how to ship a motor

[kenni.nguyen]

Hi everyone, i was wondering how i would go about shipping a motor from sydney's inner western suburbs to a rural town such as orange? How would i go around organising a courier for such a thing

Try these guys http://www.packsend.com.au/

They are like a broker for couriers awesome stuff considering that the main bulky couriers only accommodate business to business transactions. get a pallet, strap it on and when you get a quote from them measure the dimensions, weight it and ask for a pallet jack at pick up and delivery if required.

go find a pallet somewhere and buy a 500m roll of glad wrap, put the motor onto the pallet.
tie it down with something like some coat hangers, and then wrap it up and then book your courier service ! :D

Good advice from Zco, or if it is going to Orange, which isnt that far, organise a ute and meet the buyer half way, only take you 1.5 hrs each?
