Normally I would expect the person you are doing the exchange with to sort out the collection/delivery as they will almost certainly have a preferred courier or even a contract...

I sent a short engine to someone who won it on ebay. I used Nightfreight because I knew they did heavy items, it weighed exactly 50kg when all packed and cost £27 for a 3 day service.
