    Just strap it to your body and pretend to be fat, as long as it is not suspected to be a bomb.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    You could try these people. They are usually reasonable. Your problem is the size of the item, not the weight. £45 is actually quite a good price for a large parcel. They go on size as well as weight as they will be shipped via airmail and you pay for the amount of space you take up in the hold.
