I would recommend DHL and you can track online every time the package moves location. One tip, dont go directly through DHL but book it through Interparcel:
http://www.interparcel.com/
They bulk buy and use DHL. The great thing is it is about half the price of DHL direct, you book and pay online and they will pick up from your house or office.
Good Luck

we used the royal mail international signed for service...the most expensive item was a wadge of documentation costing £31. we have used them on 3-4 boccassions and are able to trace items online...no problem whatsoever. Also used the Australian Post Office srvice to send cheque back to Britain...excellent online tracking system...took three-four days.

Re: Help with Couriers....
I will have to agree with Jon, use Interparcel.
We sent our docs with them, cost us £20 less than DHL, and they used DHL and got there in 3 days.
Aslo able to track through DHL website.
