hey,

just wondering which companies anyone has used to ship items within australia?

looking to send a set of rims from melbourne to qld and just trying to find out who is reliable and reasonably cheap.

any feedback or contacts/links to companies would be good.

:D

have you tried austpost

15kg wheel no tyre about $20 each from Melb to Bris door to door

just pack them seperatly, go down to your local tyre store and some empty mag wheel boxes :rant:

Fastway couriers are about $20 door to door as well for items 20-25kg. Cheaper if the weight is lower.

Catch is you have to purchase there stickers first as its a pre paid system and they come in books of about 30.

Just buy four stickers off a company who uses them.

so you're saying they would go from melb. to qld. for $20 per wheel??

you wouldn't happen to know someone who i could buy these stickers from??

Most the big name transport companies like TNT and Tol Ipec, you need to be a company and set up a account

try www.busfreight.com.au

I recently had a dashboard sent from Queensland to NSW via busfreight: only cost $30 (which given the size of the object, was great). Far cheaper than any of ther other freight companies I tried.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
