Title: Shipping Exhaust Manifolds
Post by: 77CVT on August 28, 2012, 03:41:38 PM

I have a set of sidepipe manifolds to send to Adelaide.  

"Box" dimensions are about 70 x 68 x 48 cm and weighs about 10? kg.  I have online quotes from Pack n Send and e-go.  Due to the size (shape) quotes start at about $80.  

Does anyone know a reasonable freight mob?

First
Depending on where is has to go
 try the railway  mail/freight  system
it actually goes Australia Post  but they take larger parcels
The receiver can pick up at their local railway station

second
 Ring the interstate bus companies
But $80.00 is not to bad a price
we use  these for out of the way delivers

I got quotes for the headers and side pipes from as high as $380 from Sydney to Gold Coast (3 boxes) ended up useing TNT for $130. Pack and send were the dearest.

I've sent a few things using e-go and they seem to be the cheapest in most cases.  Considering the size, $80 seems ok.
