tape machine transport form Tas to Melb

Postby mylesgm » Fri Feb 28, 2014 11:08 am

Anybody coming up from Tas capable of bringing a tape machine up with them? Gareth? Chris?

Alternatively, any suggestions for shipping? It's packed in a heavy duty road case so not really fragile transport but weighing in at around 20-25kg.

Thoughts?

what kind of machine is it to only weigh 25kgs in a case?
domestic check in limit is 32kgs… so you could literally just fly with it.

im not headed to tassie for a while though

for one well packed piece - id just as soon send it with a courier.

I've never had any issues with pack n send.
seems like a pretty good company who make an effort
for something like that - already in a case - i think thats probably as good a solution as any

Myles - I have an av tour & band recording session in april in hobart (but also visiting my family in launceston) so might be able to sort something out. That is hoping there's room in the van!!

Give me an email or buzz if you wanna chat more

Hey Myles - try Chris Bell Removals - in Hobart.
They do a Hob/Melb/Syd run weekly - very reasonable prices.
I can help out at the Tassie end drop off if its good.

Hey, Myles so it was you who bought that Otari! That looks like as clean a machine as you'll ever see, well done. I was interested in it but baulked at the shipping, but you'll find a way... maybe just take your car on the ferry next time you head down south!
