    Need to send a large but light item (dash top) which is 130cm long by 60cm wide by10cm. Too big for Australia Post... couriers are too expensive that I have found. Any suggestions?
    Component value is about $80.

    Ive sent some big items down south for average $35 and $50 for the REAL heavy stuff. :):)

    Take it down to the bus depot and get a quote man. :):)

    Hi,

    Try e-go.com.au

    I got a quote on that package size at 5kgs, Sydney to Melbourne for $16.90. I have used them before with no dramas. The package would need to be wrapped.

    Cheers

    I am in the same boat. hahahaha

    I have some unwanted Countach bits such as

    1. Front Lower Spolier
    2. Front Bumper
    3. Rear Fibreglass cover (psuedo rear bumper)

    which i removed from the Countach to bring it back to genuine Eurospec.

    Want to sell them on ebay etc. mostly will be snapped up overseas, but can't find a way to ship them cheaply.

    Such a pity for such rare items to go to waste, just because of our distance from the rest of the world.

    Any ideas?

    Yep. :D:D

    Now I think about it. Rail will probably be cheaper again, but may take a tad bit longer. :D:D
