I don't know what's "approved", but I'd steer clear of the usual recommendations of using a third-party broker such as Parcel Monkey.
They'll save you a couple of quid and are fine as long as nothing goes wrong, but if it does they're a major ballache: they issue their own tracking ref. (distinct from the actual courier's ref.) and you can't communicate with the courier directly (or promptly).
Parcel Force is convenient for me, because I can drop-off at a PO rather than waiting for them to collect; UPS are the Rapha of box-hodders; DPD provide accurate, 1 hour delivery windows and can be diverted to a pick-up point by the recipient if they won't be at the delivery address.
