Those shipping prices are from a Website called Interparcel.
It is a great site that I have used myself a number of times - and they usually have really good prices.
The prices quoted above were from me estimating the size of the box that a mower would ship in, and estimating the wieght.
The sizes I used were 60cm x 40cm x 40cm and a total of 35kg
Go to interparcel.com.au
Enter the Suburb for pickup
Enter the suburb for delivery
Enter Dimentions L x W x H
Enter Weight
And it will come back straight away with a list of quotes, starting with the cheapest.
I've always been happy with the quotes - always a lot less than I expected.As above $27 bucks to transport a mower from Melbourne to Sydney - that's less than I thought it would be - I was guessing at around $40 - $50.
And there is another great site I use called FreightSeek.
Go to FreightSeek.com.au
This is a site where you just enter in what you want shipped, Sizes, Weights and pick up/drop off points.
Then there are a whole bunch of people on there who will quote on it - some are outrageously expensive, but some are dirt cheap.
The people quoting are not necessarily professional transporters. If someone just happens to be driving from Brisbane to Sydney, have a bit of spare room in the car/ute/trailer or whatever, and want a bit of extra money to pay for petrol, they will quote a decent price - you are under no obligation to accept any quotes at all if you don't want. Sometimes you get reeeeealy cheap prices.
Anyway, check them both out - Interparcel is very easy to use - and only big name professional couriers.
