Have you tried parcel2go that's probably the best place, given the length it'd probably say TNT are the cheapest.

Whenever I order ladders it's always Tuffnells that's delivered them. I'm assuming they weren't economical for the 2m lance?

Best price for a pole worth 400-800£ posted has always been £30-£40

Never found cheaper.

Box is usually 1.8-2.0m in length.

Many years ago I worked as an HGV driver, wagons displayed- UK Mail /Business Post
Looking at their parcel calculator it would cost £12.99 from Rutland to Glasgow.
No single dimension exceeds 80cm upto 25kg
Upto 20kg maximum 140cm £11.99
