Title: Wollongong - Help with getting crossmember to a depot
Post by: Splod on July 12, 2012, 06:27:24 PM
Hi
I'm in need of help! I bought a HR crossmember on ebay with the intention of having a mate bring it back in his ute. (It's in Wollongong - I'm in Mildura ,NW Vic) However he came back early (without it) and now I am having trouble getting the parts to a depot for transport to Mildura. I tried SmartSend, but they want to use a forklift or tail lift truck to load it at the delivery address which adds about $150 to the already slightly expensive freight ($135). It is the crossmember (clean) with the control arms and discs detached, so it could break into three parcels. 
Is there anyone who could pick it up from the seller (nice guy by the way) and maybe help arrange freight to Mildura for me? I am willing to pay for your assistance in the matter. It gets a bit hard to do much when you're 1100kms away and I feel pretty useless at this end. The seller said I can leave it at his place for a few weeks if need be. Any offers or advice?
Cheers
Splod

Have you tried e-go.com.au ? I had an LPG tank shipped from Melbourne to Adelaide for a reasonable price and it was quite weighty.

eg-com.au seems to be the best way to proceed. Someone else also suggested them and I am currently in the process of trying to organise it with them. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you for you input.
Cheers

Sorted!
Thanks to all the people who suggested/offered help.
I ended up going with e-go.com.au  Not the cheapest but seemed the easiest for the situation.
Thanks again, this forum is invaluable to me.
