Cheap Shipping

I hope this hasn't been covered lately (I did run a search and couldn't find anything)

Anyway I am looking at shipping something large/heavy like a gearbox in the near future. I was wondering what company would be the cheapest?

I will be ringing around but just wanted to know if anyone knew of somewhere that transports heavy stuff like a gearbox reasonably cheap.

(Oh from Levin or Wellington if that makes a difference)

Cheers in advance

Re: Cheap Shipping

Mainfreight or Toll Translink are generally the ones to go with.

Re: Cheap Shipping

Surely it would be cheaper to just drive it down there....

^ He said from Levin or Wellington, not Levin to Wellington.

Mainfreight would be my best guess.

Re: Cheap Shipping

Commonly people use mainfreight or Peter bakers, but personally ive never dealt with them so im not sure.

Where bouts is the destination? i'd also post up to see if anyones going from where you are to the destination, maybe could fit a G/box in the boot or something. Could workout cheaper for you,(theres alot of people on here that do roadtrips)

Re: Cheap Shipping

If you know some one with an account, PBT can be pretty good as well.

Re: Cheap Shipping

Re: Cheap Shipping

Destination is unknown as nobody has actually brought it yet. But a guy from Gisborne was asking so I wanted to see what people thought before I started calling around.

Cheers guys!!!
