a regular parcel company is a hell of a lot more expensive than a container being pitched in by 10+ people
itt was 350 to ship my bar from sydney, and that was through one of dwaynes fiberglasser - so its going to be a bit darer for a regular joe to post one even further....
It cost me $600 to have my entire FTO transported from Sydney to Adelaide. If it's going to cost that much to send a single bar, buy a wrecked FTO over there for parts, chuck on the bar then send the car over here, then you have spare parts AND the bar
There are two types of people on forums; those that give helpful advice, and the others
Plus I don't think us South Aussies are in need of many spare parts at the moment. But still $400-$500 to send a bar is stupid if it costs $600 for a WHOLE car...

$170 via E-go. With items like this, it's not the weight thats the killer, but the size. E-go also does door-to-door pickup and delivery, not something all freight companies will do.

350? so you paid 850$ for that bar??
I'm sure postage was only $80 when I bought that bar.

Mate, its a rear bar.
I also have used transdirect they were pretty good on pricing.
Did you miss this?

I'll hand the Gen Y bashing over to Astron Boy from here...
Just to clarify, with E-Go you have to box it all up yourself, and that price was assuming a total packaged weight of about 20kg (should be around that, right?) It's not hard, just get a few big TV Boxes from Harvey Norman or JB-Hi Fi and you'll be set.
