as above,
last opportunity for me to pick up some bumpers, freight seems to be fairly expensive, so giving it another shot after calling around many freight companys today.. ..
if anyone is coming up this way from there, or knows someone in the trade that could possibly get cheaper freight for 2 standard ek bumpers to auckland, please let me know.
Man your really clutching at straws tonight...
Just get someone to go there to SIMM, then find one of the Jaffa's/WSC to bring them up north ...
Makin Teh Crunkin threads since Saturday night. Oh noes
Seriously man, do you honestly think anybody would want two bumpers in the car with them? I know of one (perhaps two) carloads of people coming up from Invercargill for SIMM, and there is little to no chance that they will fit them in. Gore is about a 6-7 hour boring drive from Christchurch from memory, so it's not like somebody would just pop out for the day to pick them up free of charge.
Stop being a tight-arse and pay shipping, or think about things first and buy from somewhere where you can afford shipping from or can pick them up yourself.
'there is no patch for stupidity.'
my blog
I haven't purchased yet, im seeking options. its ridiculously priced to ship them from there to auckland! like i could buy another aftermarket bumper from MARKE and still have change, well actually seeing as hes doing a special on the BYS, i could buy two of those and have change left over!
if i can sort someone to bring them up, then ill look in to buying, but i haven't purchased anything yet or made confirmation.
and maybe i was more thinking there maybe a 'possibility' someone might be coming up that could fit them in?
why make a huge deal out of it, if you cant help then sweet, dont waste your energy telling me stuff i dont want to hear. its no big deal. if i cant get em up then, i wont buy, simple.
how is it being tight ass? the price is fairly costly to get it freighted by a company.
i know for a fact that anyone on the forum will look in to trying to get cheaper prices on things if they could, rather than paying full/retail.
They better not be maroon bumpers.
Friends > Cars
Living the dream
The price you would have to pay someone for their troubles you might as well pay shipping

yeah you know how long i've had that P.O.S bumper on for .. they're silver bumpers .. .. hence why Im pretty keen to get em .... seems only useless replies show up here.
Well i tried to be helpful, but clearly you dont want my help in 19 years..
No way i can fit half a bumper inside my DC2. Nor will Fre3k.
FFS
1 person on this forum lives on Gore..
Will they help you? No
Pay freight or piss off, if its better to buy from MarkE go buy them. Maybe your furniture removal mates can help you...
LOL
feel the love...
Give Jim Bob's freight a call. Their phone number is 5. Don't forget the area code, so in full it is (03) 5. Tell them I sent you.
Haha freak lol
What's so funny? There are only 12 phones in Gore... that's so you can count them on your fingers.
They're also on a "party line". That means if phone 12 is on a call, anyone ahead can pick up their phone and join the party.
Damn straight, freight isn't that expensive if you just ring around and ask, I just sent 32kg of tyres from Whakatane (We have 13 phones here, beat that Gore!) to Chch for around $90. Give Frieghtlines a call, kiss some ass and see what they can do. Hell I'll even give you their website: www.freightlines.co.nz
Tell them Linfox 61 told you to call them..........
offset, why are u still on this forum? 9/10 people hate you, you post the stupidest things that no one cares about, you have been banned/suspended 5+(?) times, u act like Mr. 'iknoweveryht.comthing', you lowball when u dont asked to be lowballed. I mean mate, if i were in ur shoes i would just leave and find a new hobby. Seriously, Think before u post.

lol you know you could just paint the maroon bumper silver eh? They have the technology to do that sorta thing now.
Actual lol followed by a little giggle and a fart, or:
the bumper i currently have atm, has a bit of damage on the underside.
hmmm, just to give you folks an idea - $361.** for freight on two bumpers, .. .. I thought that was pretty up there.
and spoon. thanks for stating the obvious. im not here to have a love affair. let the haters hate.
Who was that with, Mainfreight?
yeah that was through mainfreight. another company was cheaper, but i still thought it was pricey.
Thats not that bad. Mainfreight quoted me $205 to get 4 15" tyres (no rims) from mt manganui to chch. Way smaller and way less distance than you are going so I'd say thats okay..
Freight isint cheap, so if you cant afford dont come moan on here
What you need to remember is that as soon as you send anything across the Strait it gets gets expensive, combine that with the fact that you're having something sent from Gore all the way to Auckland and there's a relatively good reason that it's expensive. Not too mention that the likes of Mainfreight can't really be fucked with small jobs with normal customers such as yourself. The time and effort doing your job is probably more than would be required to pull up to a warehouse, put on a full load of palletised something (lets say bottle water), shut the curtains and go.
But that's just the way it works I guess, although I'm not overly knowledgable in freight as I more know about Timber and Logs etc.
