If you pay for my ticket to Perth, I'll ride it back for ya!

Get a full bike crate from a bike shop strap it in good, box it up and send it normal freight, I had a bike delivered this way from Syd to Adelaide for $400 I think.

No different than how they come into the country.

yep probably work out cheaper as jonno says,the tpt company will generally charge you for 2 pallet spaces and can work out cheaper than a bike transporter,sometimes furniture removalist are the go ,ring around and somtimes you will find one thats got room or coming back empty,just depends if your trying to save a buck and have time to fuck around

cheers tim for the websites much appreciated will shoot them off emails and see where i stand.
thanks for the replies makes it easier to get something sorted

[philbo]

hey tim those websites were so easy to use thanks heaps for them hopefully its not overly expensive

[mick_dundee]

Not gonna be cheap, Perth is a fair ways away, let us know how you go.

[philbo]

actually cheaper then i thought. $800 door to door

[philbo]

so if your bike was given an address to be dropped off at, and they make a time that doesnt suit the person that its getting dropped off to, would you be pissed if the deliverer told you they were going to drop it off to a bike shop in blacktown and you know no one there. would you be pissed/fuming?

[fireyrob]

ar yes v pissed off! Can get them to drop it off at my place
