I had a problem when I tried using dx couriers but other people have had success so I could have been a one off

Your weight might not be your biggest issue

Being a generator, does it have or has it ever had any petrol in it? Courier companies can be very funny about things like flammable fluids

Pallet courier is usually best bet at that weight tbh.

Speedshift is coming up with half pallet with 600kg limit for £35.17! Not too bad for over half a tonne!
