    Courier to ship a battery?

    Can anyone suggest/recommend a courier that will accept a car battery? Im trying to return a battery to Fogstar (nothing wrong with said battery, just changed my power route) and they said they can have it collected by their courier for £40. Just wondered if I can get it cheaper than that? :cry:
