My best mate owns MacGregor Logistics in Sunshine.

They cart all over the country, theirs rates are very competitive and they pride themselves on the quality of their service.

A lot of people in the industry know of MacGregor's even though they are just a small family run company.

If you need anything moved give them a call on 9312 771 - ask to speak to Marty and tell him Aaron passed on his details. I will guarantee that you will get service 2nd to none. Their depot is in Vella Drive in Sunshine. They also have local pick up/delivery in most capital cities and can arrange pick up and drop offs en-route between cities.

If anyone needs anymore info feel free to drop me a PM.

My main problem with TNT is their invoicing - in particular their bogus Account Service Fees.

I was quoted $24.19 over the phone by TNT to send a parcel Sydney to Dubbo, so I told my customer and he added that exact price onto his payment to me.

When I received the TNT invoice it was for $34.64 - the original $24.19 PLUS an account service fee of $10.45 - more than half the freight cost again! Surely this is illegal!

I refuse to pay $10.45 to someone to print an invoice - nobody else can do that - no other courier company does that - so why should they be able to get away with it? Ive just short paid my invoice and I will probably be blackbanned by TNT but Ive just bought some couriers please dockets and im happily sending things for half the price and no account service fees!

If you actually had of read the terms and conditions that would have been sent to you when setting up the account with tnt you would know that there is an account service fee charged every time you get in invoice.

im not saying its right but its what you would have signed up to so if you dont read everything properly before you sign up its your own fault really and you shouldnt have anything to complain about.

I just used AirRoadDirect to ship a striped down SR20 from Townsville to Sydney. I used 6 boxes to cut the handling weight down, Instead of 1x113kg box. Each box weighs roughly around 20kgs. The quote was $214 which is pretty competitive IMO.

I had a quote from Pack and Send for 4 of the boxes and it was well over $300.

I'll repost once i see the goods in Sydney. Hopefully not damaged

COD is a tough one, not many courier places will do it.

On another note if your are looking to set up an account with TNT now is the time to do it. If you have an ABN number get in touch with me as i can set you up on an account that has no surcharges on it only fuel surcharge, but no account service fee no oversize fees no DG fees, just a low freight cost. Anyway if interested shoot me an email on [email protected] i can help you out.

good rates if you are only send from time to time because there is no minimum spend level with this rate card

I've got a hurdle trying to ship a glass window from Perth to Melbourne.

The hurdle is that the seller doesn't have the time to package it or send it.

Are there any companies that can pick up items, package them, and send them interstate?

And if you know, what are their rates?

i need to know pretty soon so any help would be much appreciated

I used BHF couriers to ship a front bar from Melbourne to gosford at first they seemed ok $143. Everything turned up ok,

then 2 months later the credit card gets hit for $78 and I get an email claiming that we gave them false information and that the package was 56 kg.

The bar is a standard plastic one without reo. We are still fighting with them but I thought I would let people know so others don't get robbed.

Thumbs down for e-go. Pair of headlights arrived broken, first one took a week to arrive, second one arrived a further 3 days later, strange when they were posted on the same day?!?!!!?

may be a stupid question, but do wheels need to be packed in any special way for transit? I'm looking for a company to do door pickup in Mel, depot dropoff in Syd.

The seller wants nothing to do with organising including any kind of packing of needed, so am after a place that will pick up from sellers house and drop off at depot in Syd. (can then pick up from anywhere in Syd. Any recommendations?

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
