    Normally I'd say E-go. Taz shipped me an engine and gearbox + manual gear (The engine wasn't for me) for like a hundred bucks or something, from Queensland to Sydney.

    Although, recently they broke a Version R wing that was sent from Taz to Shhtuart in Melbourne so yeah, I'd be reluctant to go through them personally.
    I fix cars.

    Never use e-go.com.au if you have any value in your consignment whatsoever. They are dirt cheap for a reason. They are a subsidiary of Hunter Express which seems to me to be a possible tax break for them as e-go have no actual shop fronts, offices or phone numbers to call. Only contact is through an email address, they contract smaller businesses to act as drop off locations. Avoid.

    We've been using e-go at work for the past 18 months, sending thousands of dollars worth of equipment by them and have only had one consignment go missing. As it turns out, the courier delivering it in the area had taken the kit back to the depot without telling anyone, so the kit had sat at the depot for 2 weeks before we found out.

    E-go are fine so long as you're not trying to ship something large AND fragile, unless it is shipped on a pallet and strapped down properly with protection over the top to minimise any damage.
    I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

    I think it just comes down to dismantling and packaging it properly

    Yeah, we deal with Toll, and you would be surprised the amount of damages that occur when our warehouse crew don't pack properly...

    So even with the big coy's you still get damages...
    I just had to add it ......
