[SIZE=3][COLOR=Black] I RECENTLY BOUGHT AU SERIES 2 XR8 SEATS FRONT AND BACK. THE PROBLEM BEING IS IM IN THE HUNTERVALLEY NSW, AND THE SEATS ARE IN BENDIGO VIC, APPRARENTLY SHIPPING WILL SET ME BACK NEARLY $600, I ONLY PAID $ 400. ITS STARTING TO ME RIGHT OFF. I REALLY REALLY WANT ME SEATS BEFORE I GO MAD. ANY SUGGESTIONS GUYS?

Try a removalist he would prolly pick em up on a run from melb.

I'm pretty sure TNT express can do it for less than 600 bucks.......used them before and they were ok....

[Kryton]

do some research before you go out and make such purchases.
seriously though, get on the net and look up Bendigo couriers or removalists etc.
have a look and see if they have a Star Track Express. ive used them here and it was so cheap it wasnt funny.

steer well clear of TNT as they are one of the biggest rip offs.

For How Mu$h Do Ya Reckon?

[nob92@]

Yeah Tried Star Trek, You Have To Have An Account With Em, Abn Number Etc And They Wont Pick Up From Private Address.

BUSFREIGHT - unless you can find a private owner/driver, thier seriousley the cheapest courier around the place.

Hell for $600, id drive up there from adelaide and bring them to you myself!

I used these guys once. No hassles either.

The post office can also do courier work.

I always check frieght when buying on ebay as it can be a killer for large items. But of course thats too late for you another option is hook up the trailer and drive there and back you can do it both ways in 2 days

Call me captain obvious... But for 600 bucks, you could take Friday off, drive down to bendigo and pick them up yourself... It wouldn't be more than $300 max for petty, surely, then that gives you a couple of hundred to play with for accomodation, even cheaper if you pack a swag... If you lay the back seats down in a sedan the front seats fit in the boot... and you could chuck your back seats on top...


My 2 cents anyway but even spending those freight costs without giving yourself a bit of a holiday is too much for me...

[Mondie]

Call www.vicfast.com.au, will not cost you anywhere near that and you dont need to have an account. Should cost less than $200.

We used to use star track through work and yes they're pricing is fantastic. Unfortunately it's at the epxense of lead times, service & traceability. Far too many times consignments went missing or they were extremely late.

/thats just my message signature. I found a stack of shineys under the back seats and carpets which paid for almost 1/4 of the car on its own :

thanx mondie im goin with vic fast.

[FGII-XR6]

how much did they charge ?

[Mondie]

Good to hear, they are a great company to deal with

Cheers

[nob92@]

$316 inc insurance.

[Robe]

Bendigo is a really nice place. Drive down and get the seats. Use the $$ to pay for a short holiday, feel happy about the dough left over. See what else the guy has for sale. Use the road trip to clean the cobwebs out of your donk.

I recently used Pack and Send and they're very reasonably priced and offered great service. They even pick up for free (obviously built into the price) and will package difficult items for you for an additional fee.
