Default Postage for alloys

Just bought a set of 17" RS Sevens off the Ebay and he is from Essex and Im from Cheshire near Liverpool.
He has given me a quote of £100 for postage which i think is a bit steep
Does anyone know who is cheaper for postage/courier, im not bothered about how long they take to arrive, just the cheaper option.

I think it's around 60 - 70 odd for courier aint it? And he needs to wrap them really well as a courier will no give a shit about them and I no more than one case people have recieved scratched/damaged wheels
