Four wheels with tyres on them.

Thanks

If you mean a car then Adtrans all the way.

If you mean rims only then they should be boxed. TNT express will do it at a fee.

Or local transport services are cheaper, again, what state are they going to?

Ive got names but need that info, as truckers keep to their own routes.......

OK, most courier services wont touch it if it aint boxed. They are liable for damage...

As far as transport goes, Adelaide to NSW, try Kevin at Apollo Removals, then try Bob Edgar Removals, hell go onto www.yellowpages.com.au for more details. Thats the go. :D

I used busfreight to get springs to me from QLD. They are good for heavier items, but each wheel would work out to about $30 I reckon, total $120. They go on weight of individual items, ie. each wheel.

Toll Ipec Road Express will do that, just make sure you protect the rims really really really well (maybe even stack them 2x2 on a skid/palette for extra security - but an additional cost).

I've delivered plenty of bare tyres in my time (and a set of 4 boxed rims today actually).

Can anyone recommend a Courier service here in Adelaide to Interstate

I just sold my front bar to Dineth. Organised through Air Road Direct, 1300 555 450. I just wrapped it up in bubble wrap and they picked it up this morning no worries. All paid for by Dineth in Melbourne.

Pack and send are sheit.

They charged me $20 for a crate to pack a diff in to send to Sydney. Then $110 for delivery.

They then had to pickup the changeover diff in the same box, and return it to Adelaide. Another $110

I got a call saying my package was here.

I go down there, and they have unpacked my stuff, and i have a diff sitting there, and no crate i payed $20 for anywhere in sight.

Last time i heard it was illegal to open other peoples mail.

that sounds like great value would be road freight so possible expect 2-3 days but @ least it will get there and safe did that include insurance on the rims

No Insurance being one off.

Should be OK. Hard to damage them as I have packed them + big item to loose.

You get tracking numbers to go with it.

Ive got a $95 quote via TNT Express to bring down 4 x 17's from NSW to Adelaide, I think it might go up $30 due to the weight (I said 12.5kg each rim/tyre). Getting it picked up next Tuesday............

:) yehah! 17's for my Stagea!

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
