Sorry, if you are shipping to the U.K. I would think it would be best to get the shop to do it. Firstly, you would have to get the shop to pack and label it (would the do that). Secondly, would you take it to the depot or would the shop! Thirdly, I have had experience of DHL when I ran my business and used to send abroad all the time. IMHO They were not the best company to ship with. I sent a cast iron stick stand, extremely well packed, down to London from Scotland with DHL. It arrived in 3 pieces, good job I had read the small print and taken out insurance. I would say that using the postal system, letting the shop pack and label and post for you at the cost of £21.00. is cheap.
