Default Shipping big parcel to NZ

I'm looking at shipping a car exhaust but the problem is the box is 135cm x70x25.
Apparently a standard pallet is 120cm meaning companies either refuse to ship it at all or want 200-600 quid.
It's only worth 250 max!!
Anyone shipped anything like this and have any suggetions.
The only way I can think of is in a shared container with one of the moving companies.

Unless someone has space in their container?

Kiwi friend has used www.markchudley.com to ship car parts from UK to NZ (while friend was in NZ)....they will build crates to size for shipping if needed.
