Pickle me Grandmother!

Just tried sending a Vixen R200SS off with Pack N Send to NSW. Repacked, with insurance....

Wait for it...

Wait...


$230



Needless to say, Pack N Send don't get my money this fine day.

Trying to resize it now and send Aust Post, insured to the gunwhales!

Good luck! It might be a tight squeeze given Aus Post's maximum size constraints (105 cm length + 140 cm girth).

I reboxed it - the R200SS is a short guy. It came in at 90cm, with padding etc.

Aus Post get's the money. Will let all know how much in a little...

Done and dusted. 2 parcels, Australia Post, insured heavily - $85 registered post.

Hard to beat. Hopefully, they won't damage...

I have used this mob on several ocassions for all sorts of stuff from cameras to car parts and they are beaut. For large things, wheels, suspension etc, the Depot to Depot is brilliant and inexpensive.
