Freight Charges For Various Items, Especially Heavier Stuff.


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, i'm wondering which courier services do u all use to get stuff from other parts of australia delivered to brissy or vice versa? I need some recommendations for cheap courier services, doesnt need to be sent to the door, i can pick up from depots within 25kms of brissy. Especially for heavier items like rims, what would be cheap to use? Any recommendations and suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanx!

A lot of people have used Pack and Send. I haven't used them, but I did have to get a quote once and their service seemed reasonably priced. :P

TNT (and others) do not appears to offer services to individuals, only to businesses.

I had to send a carbon bonnet to Vic last week and rang round for quotes:

TNT- wouldn't do

Toll Priority- $500

Pack Send- $330

Hunter Express- $160

Greyhound Freight- $81

You can guess who i sent it with :P

i got quoted to send a bike through toll ipec and qrail about $200. from just north of brissy to sydney.

where possible i use australia post as they are darn cheap if its within their limits. to send a bike frame from qld to vic was about $30.

for stuff over that i get my mate to send it through fastway as he has an account. but i haven't had to send anything really big or heavy.

but yeah, small couriers are good. i got a front bar sent up from brissy (about 180km away), delivered same day and cost me $10. and the box it came in was huge.

Just remember a few small things. Fragile stickers mean they can break it.

Cheapest isnt always the best, neither is most expencive. Depends on who its with. Some its weight, others its space.

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
