freighting mag wheels

Post by AndrewT » Thu Aug 02, 2007 8:45 pm

Anybody ever organised shipping of mag wheels?

I've bought a set of 4 from a guy in Sydney and I need to get them to Perth. Any particular freight companys you'd recommend? Maybe an approximate price if you've done it before?

Anybody have a buddy driving accross from Sydney hehe :P


cheers.

Yeah, these guys were good.. I got my 4 superlites from WA for $96.
Probably looking at around $150 for NSW to WA if you get them picked up and delivered. I think they charge $14 for pickup or delivery.

LOL good work buddy.
Toyota 105 Series LandCruiser (that nobody on here wants to really hear about).
RX Touring Wagon - fitted out for 4WDing (currently collecting dust).
RX Project - will be road only at this stage (and currently taking way to long to finish).

Ouch, thats a bugga. Sorry to hear.
On a nicer note, my superlites were just stuck in boxes with a little bit of newspaper packing and they came out fine.
