good luck mate. I tried asking about similar stuff and got a very flat response.

All the major couriers seem to have a 25kg limit. Try Thomson Local directory, quite a few independent couriers listed for my area. Look in local paper classifieds for "a man with a van." How far is it? May be cheaper to deliver it yourself.

How much will it cost?

You go down to Uni that way(ish) anyway don't you?

How far into Berks is it?

Where do you need it taken from and to specifically? Got any postcodes?

Driving it yourself would probably be cheapest though I'll do it myself for fuel money and a beer if you like, so long as it's not too long :)
