hi all,
had an opportunity to try out the following freight company:
e-go.com.au
some of you may have already heard about these guys, but for those that haven't, they make it very attractive price-wise to ship from depot to depot.
i had a need to ship a large item from victoria to mackay in queensland, and it only cost me $12 with insurance.
they have options where you can have any combination of door-to-door, depot-to-door or depot-to-depot.
by FAR the cheapest option is depot-to-depot.
they have depot locations all over australia, so in a lot of cases, all you need to do is get the item dropped off to the depot and be able to pick it up (or vice versa).
they have some restrictions on what can be sent, but no more than the usual...
no affiliation with the company at all, just a very happy customer.
