Title: Road Transport
Post by: ozfueler on August 05, 2002, 10:04:06 AM
Could any one suggest a reliable and cost effective way of shipping parts (engine, wheels etc) from Adelaide to Melbourne.
 
I've recently purchased some parts from a S.A. member and I'm having a bit of trouble arranging transport to Melbourne.  They weigh about 200 kilos and are about the size of a pallet.  

I've tried a couple of transport companies but they're not interested in small amounts, any suggestions would be very welcome.

Regards,
Steve...

Hi ya    Steve
     Have you tried a removalist going to Adelaide , they might be looking for a "back-load"  I sent some things to the NSW central coast that way.

Hi Norm,
I hadn't thought of that, but it's worth a try on Monday.
Thanks,

Try some of the smaller firms in the Yellow Pages, I recently shipped a big block from Port Pirie to Adelaide for $30, the company were only too keen for the business.

What about Rail?

If you get really desperate, post a personnal message here, I know a bloke who runs plants between Adel and Melb. I could see if he was interested or he might know someone who is.

Thanks Stinky,
I'm in Melbourne so it is a little dfficult finding some of the numbers in S.A.
I'm currently trying some removalists without much luck, so I would appreciate it if you could talk to your friend and let me know.
Regards,

Can you give me some details please.
Suburbs, Adelaide and Melbourne, so that if they can't deliver direct at least they can get it to a depot near you.

Cheers
