Best (cheapest) courier to ship a bullbar?

[TC.Barky]

Anyone know of an interstate courier service that would be cheapest for shipping a steel bullbar to QLD? Gonna shop around for quotes but if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

eGo Couriers would be my first port of call.

Hi TC,
I send all my stuff by pack & send ( as you should know ).
They use either TNT or TOLL depending on where it is going.

I haven't found anyone cheaper than these guys ( if you do it on line ) and don't get them to do it otherwise you will get ripped a new.

You can do a quote online also to get some idea of cost.

I found www.interparcel.com.au good when sending a 32kg wheel interstate. It gives you quotes from several major courier companies.

Use to use a freight company to move my motorbike. TOLL took over the company and price went from $640 to $2400 overnight. Good on ya Toll ya thieving

TOLL,NQX AND I-PEC all the same company anyway.
cheers

I use e-Go (Hunter Express) as well Andrew and if you use the depot to depot option it is a lot cheaper.

You can also put the item on a pallet to reduced the cost further.

Just play around with their estimator to work out the best way to reduce overall cost.

Cheers

I've never had any problems with https://www.startrack.com.au/

I shipped a bull bar from Mandurah south of Perth to Sydney with direct freight express. I had an account with them, it cost me about $130 from memory.

StarTrack would be more expensive than direct freight.

Try temando they use lots of couriers.

Been involved in transport for a while. Direct Freight or Hunter Express are good budget carriers, Couriers Please would be another option. The suggestion from andyk is a good call to keep cost down.

Hunter express gets my vote. Startrack express was a PITA for me.

Hunter Express for a Bullbar from Brissy to Melb last year was around $90 - depot to door.

Whatever you do, DO NOT USE TNT. I bought a bullbar from Lismore, and got a quote from the local TNT agent for $85 to ship it to Cooma NSW. Next thing, it arrived - very quickly indeed. Then came the bill. I finished up paying over $290 for freight. I didn't have a TNT account, and the local agent was going to use his account for me, but in the end that was not to be. I got the bar quite cheaply (off EBAY), and it finished up costing less than a new one, but it left a nasty taste in my mouth about TNT and their agents.
