Direct Courier Solutions for me - I guess there's a few of these.....

They worked out cheaper than checking in luggage recently for me - box collected from my house, then delivered 4 working days later - no lugging bags to the airport or hanging around waiting for them the other end

thats a clever idea.  ... - .- -.

It's true, that the old Royal Mail, are cheap, for small stuff, and some medium sized too, but you have to ask for 'cheapest' or they just do it express style, and quote you high. The typical parcel couriers, are very good value, and allow you to choose your service. If you go for door to door, then it's a bit dearer, but you have to wait in all day. (For collection) Best I've found, is a local drop off type. You carefully weight the item, as they are getting a bit hot on that now, and measure up etc. And get your quote, print your label, and nip up to the local convenient store, or petrol station, and drop it off, giving you the whole day, the parcel gets delivered to the recipients door. And you get an email free that it's arrived. Or a text.
Typically the upper limits are 30kg, then it goes higher priced. It's easy to send stuff for about £7.
However, if say buying say, an engine, or small lathe etc, (like you do!) you can have it door to door(ed) on a pallet for about £70, within UK. so you don't need to take a crane up the motorway, and struggle etc. Often around 1m cubed, some are max height 2m I sent a whole P38 interior like this, buyer arranged it, I provided a a pallet, and off it went up the drive, on a pallet truck. And onto tail-lift.

Leave the poor chap alone, although he needs to find a courier with the goals postcode, but then at £150/200K per week, does it really matter

Should be closer to half that - DCS will do Spain for £35 - and make sure you maximise the size/weight per box, even if it means taping a couple together
