Travel Bag Shipping

[AndyP]

I found a travel bag that I like, but unfortunately it is in a town two hours outside of Melbourne, and I want to get it to me in Brisbane. I may have to concede defeat and wait for another to come along, but what would be the best way to ship this. The current quote from Australia Post is $95, which is too much.

It is from a town near Warragul, which seems to eliminate some of the couriers from picking it up.

What town?

Nilma. There are no interesting facts about it on Wikipedia.

Dimensions of approximately 550mm wide, 500 deep, 270 high. I tried a few websites and it looks like I'll have to concede. The bag is a good price, but $90 adds too much.

Tried e-go or Sendle?

I had a look at Sendle, but you had to create an account. I will have a look at e-go. They are travelling to Melbourne on Friday, so rates may be more reasonable there.

The e-go site is a bit of a mess. It is definitely more affordable, if they can take it to a depot (<$30), but $70 door to door.
Sendle won't pick up from their location, but if they get it to a Melbourne drop-off spot, it would be $31.

Both are much more reasonable.
