I have rang Airoad and they quoted me $140 - $160 to transport it from Port Macquarie to Melbourne (door to door).

Thats odd, i used there website to creat an account and book the freight. You can also get an online quote there. My consignment was 5 boxes about 65kg in total with a cubic weight of 48Kg. Possibly due to the larger boxes of the Meade your cubic weight may be more.

Try this site http://www.airroaddirect.com.au/airroad/home.sok
There seems to be two Airroad sites perhaps for different types of customers.

If you want pm me with your dimensions and weight and i will get a quote for you with my registered account.

When I try to get a price from that site I get:

"UNFORTUNATELY YOU WILL NEED TO CALL AIRROAD DIRECT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM ON 1300 555 450 TO DISCUSS A PICKUP FROM THIS AREA."

Ok I checked it and you are right if you put a regional post code in you get that message. If you put pickup from 2000 (Sydney) it then goes tot he next page for dimensions. I think that is perhaps the reason for the extra cost they quoted you. As mine was from metro to metro perhaps this is priced at a lower rate. And I would guess they subcontract pickups and drops in regional areas to other companies making the cost higher perhaps. By the way the number given was it the same one you called.

Fahim

No it was not, I rang 1300 227824 and spoke to a lady who put me through to the sale department.

To answer a few questions I keep getting in P.M's:

1. Yes the scope is still for sale.

2. No I will not split up the package, I wish to sell it complete.

Phew! 29 post on a for sale item - by far the record-holder!

Congrats on getting there!
