SandaZ 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) Hi all I'm in the process of purchasing some wheels & tires off a guy in Auckland and was wondering if anyone had shopped around as to the best price and service for getting large parts shipped around the country (to Wellingotn in this case). This will need to include any packaging etc. required at the AKLD end to protect them. Thanks. Edited February 4, 2008 by SandaZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 Oooooh what are they ? Any carrier should be able to do it. I got my Alpinas down here for 50 notes I seem to remember. The seller packed the up for me and stuck them on a pallet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wheels are 19" Hamann PG2s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 Ive used Mainfreight before, but the Alpinas were done by the guy in Auckland. What are you doing with your existing wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpp 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 I've sent wheels with tyres down to Wellington at $50 a wheel at Bullet Freight. It was depo to door, Akl to Wgn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SandaZ 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 Ok final update on this thread. I used Autoparts Express to ship the wheels (thanks Brent). They cost 20+GST per wheel making a total of $90 for the 4 from Auckland to Wellington. Great value. It took a couple of calls to get things sorted with them and they only ship from business to business (no private addresses). Thanks all for the suggestions. Much appreciated. Cheers.

XTCRacing 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2008 A bit late now, but I suggest for people to try www.courierconnect.co.nz The cost would have been under $90 as above, however they also allow residential to residential deliveries at no extra cost.
