Courier from UK to Ireland with inclusive insurance??

Hi,

I am looking to organise a courier to pick up stock in the UK and deliver to Ireland with a value of c. £1,000. I was looking on parcelmonkey.co.uk which offer some good value options (tracked post via DPD for £16 for example), however to insure it via parcel monkey for the value adds an extra £50! DPD themselves offer insurance up to 3k for a mere additional £5, however on contacting them the rep. seemed to think it was not possible to add the insurance directly with them when I've booked through the comparison site (I dont have an account as I only use courier services on occasion) So for this reason, can anyone advise a courier service that is reasonably priced going from the UK to Ireland with insurance to a value of 1k? Thanks
