Which Freight Companies for heavier astro-gear?

I have been simplifying my astro-gear, as everybody has probably noticed. I have been sending items by Aust Post, but am now looking at heavier items, particularly OTAs and mounts. I do not have boxes for some of these.

Can I have suggestions (or tips) on which companies to use for freighting? I favour both mine and the buyer's convenience over the outright cheapest rates.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Just be careful about the insurance exclusions of some companies - you might need to pay significantly extra to cover "glass".
