Hi Simo at this stage we only operate between the major cities.
I have personally used pack and send to ship a motor and found them to be good.
Cheers Rob

Most 2T dirtbike motors are light enough to send through Auspost. Worst case is that you might have to take the top end and flywheel off and send it in two packages.
Not as cheap as they once were, but still cheaper than most courier companies.

Cheers Rob. I packaged it up and lugged it down to the Pack n Send depot for a quote.  Wow, $200 to ship this  42kg motor from here to Oakwood ... no thanks :)

Lots of stories about stuff going missing with ego. I've used them a few times without any serious drama, but you wouldn't use them for something that's irreplacable.

And if you use their insurance, check their conditions carefully... I got some RM400 stuff sent down from Townsville through them. Package was overdue, but I had to file a claim within seven days of the date it was due... On the 7th day, I began the process of lodging a claim, and then suddenly it arrived... Would have been very easy for me to have missed the invisible deadline and been denied a claim....

Ego were great when they started took a nose dive about 12 months after. Would never ever use them again after the hassles I had. As Nathan said the insurance is not worth a knob of goat shit

Ive been in the Transport game for over 30 years . There are cheap and nasty and there is pay a decent price and get a good service .There is no cheap and decent service . Most of my work has been sensitive freight (CAT scanners , MRI , Xray photocopiers  ) you would not believe how companies try to talk you down when you moving a $2mil machine .
