Freight Charges For Various Items, Especially Heavier Stuff.

[J-Boy]

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!

I did a search and found a member who had a discount deal with one that he was offering to SAU, I cant remember which/who but a search may help.

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.

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

TNT is often the cheapest, but as stated above you must have an account. Pack & send is expensive in my experience.

Couriers please...its about $20 to send a GTR cylinder head to Melbourne!

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.
