Hi guys. I'm trying to buy some astra turbo mags (you've prob seen them for sale up on the site). Anyone know of a way to send a fairly large package from Brisbane to Melbourne?

They weigh 15kgs EACH. And are too big to be sent by australia post. I've tried a couple of courier companies but they all seem hidiously expensive (UPS = $617!!!)

Is there some place out there that i haven't found yet that will do a 60kg package for under $200?

Thanks very much for your help.

Go the interstate trucking companies, get the seller to drop them off at the depot in Brisbane. They do these runs all the time and shouldn't charge much.

I've had heaps of stuff BIG stuff shipped from Brisbane, but one of my dad's mates is a truckie :lol:

I think I sent my brother's car over to Sydney from Perth for that price

Toll Ipec will charge a Far it, But they will do Door to Door Service.

But I'd try Camerons Interstate(Melb Depot in Bayswater)
Or Total Logistics.
Most Frieghter charge buy Cubic Wieght(Length X Width x Hieght x 250)
Then times that by the Carrier Rate and Minimum Charge.
But Brisbane to Melb. Will cost around $100-$150 give or take a Bit.

I hope that helps.
