yuk thats going to be horrible to transport.

wont fit on a pallet, will cube out to big volume.

mainfreight run items all over and are pretty competitive.

but your best bet will be to find someone who has an empty trailer heading south, cause most freight companies probably wont want the hassle of that.

Or charge a lot because of the space it will take up.

Would probably be cheaper to make one :?

ha ha yeah, but t5hats alot of work :lol: and it looks :cool:.

Have a look on outer freight service in the chit chat section.

also talk to car carriers

back load web sites, but you will need the seller to give you accurate packed dimensions.

pm i might be able to help with a guy who backloads

I would think it would work out cheaper (less m3), to have the 3 sections though make it left side, right side and roof. and cut the bottom windscreen brace off if it has one, cant tell in that photo. It will be longer but then it can be strapped to walls etc, better yet make a makeshift container so a forklift can move it easily.

Try some of the smaller companies, see if you can back load it, it might work out cheaper for ya.

Or see if anyone is travelling past those areas might be able to get it moved for a few cartons.

just read the post, already has been said.

it would need to be roof, sides and front so its more or less flat pack to be easiest, but tyo give you a guess I would think most courier compnies will charge 3 - 400 for a 1 off shipment newy to melbourne for that size, bit cheaper if it was from sydney instead of newy. cause even in 3 or 4 parts it will be say 1.5 x 2m x 0.5m = 375kg cubic weight on mainfreight which through my mainfreight prces is about $250, and i have an account.
