Default European courier suggestions.

Good evening guys.Ive just sold my fsti exhaust system on ebay.to a guy in holland.now I'm looking for suggestions on company to use and prices for a courier services.the buyer has paid extra on top to cover these costs(well to a certain amount) so obviously don't want to spend over that.im guessing its done on weight/length also?any advice would be greatly appreciated.cheers.

Thats what parcelforce quoted.the guy was gonna drive over in two weeks but opted for posting.its a genome backbox with a custom fsti set up so he is still getting a fairly good deal.
