We always recommend Parcel2Go http://www.parcel2go.com/?gclid=CLTUiqrQ6K4CFQ1lfAodLjDShQ - they use the established courier companies and are very reasonably priced.  As long as the machine can be reasonably carried by one person (usually 25-30Kg in weight) then it should be OK.  Anything above that may need to be sent via a Palletised network and will obviously cost a lot more.

Parcel2go couldn't carry a 35kg machine for me, so I used interparcel who booked it with citylink. Next day before 12 with £500 insurance for £45 inc. VAT.
