hi I've used pack & send a few times, talk to your local depot and they will give you a quote... I've just done depot to depot deals before, not too exxy...

If you want to look at the cheap end of the scale you could look at backloading, where you use the space in a removalist truck to send your gear. If you do a google search or check out Gumtree there's often people looking to put some extra gear in their trucks. I've done it a couple of times no worries-though admittedly not with a board.

Yeah depot-to-depot arrangements are cheapest and safest if the buyer is prepared to travel to the depot to pick up. I believe any damage done to boards is not on the interstate leg but rather, on the local courier where they often send inappropriate vans or small trucks and they drive like maniacs.

Antho,

THIS is the man.

A certain (SIC) collector here in Melbourne has been keeping him busy up and down the coast for a few months now...

He's slow, hopeless, and loses stuff.
Expensive too.
But you may need to come past the cave after his run this weekend..............................

Was kidding - Richard The Kayak Courier is brilliant - door to door service.
