Is there any courier who will deliver perfume or even an empty glass vase/bottle?

Came across this when selling a perfume in crystal bottle. Sold to an EU country but been told that perfume or even if I emptied it, the bottle (which was te main attraction) could be delivered by RM, neither home not abroad. I haven't managed to find anyone else - tried DHL, MyHermes etc.
I don't get it why a bottle less than 50ml wouldn't be posted if they allow 100ml on planes! or even if empty.

I had a nightmare with this issue - posting a perfume to boyfriends mum in Portugal. I asked at my post office and somehow the bloke behind the counter's brother ran a courier service and offered to take it for £25 which she was happy to pay.

I know this doesn't really help you (unless you are anywhere near
Manchester) but there clearly are people willing to take them.

It was overland transport by the way.

thank you, Christmastree, sorry for such a delay!
Yes people mention courieres but it seems like the known ones won't do it - I can see abusiness opportunity for those willing to! It really doesn't make sense disallowing 50ml liquids or even empty bottles!
Lucky you found someone, but I wouldn't pay 25 pounds as I was selling it - but in some cases it may be worth it, I wonder if people advertise online or is that not allowed either...Not near Manchester, I wonder if they have branches (midlands)!
