Freighting a CL9 lip kit from SYD to Darwin NEED ADVICE!

[nAYEE]

Hey guys i've never done freighting before so I was wondering if any of the experienced members on here could share some insight. I'm trying to freight a full lip kit for CL9 from Sydney to Darwin, just a few questions:

1) The correct approach is to bubble wrap then box it right? Do I stick it all together as one giant parcel or state it as 3-4 seperate boxes
2) What would be the best company to go about doing this/and is there any insurance?

Thanks guys!

Separate parcels for sure.
Bubboe wrap and box if u can find the right sizes.

Shipped a Prelude BB6 lipkit from Melbourne to Perth. Bubble wrapped all the skirts and lips individually. THen taped all skirts and lips together. then fill with newspaper and foam bits. Made a custom box for it.

$200 insured up to 350 or so with no excess. box dimensions 200x95x25cm. e-go.com.au (Mine was 200 cause I dropped it off at their depot and saved 25%, instead of them picking it up from me, since i'm never home)

ah that looks perfect! Now where could i find cardboard that big lying around? Btw, what do you put it under as a category when you go through quoting?

Bought it from a guy in my city but it was red so got it professionally painted to black!

nice work.. im looking at getting one for my CL9.

How much did it cost to paint?

Carton or flatpack.

That's two boxes put together.

I just stole cardboard from my mate.
