Default What couriers do you use for large parcels.

I've always used Royal Mail standard parcels, but there is a 1.5 metre and 20kg limit on the parcel. Is there a courier anyone can recommend that has a higher/ larger limit (and is reasonable on price)

Limit on length or weight your problem? If its the weight then Parcelforce via senditnow.com do a 48 hour service for £10.50 for anything up to 30kgs. Think they have the same length limit though

I have an account with APC overnight.
Max length I can send is 3.05 mtrs.
Max weight is 50kg.

Haven't let me down, even through all the bad weather we had!

Think they do cash customers if you take it in to your local depot.

I use DHL via Parcel2go quite a bit and so far they have been spot on "touch wood", their prices are good and its really conveniant booking online and paying via paypal then having them collect the parcel from your home address.
