freight- suggestions

Post by shue »

hi guys,
i know this is totally unrelated but tought i'll ask u guys. i need to send a couple of the guys b'kits from the group buy and cant find a freight company quoting a decent price. www.busfreight.com.au quoted me 200$ for one and 250$ for the other but i called them up to book it and they asked me 350$ for one and 400$ for the other. does anyone have any ideas who i could use to get an economical price for the guys. im kinda stuck and my customs agent is gettin annoyed the kits are lying at his warehouse for so long. ive tried aae and toll and got quoted pretty high too. any one whos used a good one lemme know. any help would be greated appreciated
thanks

we always use UPS @ work and we ship all over the country and the world.

Just a though but I think I can remember a friend that shipped some push bike wheels via Australia Post. cost him $15.00 from Sydney. he bought them on E Bay.

Busfreight would be the cheapest unless you running a business, then u can apply for a business account from any interstate delivery courier.

And it should cost your $70-90 anywhere in Aus.

BTW 300-400 is still cheaper then some Air frieght company, they charge around $2000 for next day delivery on motor body parts. 8O

problem solved. got them sent thru bus freight , most freight companies refused them coz of the size of the parcels.
