Kodachrome 146 Report post Posted September 21, 2022 Just got the call from them, $2200 to ship two front seats and the rear bench to Wellington, due to the size! I think at those prices buying seats in a drivable car would be an idea... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandit 187 Report post Posted September 21, 2022 Mainfreight for road transport, depot to depot. Or Toll with the rail system. You have to take to depot and put on a small pallet, then shrink wrap. Cheap as chips, well, it's all relative. The other option if the gearbox is less than 25kg use the TradeMe Book a Courier function. Easy to measure up and take quote off that. The Pack n Send quote above is a joke, they just don't want to do it 'cos its too hard 🙁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mainfreight quoted me just shy of $500 to ship a pair of front seats from Cromwell to Wellington, depot to depot, so add in the rear seat and im not that surprised. Its all about that volumetric weight. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vass 702 Report post Posted September 22, 2022 Could try your luck with the Find a Load FB group. Plenty of folks lugging stuff up and down the country, often with room to chuck some more stuff on board. Didn't end up going through with it at the time but found a fella willing to bring a pair of front seats from Auckland to Christchurch for $200 a while ago, as an example. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon dee 500 Report post Posted September 22, 2022 A few years back I used these guys to shift a set of wheels with tyres south to north. They did pickup and deliver door to door for the best price I could find, so worth checking out to see if they are still in business Cheers... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_glider01 1 Report post Posted September 23, 2022 Main freight would be your best option, as iv had years of experience sending and receiving stuff in the Hawkes bay area and they have always been the best option by far 👍 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
