Depends a bit on the value and how well you pack it...
Most of the "next day" couriers I know will "trunk" it so goes on multiple lorries - can put "do not machine" on TNT and we have shipped breakables by them but it is only really packaging that saves them.
If it is valuable enough see if a local courier firm will do a door to door quote (so stays on one vehicle) or can recommend someone. Removal firms could be a possibility - particularly if not in a hurry so could move with another job for you.
