OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Victa Walk-Behind Rotary Mowers Interstate Shipping?

Hi all and happy new year.
Excuse me if this not in correct area.
Was wondering if any of you could recommend an interstate shipper to move bulky items like edgers/lawnmowers and parts?
Any tips, clues, suggestions gladly appreciated.

John,

Here is a couple that might be of some help where you can get an online quote as long as you know the dimensions as well as weight.

1. http://www.smartsend.com.au/

2. http://www.rpmfreight.com/Sydney-Perth.html

3. http://www.couriersplease.com.au/

Let us know how you get on so that other members can see.

Yes, I would be interested to know who's good to deal with.


cheers gmax

Ok here is another courier that I have used in the past but we prefer Couriers Please.

Would any of these couriers be capable of moving a complete Rover/SB 45 from Sydney to Perth?

Also for reference, what is the weight of a 45?

Thanks, John

basso,

The weight is 70kgs and not that Rover is not making the model 45 cylinder mower any more. So if you can get one I would be holding onto it.

Thanks Bruce...its not that I have one and want to sell...its that I want to get one because of that very issue you raise.
The east coast has a much better range but unfortunately people seldom think about shipping to the west.
Can you recommend any places worth ringing to see what stock they have on hand? Its pretty well done and dusted over here.

John,

I will make a couple of calls to see if any of the shop owners I know have one on the floor.

Thanks Bruce.

Update on the shipping...cheapest is about $230 but mower has to be totally drained of fuel and oil and it has to be completely wrapped or boxed (or both if you wish).
