reasonable shipping for wheels?

Post by jif » Tue Aug 05, 2014 11:25 pm

Hey guys, I'm aiming to move some wheels from Nelson to Auckland for a reasonable price.

Anyone know a decent option? First quote is $177 , depot to door... :p .. was expecting about half that, TBH.

Thanks in advance!

Broomfish put me on to a cheap auto pqrts mover. I think he name is A2Logistics. The guys name is Adam Waterhouse. Details in my old work Ipad so not on hand. Try a google search.

Will Mainfreight do it? They're pretty cheap in general...

When I got wheels sent up from Christchurch (to akl) it was far cheaper doing it through the post office in seperate boxes, cost about $60-80 for all four.

yep, going with a2logistics.  Mainfreight was the duff quote, tho I think the TM seller entered some bad numbers or something.

Surely.

I've had a full set come from the US via Kiwishipping (Mainfreight) to Invercargill and it was cheaper than that (excl. GST)!
