Default Getting car parts couriered

Hi guys i was just wondering if anybody knows a good company to get parts coureried from interstate (door to door service). I need to get a front end brought over from NSW to VIC. I have never gotten anything so large and heavy brought over so im not sure who to use.

If anyone can think of someone they used that was good and hopefully cheap to it would be great. Cheers

I would be thinking that a front end may "just" be slightly larger than a standard Chep/Loscam pallet.

You'll probably have to use packandsend.com.au as it will be difficult for you to find a courier company to move just one order.

But we make a damn good box though.

Good luck trying to get TNT to do a one off shipment for you.
