Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Okay I'll say right out I'm absolutely clueless on this.

But basically I want a price to send a Swift gearbox from here to over east.

Probably one off and this would just be a private thing if that makes a difference...

So what are some good companies to get a quote from ?

Also, I guess you'd have to pack it up yourself ?

Do you stick in in a crate or something ? lol.

Pack it yourself.
It will almost halve the cost if you drop it to a transport company depot and it gets picked up at the other end. The short trips will cost as much as the line haul.
A gearbox, maybe get a small skid or crate so it can be loaded and unloaded with a forklift. This speeds things up for them.
Make sure it is clean and not leaking anything.

Hi Trans

Other people might be able to suggest other companies, but some of the large ones (Toll, Startrack) may or will not deal with a one off job, or price it so you don't use them.

Sadliears (spelling????), is a dedicated east-west shipping company I know of.

smartsend.com.au

I don't know how competitive the pricing is, but I really like how it is nice and easy to get quotes!

How heavy is the gearbox?

would it be cheaper for buyer to just get one over here?

I can highly, highly recommend www.freightmanagement.com.au - speak to Daniel, he's a fellow 4x4er and I couldn't believe how cheap he was to use to ship from NSW to Vic. Definitely worth chatting to.

If you're lazy, try pack n send. I didn't have any luck with a freight company willing to do a private job (startrack express, TNT etc all wanted an ABN or account - maybe i sounded like too much of a n00b) when i was sending a winch from melbourne to broken hill. With pack n send i just dropped the winch off at the shop, they packed it up (wired it to a skid) and organized freight. Cost wasn't alot more than what freight calculators were telling me. It's more of a domestic service (ebay type stuff), but it works - might just have to clean it up a bit for them.

True, he's after a low k one but.

I mean I'd personally rather sell it local but might as well get a freight price and if he's happy to pay it, I'm happy for him to take it off my hands.

Seriously. Ring Daniel or get a quote from their website. Door to door, cheap as and you can pay by bank deposit.

grab a pallet chucked out somewhere, strap it down and ring northlines freight for quote.

done it a few times to over east selling vitara parts
