Post Freight companies

Anyone got any ideas on what freight companies would be decent pricewise to get an EL XR front bar from Alburry (NSW/Vicy border)?

pay me $400 and I'll do it ... hee hee
I'm a courier ... but that pays for me to go down there and get it as well.
It'll be in good hands I swear it.

Removalist companies that backload are always a good place to start. Ask a few of the Tassie ones where there depot is in VIC and give them as close as posible measurements of the bar. You may need to have it couriered to the removalist depot first,this may not be the quickest but probably the cheapest option.

Have heard people in the Us using Pack and Send to get stuff sent from Oz over to the US. No complaints so far.

Try ringing Watkins or Price removals. They are both based in Tassie and would be able to pick it up and deliver it direct to you.Not to sure as to what the price would be but I think this would be the most convenient.They both are usually over here on a weekly basis.
