Anyone using 1 off couriers for equipment over 20kilo to Interstate - from Sydney?

Can't say it was over 20kg's but I had an Arp Odyssey couriered from Sydney to Tas.

The rate was quite reasonable compared to most really, 39 bucks I think it was, though you can get a quote from the site if you put in the relevant info.

I used these guys (more than once by the way), had no trouble - would recommend them entirely.

packsend is also good. Recently sent two consoles via them to brisbane, very well packed and shipped very quickly too. Good prices and they'll pick up or you can drop it off to them for a reduction in cost.

Actually, thats another reason I went for Smartsend, they offer a door to door pickup and delivery. Just don't have time to go to depots and stuff around working out when it was supposed to arrive and having to go back later 'cause it's still not there.

Have heard people recomend Pack 'n Send but I think Smart Send turned out to be more competitive pricewise (and still offer a top notch service by the way).
