Did you think you'd not be paying import tax, and not factor it into the price you paid? (Similar for courier admin fees).
Import tax (duty) is always payable on any item of value brought into the UK, or exported out of the EEC.

These people use DHL for guitars https://www.overlandexpress.co.uk/musical-instrument-courier They offer full insurance cover too.
I am guessing that UPS sometimes use agency drivers.

If they are packed in a hard case, with extra bubble wrap around the case, they should be fine. Fill any voids in the case with foam peanuts, or crumpled newspaper, to stop it moving around. Put a towel or bubble wrap under the neck to support it, loosen the strings and pack any accessories seperately, to avoid them scratching the guitar. A lot of it is down to the carrier that you choose, https://www.overlandexpress.co.uk/instrumentcourier insure them up to £3000, providing they are in a hard case. The more packing the better. Consider that the parcel will go through many hands throughout it's journey, so the more effort that you put into packing, the less chance of any damage. Obviously you could advertise it as local collection, but you are severely limiting your audience.
