[p38arover]

Weiry is trying to get some tyres shipped for us and can't get any of the courier companies to do the job because none of us have business accounts.

Gents (I say that because there are two buying the tyres) I have been on the phone for the past 2hrs trying to get couriers out of Adelaide. First problem, long story short, is that no one will touch any of us because we are not sending through a business. I've tried to pay cash/eftpos this end, failed. Any help on this one they wont touch us. tried TNT/IPEC Couriers PLS, etc etc etc Help Help Help.


Has anyone any useful suggestions? The tyres would be be too big and heavy for bus freight.

What about a trucking removalist company, its got some name when they move to another state and you can get stuff moved back at a discount as they have to come back.

ring Pedemonts Transport in Chipping Norton ( sydney )and talk to Tony, very good from Adelaide to Sydney, they should send you an invoice, you pay the money, they ship the tyres...very easy

I recently had this problem with an automotive electrical supplier in Brisbane which company no longer does over the counter retail sales. They insist you open an account with them and have an ABN. It appears they now only do business with resellers and trade users.
