TNT is expensive in my estimation and this from chasing several quotes over the years for the freight of various items from various points in the country. I've always ended using other providers.

I now consistently use e-go which is an electronic front of door booking link into Hunters Express.

Last freight with them I recently had them collect a 135hp outboard on a cradle so about 200kgs a 2 metres long from an address west of Sydney delivered into their Danednong Depot from where I collected.

No damage, no issues and took about three days to appear if I recall rightly, freight cost was $82 but I added $50 worth of insurance just to be sure.

Same crowd quoted about $100 to ship a 60kg brute of a mulcher from the depot in Perth to Dandenong too last year.

Happens all over though, Oz Post managed to crush the top of a PVR I bought from Billy the Goose online days ago.

Fortunately Billy isn't such a Goose and I was emailed a AP prepaid return slip that facilitated the return of the PVR and I await it's hopefully undamaged replacement.

Sorry to hear about the damage though.
