I have heard you drop them off at your nearest UK Staples Store
you can send up to 30Kg for £8 (some stores charge £12 for delivery
to a residential address so if you can get them sent to work so much the
better), they will go by Securicor Omege/DHL.

Anyone confirm and used them?

" Thank you for your email. I can confirm that Staples offer a courier service
from each of it's stores, this service is provided by DHL.

To organise a consignment, please visit the Copy & Print Centre at your
local Staples store with your pre-packaged parcel. The in-store associate

Note just mainland islands are mentioned.
International think you would need to ask Staples or DHL. DHL I guess do International being an international company, think German. To me it seems Staples are a collection piont for them so I can see they might. I'm only just over a mile away from Staples, its next to Tesco where we shop, allmost as near as a Post Office.
