[ex-static]

What couriers freight services to you guys use to ship parts interstate?

I'm currently looking at getting a few things from someone interstate, and just chasing up my best possible options.

It will be from Sydney to melbourne by the way

Thanks.

Main companies I use are

- McPhees

- Startrac Express

- TNT Automotive

I freighted my last car from VIC to the ACT using TNT Auto and they were great. Cost me $260 and that included $50K worth of insurance and no excess.

If you can, freight things depot to depot. It will cost you a lot less than getting it sent to your home and you can have a look at the stuff before you pay for it to see if anything has happened during the transit.

Thanks for that, I'm actually shipping part of a bodykit, so it shouldnt be too bad, as it doesnt weight much.

Do they all do COD?

McPhees don't usually do COD unless they have an acoount with the people sending the goods. They also charge based on weight.

Startrac will do COD but charge based on size.

TNT charge based on size and weight and will do COD.

In my experience, I use TNT whenever I can. They have a specialist automotive freight section and have always been very good. You need to decide on the company based on what you are sending as well. For something like a body kit that is pretty big but not that heavy you want someone who charges on weight, but for stuff like engine parts and gearboxes you want someone who charges based on size.
