Title: QLD to SA Transportation Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on February 01, 2006, 10:32:44 PM Can anyone help out with an economical way to get two rear doors and a couple of sill panels from the Gold Coast to Adelaide?

Have you tried busfreight? Cheers Ed Title: Re: QLD to SA Transportation Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on February 01, 2006, 11:14:18 PM I had thought about that, but between my "non-car-nut" brother and the Bus Freight people, I figured the doors may not stand a chance.
Next question, how much do doors weigh, they won't take anything over 20kg. Title: Re: QLD to SA Transportation Post by: Steven_Johnson on February 02, 2006, 12:55:33 AM Stinky just had a fc front door sent from Sydney cost $60 well wrapped perfect order.
Title: Re: QLD to SA Transportation Post by: FB_MAD on February 02, 2006, 07:44:30 AM Stinky.I bought an EH 149 engine in Wangaratta Vic and needed it sent 900 kms to where I live in N.S.W. and I went through a freight company called "Vicfast" with the cost from pickup at Wang to my door being $152.24.I costed it out with doing the trip myself (XR8 F#*@$on)and worked out that I couldn't have even got to Wangaratta with a trailer for that price let alone the return trip cost.
In comparisan I got a quote from a very well advertised national freight company with very pretty trucks and the letters TLL in their name plus another vowel (but I'm not saying their name for legal reasons ;))and their quote was $350 and I would also have to drive to their depot 80 km away to pick up the motor there as they wouldn't deliver door to door. Go to www.fbekholden/forum and look under topic "Got Something To Say",scroll down to my post "Looking For A Cheap Freight Company" on Dec 9 '05 and the contact details for the bloke I dealt with at Vicfast are there.Vicfast deliver to most states except N.T and Tassie. I'm sure your doors and other parts won't weigh as much as a 149 ;) so they should'nt be as expensive to freight. No harm in ringing them for a quote. P.M Me if you want to know more. Terry. P.S. I don't work for Vicfast. ;) Title: Re: QLD to SA Transportation Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on February 03, 2006, 11:35:41 AM Thanks all for the responses, I am overwhelmed, thinking I wouldn't get much of a response I put the question on two boards and now I have 6 leads to follow up.
Steven, was that Bus Freight you used? Was there any damage? Title: JRe: QLD to SA Transportation Post by: Steven_Johnson on February 04, 2006, 10:42:42 AM Yes that was greyhound bus service no damage if my car was that colour i could have put straight on. cheers Steve
