Goods transport

[UltimaCH]

Hi all!
Want to ship some auto parts from the UK to CH. Anybody have some ideas how to do so and which will not cost me an arm and a leg. Have tried the usuals (DHL, etc.) but bl**dy expensive. Delay is not critical for the shipment and I will accept to wait several weeks.
Thanks

How big? How heavy?

Thanks for the reply

Big = cat and resonator stainless bypass pipe (probably 120-150cm long)
Weight = 2-5 kgs ??

I'll get some more precise details shortly.
In the meantime, here is a pic:

Full info as follows:
It weighs about 1kg and is 200cm long by 25cm high

Any ideas?

How big of a hurry - I might be driving out around Easter.

Reason I ask is that I travel between London and Zurich every month in a 5 series estate or a V70.

So long as it'll fit (and there's still room for the dog and some luggage), I'll happily bring it over if you can arrange delivery to central London and collection from Opfikon.

That's why I need to know how big and how heavy. It's also something that ordinary couriers will need to know before they quote you.

Only a kilo? The packaging must weigh more than that...
