Hi guys,

I need to get some parts sent down from another state down to VIC. I used to use this service - they're relatively small - you just do it all online - put in measurements, weight and it gives you a price which you can pay online for and then specify a time and they will arrange pick up and delivery that is relatively cheap too. Can't seem to remember this group.

Any ideas of reliable and similiar srevivces?

Thanks fellas.

I think transdirect may have changed their policy.

But you use to have to get the sender to label the boxes.

One of the labels fell off one of my rim boxes and they lost it.

6 months later after the claim. I finally got it finalised and will receive a pay out for the lost rim.

Other than that, they have been pretty good all other times.

I think they may have started to get the driver to stick con notes on the boxes themselves.

You cannot rely on the label you print from the carrier. That is for their records and processing.

ALWAYS write on the carton directly, or tape on a seperate receiver/sender address label.

I send literally thousands of consignments and have never once lost one (touch wood!).

There's a risk to putting it less than what it is. Get pinged and pay more.

Putting it slightly more can have a drastic change in price.

A lot of the time my weight isn't an issue. It's the volume that is.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
