Title: Anyone in Perth know a good freight company ?
Post by: Frank70 on February 27, 2009, 02:10:33 pm

Looking for a quote to ship a short block from Perth to Melb.
Toll Ipec quoted $500 which seems a bit steep to me.

Anyone have someone they used that reliable and reasonably priced ?

Thanks,
Frank.

Hi Frank
Maybe try TNT roadfreight? ph 131150
We use them at work as they are pretty reliable and their prices are reasonable.They should be able to give you a quote.

I have vague recollections of a website that 4wd guys use to offer freight carrying in their 4wds from point to point.
  Would have to do some serious googling to find the site again.

Stuie, that is Freight Management. I use them a few times a month, moving stuff around the place.


www.freightmanagement.com.au for a quote

Get the block strapped down to a pallet, cut the pallet down, so it is the same size. You pay for the size of the item, as well as the weight. Concrete Pavers come on nice small skids, which would suit.

Not sure that was them as this was individuals offering up space in their personal vehicles for a fee.
 I do like the looks of the company you have recommended though and will give them a go.
Cheers
