Title: Freighting Goods Post by: KFH on March 06, 2016, 02:58:42 PM Does anybody know of a company/firm that can cheaply and safely transport a parcel from Toowoomba to Adelaide area. The parcel is 550 X 450 X 300 and weighs 5.5kg. The postal cost is quite expensive.

Try this company I found them very reasonable & quick. www.e-go.com.au Cheers John Title: Re: Freighting Goods Post by: Harv on March 06, 2016, 03:55:02 PM e-Go is certainly the cheapest courier I have seen, and I would have little hesitation using them for bulky or heavy items that are not able to be damaged.
I am a lot more guarded about using them for anything fragile. They subcontract out to various local couriers. The courier they use in my area is very rough. I have had two parcels (both superchargers) arrive that have had the packaging shattered, despite being very well packed by the senders. It takes special effort to shatter a 20L plastic box. The force involved was enough to bend 1/2" studs (!). It breaks your heart to see a courier walking up your driveway with a Norman, with pieces falling out of the box. I've picked other parcels up from their warehouse, and watched the way their forklifts operate for pick-and-carry... can't say I was impressed.

I have started using SENDLE. https://www.sendle.com ($2) So far, excellent servicing and pricing. Your parcel is just over the $14.75 weight, but will cost you $18.75 door-to-door. Cheers, Gary. Title: Re: Freighting Goods Post by: Stewy on March 06, 2016, 08:21:26 PM Hi Keith,
I had 4 redline 19" wheels and tyres dropped of at Caboolture depot for e-go last month. they weighed 25kg each. With insurance it cost $165. I picked them up from the depot in Adelaide about 6 days later. I organised it all on the net (although being a bit nervous about my $800 investment) Had the email and the text messages promptly and could track them on line. Was very happy to say all went well with no problems. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Freighting Goods Post by: FCRB26 on March 06, 2016, 08:35:56 PM for big stuff i use ego

Keith Title: Re: Freighting Goods Post by: Ol_Girl_58 on March 08, 2016, 10:47:09 AM I've used e-go to transport a 202, Webers, corvette seats, an entire interior, a bonnet and various bike parts from all over Australia down to Hobart. Never any problems, always a reasonable price, especially Depo to Depo.
I'm about to freight a couple of pushies to Alice Springs, including a carbon fibre framed bike, and it's worked out pretty cheap. Regards, Josh. |
