I'd suggest using a company that ships its own stuff and not a company that contracts to royal mail, parcelforce, or any other general freight handler. Fedex or DHL are best imo. I say this because I work in air cargo and how some of the courier stuff is treated is pretty shocking. I'd be surprised if something like headlights made it there in one piece
