With smaller parts such as wing mirrors and interior panels, I stick them in a box with some newspaper/bubble wrap to stuff it, and send from the post office. Obviously the address needs to be stuck on the box. You have the choice of 1st class (1-2 days) or Standard Parcel usually (3-5 days). Stick your address at the back of the box in small print just incase something goes wrong, and it'll come back to your house.

For bigger panels such as bonnets, bumpers and wheels, I use Paisley Freight services who have some awesome prices. For example, £27.50 for a set of four rims, £25 for a door/bumper/bonnet/tailgate. You can book online at www.paisleyfreight.com and they will collect from you on your chosen date and deliver the next day. I have been using these guys for ages and they have only messed up once, imo that's good for a courier service!! If you need a custom quote you can use the online booking form, but what I do is email the dude directly and he gets back to me the same day with a price. Just describe the item and weight of the parcel and he'll give you a price. :)

Also, mention my name. :)
