I'm trying to find an affordable means of getting a 130 canopy and a big set of drawers from Melbourne to Brisbane.

I imagine it's very unlikely anyone from here will happen to be driving that route in a truck, but perhaps people have suggestions as to the best/cheapest way to accomplish this feat?

Road, Rail or Boat. I don't care how it gets here so long as it can get here....

Thoughts?

I have found e-go to be very reasonable in the past. Courier Company Australia: Interstate Parcel & Courier Delivery Services (https://www.e-go.com.au)

Cheers,

I've used them before but a canopy is a pretty big thing. I think the issue here is that they pretty much want something like that palletized which is certainly not something the average person is capable of doing.... and not something I'd ask someone to arrange...

Someone else suggested backloading with a removalist - BUT I suspect most of those are heading north load up with people coming here, rather that the other way around. So maybe not really possible.

Does anyone know of companies that specialise in booking / arranging backloading? I wouldn't know where to start...
