I have used these to get scooby bits and bobs delivered across the UK

http://www.parcel2go.com/

Nothing as big as a bonnet though........ I would make sure the bonnet is well protected in transit as they are pretty fragile !!!

Dont what ever you do use postvan if anything goes wrong you will have trouble with them. They dont seem to have any understanding of their legal obligation.

Bonnets (and panels) are a pain to send. I've heard of most people having problems with virtually every well known courier company. It's a bit hit and miss, even with the better ones.

http://www.e-couriernews.co.uk/couriers.html - have a snout through those.

For big stuff we use a local company, The Delivery Specialists, ask for Eric on 01603 710017 and say Henry sent you. They might be able to work it in for you as they go all over the UK doing direct deliveries.

Because of its size most couriers wont touch it becuase a. of its size and b. becuase allot wont pickup from a residential property.
So you have a choice. Use one of the bug guns (amtrack etc) and get them to pickup from your works address. or b. use either parceltogo.co.uk (although due to its size they will charge more for a bonnet and it WONT be insured), if you use parcelforce (you will need to take to the local depot) atleast you can insure it, just make sure you oversinure it and you can prove its worth. I actually had a scooby item broken by parcelforce and I ended up getting more for it than it was actually worth, but it did take 5 weeks to get them to pay up but they did.
You pays your money.......................

I didn't realise you had a company, otherwise I would have recommended Interlink - they are the best I've used so far, but you need an account.
