    Default Best current options for shipping drivers and fairway woods?

    I haven't posted a long club for a while now, but know Aus post are not keen on stuff over 105cms.

    What is the current cheapest / reliable method to courier?

    A few years ago it was Ego.

    Wanting to ship from Sydney to Melbourne

    Try Pack'N'Send, they use Couriers Please and are reasonably priced.
    Never had a problem with them.

    Interparcel, Transdirect, Pack & Send...not much difference between them all given they tend to give you Couriers Please as their least expensive option and delivery time is still pretty good.

    Case in point...shaft in transit to me from Wenz left Adelaide Tue and is on board for delivery today.

    Pay a little extra but no travelling to post and usually quicker delivery times.

    Good to hear it got to you before the weekend KJ

    I pretty much use Transdirect exclusively now. Rarely use Australia post, even for items that they will take. As KJ said, couriers please is usually the cheapest option and will often deliver overnight on the east coast. I sent Sydney to Perth with them once that went overnight too, but I think that was a bit lucky.

    Yes but the size/shape limits would preclude Golf Clubs from what I read. Max. box size seems to be 50 x 50.

    I've still had no issues with E-go.com.au, as long as you take the $1.10 insurance option and write details on the box (next to the con note). Should only be $15 and they'll collect from your door.

    I use Startrack a lot through my business and they have been great for many years. Funny thing is they will send a 1200mm long box but out source the destination delivery to a Aus post contractor for delivery.

    I'm sending something to Jazz, its gotta go about 35kms, we are now at day 7. Transdirect are an aggregator and the forwarding is done by Fastaway which amuses me.

    Thought my situation might have been an isolated one however a quick look at their Facebook page (horse bolted) is any number of stories with similar complaints.

    If these idiots were listed on the stock exchange I would be having a massive short go on their shares.

    If the buyer is a real top bloke and a true champion then I would happily fly to the other end of Australlia and hand deliver it.
