joele Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi All, I have read most of the pages of this thread and contiunally see prices quoted around the $250-$400 mark. I just got quoted $764 to transport my pin (TAF) from ipswich to sydney, door to door. Have I just been reading old posts or is that just what is costs now? (pin has to be palleted at pick up and delivered to my appartment on the first floor, so 2 flights of stairs) I know thats only one quote but I don't hold out much hope of any of the others being that much cheaper. Try Air Road Direct (I think fragile or specialty items division), I paid $450 door to door from sydney to melbourne a year ago, and no wrapping required, they did everything... Was VERY well wrapped by the way when I got it, still using up all the bubble wrap: Was on a pallet with about a foot of bubble wrap all around it.. They also had two people at each end and lift gate so we didn't need to help load/unload.. P.S. Not sure what the stairs at the end would do to the price, nothing good I would imagine, probably a big part of the cost.. Mine just went in the garage..

This is the difficulty as it depends on the areas serviced by the couriers.I can get Brisbane Door to Sydney depot for $150 because it's his usual route. Wrapped by sender but carefully blanketed by courier if sender can't wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowler Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) I'm definitely going to Melbourne via Sydney/Wollongong mid/late May. So if you want something picked up or delivered send me a PM. The date I'll be leaving Brisbane is the 29/30 of May. Will be going to Melbourne for sure. Edited May 7, 2014 by prowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITmonkey Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hi all, Although all the general tips and company names above are very useful, I wanted to quickly check whether anyone had any specific experience shipping a pin from Brisbane to Canberra? I will start calling around tomorrow. I note that some companies are considerably cheaper for the high-volume routes between the major capitals, but I wanted to find someone good and not too pricey that will serve the ACT. Any tips appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowler Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I can/will deliver to Canberra but I can't this trip as I'm full leaving Brisbane. I do a run every month if you want to keep that in mind for future pick up/deliveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixthadog Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Does anybody know how much it would cost (approx) to ship a bare playfield from Sunshine Coast to Melbourne?

Can anybody recommended a company that would do it? Cheers, Matthew I used e-go to get my pinbot playfield from Nick in QLD. He dropped it at the depot and I had it delivered to my office here in Victoria. Total cost was $25 which included some insurance. John (Prowler) can also do playfields - so contact him too for options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampy76 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 G'day all. Any recommendations on shipping a pinball (wrapped, and strapped to a Pallet) from Canberra to Adelaide? Wont use E-go, BHF or Cope Transport. All too expensive!!! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursed Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I could be wrong here but if you find E-go expensive, you will have no hope of finding anything cheaper.....bar getting mates rates from someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
