Reasonable Interstate Bike Freight

[HORSPWR]

Anyone have any recommendations for reasonable bike freight providers (boxed) within Australia from state to state?

I hear that Bikeflights is one of the most reasonable ways to ship a bike within the US. You might see if they operate in Oz.

No they don't appear to.

I though Australia was the same size as the state of Texas, so why cant you just deliver them yourself?

Few years back I used Greyhound Freight Au, to get bike from QLD to NSW regional, price was reasonable.

Also used TNT (we have business account) it was very cheap. Not sure if they deal outside business environment.

Texas would fit inside Western Australia twice and about ten times in the whole country

Australia is about 5 times bigger than Alaska.
Alaska is approximately 1,481,348 sq km, while Australia is approximately 7,741,220 sq km, making Australia 423% larger than Alaska. Meanwhile, the population of Alaska is ~710,231 people (22.5 million more people live in Australia).

I investigated interstate bike transport ..

Ranges of $200 to $250 per bike for frieght. Transfer/transport insurance to cover loss or damages $220-$260 per bike.

Fortunately a friend of a friend was returning in furniture truck and added it as a backload favour.

Smart Send seem to be the most reasonable and they use TNT which they will collect from your door or you can drop off at the depot.
Pack n Send have ridiculous prices and you have to drop off at a PnS outlet, many smaller towns don't have one but do have a TNT office.

Hey Buddy, got an emtb delivered from Alice to Darwin for $150 by Northline. Also sent auto parts to Melbourne with them so deliver Australia wide. Very competitive rates ATM.

Thanks for this, do you know if you need to have an account with them?

No. If you have any issues give Smith St Velo a call. They've used Northline before.

I went with Smart Send, very reasonably priced. $165 from Alice to NSW, they also have 15% off if you put in your ebay user ID and pick up door to door.

I feel sick. I recently had a bike shipped from VIC to WA, many companies would not quote, with PackandSend being the only option.
$890. Yes, nearly $900.

No, not your only option. See my post above for Smart Send, dirt cheap and fast, they use TNT, they don't even need to quote, all you do is fill out all the details online and they pick it up.

$ 250 WA to Qld .
TruckIt.net - Australias internet marketplace for moving stuff!

Picked up by a Perth courier - TNT delivered to my door .

Sportscorp picked up an eBike from country Victoria and took it to Adelaide for $89.
Whatever deal they have with the couriers is impressive.
