Ask your local pro shop if they have any old boxes going spare

a club 1st class recorded post should be around 4/5 pounds to send. alternatively your work may have a courier account with tnt/dhl etc and it may work out cheaper that way.
As bob said try and get an old club box and just make sure its wrapped up safely, couriers can be a be "heavy handed" and always pay the extra £1.50 for the insurance if using royal mail/parcel force.

My PO wont send clubs 1st class. They claim they are too long when in the "standard" golf club box. They go standard parcels and cost about 5-6 quid.
YOur local AG or DG may have some too.

When I sold my clubs I got a box from the pro, put bubble wrap around each head and packed the box at either end with old newspapers to stop them moving around. I put thick brown tape along the edge and at both end to stop the box splitting open and sent them recorded delivery

Not unless your company is sending a shed load of parcels a day. Lowest fee we pay is £8.00 with LPC
Royal mail will be the cheapest, but certainly not the best.
try http://www.parcel2go.com/ . Used them personally 4-5 times and been perfect everytime

Golf Clubs exceed the length limit for Royal Mail, although some POs will accept putters or shorter boxes close to the limit. Parcelforce will take them, but if the club has any value, I use Interparcel, who ship with UPS, DHL and others, and will pick up from your home. This is about £6.99 for a UK shipment and I have used them at least 50 times to send stuff, including expensive collectors' clubs, to destinations ranging between London and Hong King.

I've always sent mine by Royal Mail Standard Parcels although I've only ever sold individual clubs.
Standard Parcels is ideal for items up to 1.5m long and 20kg in weight, provided the combined length and girth doesn’t exceed 3m. Golf clubs don't exceed the length limit for Royal Mail, as previously posted.
An individual club is well below the 2kg limit so is only £4.41 to send.
So far as boxes are concerned I unravel any large cardboard box, cut it lengthtwise and form a toblerone type tube to house the club snugly with lots of brown packing tape. Wrap the head in bubblewrap and Bob's your uncle. Never had any complaints.

Has Now Found His Wedgie
Ditto the above. I recently sold a number of drivers, all shipped via Standard Parcels for £4.40 each. I had no boxes, each was bubble wrapped, all arrived safe undamaged. The cost covers insurance for £40 which you can up if you need to.

What is the limit?
I send the V-Easys through Royal Mail in boxes 50 inches long and never had a problem.

Think the limit is a metre, I posted some wedges today and the wifey at the PO counter got the tape out. I had shortened the standard golf club box right down to wedge length as I knew they'd try that!

Royal Mail First Class has a limit of 90cm, but you can still use Standard Parcels up to 1.5m.
What John forgot to tell you was that of course he has only ever sold club with half a shaft in them after snapping the buggers over his knees!
