I know a few people don't like the Post Office but I have always found them pretty useful and not had any real issues

Just from my recent experience!

you can send tubes up to 90cm tracked and signed as long as they are not too wide
Royal Mail will only insure up to ยฃ250....but if this fits your package it the cheapest way to send

I think the rule changes depending on who you ask:
Maximum size:
The combined length + width + depth must be no more than 90cm with no single side longer than 60cm

I think I must have been stung by counter staff that don't know the correct information!! And googling it, it seems this issue with tubes happens a lot.

Use parcel2go and they collect from your door.
Ups / TNT the best on next day service - always cheaper than RM and no stinky po queue
