    Cost effective/reliable i'state transport

    Disclaimer;: I did try a search but did not come up with much relevant info.

    I have bought a 40 litre fridge and slide off a fellow AULRO member based up on the Gold Coast.
    He has very kindly taken it to one of our company offices up there.
    I would like to get it down to Melbourne but am in no real hurry for it.
    I have a post up in the AULRO courier section.
    In the meanwhile , if that does not come to fruition can anyone recommned a good , cost effective freight company.
    At the moment the slide and fridge are not necessarily joined together.
    I do realise that I may have to get someone to pack them up by wrapping in bubble wrap and maybe cardboard for a freight comp to pick up.
    The total weight would be around 40kgs.
    Alternately is there a place that would collect , package and freight down?
    I have contacted pack and send but they appear to be very expensive.

    Pete

    You'll have to get the sender to wrap it.

    I have found e-go to be the go, $17 to send an object of simalar size and weight as yours from BNE to SYD.

    Same again, E-go.com has worked well for me. In particular Depot to Depot.

    Pete,
    I just did an online quote with E-go based on the approximate size and weight of the fridge. If you can get it dropped in to a depot up there and you can pick up from a depot in either Dandenong, Campbellfield or CBD it would cost $25.49.
    Door to door would be approx $45-50.

    Cheers, Murray
