A problem with royal mail is a built bmx is too big to send with them. When I bought my dk, the seller was saying collection only, I managed after a while to pursuade her to post it, it got sent insured for its full value with City Link.
I know where you are coming from, its too expensive and too dodgy sending stuff anywhere other than the mainland.
Fingers crossed the frames turn up and you get sorted out. I hold no hope of ever seeing my skyway wheel, the seller is putting in a claim for it today I think.

The biggest mistake the seller made in your case was putting it in a laptop box that was just asking for trouble.
BTW anyone who sends a bike built is just asking for it to get wrecked, general rule of thumb is you should be able to throw a parcel down the street without the contents getting wrecked because that's the level of unintentional abuse it will get during handling.
Due my location I use Parcelforce via senditnow.com and you can select the amount of insurance cover you want and send a parcel up to 35kg.

I spoke to my seller yesterday and told him I thought it had been nicked cos it looked like a laptop, but it turns out, he said it was in a laptop box, but a blank one. Still had loads of people tell me Yodel staff like to nick stuff though.
