Freighting wheels

[Paul B]

So I’m in Hobart and looking to send some wheels to Frankston. I have them packed and ready. Can someone advise me as to the most expedient manner in which to get them outa here. I will deliver them to,the freight depot. Any idea of cost?

It cost me $125 from down there to SEQ through Aus Post, 2yrs ago.

Damn.... that is steep. I’m going into the LBS tomorrow. Might ask them to send them.

Pack them in a round shape rather than a square one, otherwise they will potentially exceed the size limit. If you do so, and have a friendly post office you can get them Australia wide for around $30-$40.

What rangersac said. Post office can't do a cubed measure on a circular item

Yea thanks guys. I did a Aus Post search last night and found their online calculator. Had wheels already packed in the wheel box my Enve’s came in so the packaging was free Measured 65x66x30cm (AT) 7kg. $53 from Tas to Vic.
Pretty good I reckon.

Bloody hell, wish I hada known that back then but the bloke I got the wheels from did the packaging, it was also close to Christmas.

Sent them this morning...$51.90. The AUS Post guy weighed and measured the box and advised me that I was to pay $83.
*cough*. just as well for me that I am diligent in sussing these matters out ahead of time. A few words and the correction was made. No admission of an error was forthcoming but my bank balance didn’t take a hit
