To get cheap beer without that billy bunt Brown getting any of the money for it.
Have you tried looking at DHL and other such deivery companies who's names have completely escaped me. |

Well, just did a quick calculation (Paris to London, since I didn't know exact places.) with UPS and Standard shipping would be about 30 euros / 20 pounds. Not way too much cheaper, plus it might differ for different source/target locations.
http://wwwapps.ups.com/calTimeCost?loc=en_FR You need ZIP codes to use it. Edit: FedEx estimates more than twice as much at the very least, so I'd say they're out.  Edit 2: Sorry, I seem to have gotten source and target confused, but I'm guessing it doesn't make much of a difference. Either way, have a look and good luck, I'm going to sleep now.

They just gave me a fixed price of £23 for Mainland collection... Me being in NI would attract a big surcharge...
