This is relatively inexpensive & a very cost effective way of purchasing items without the hassle of driving to collect them yourself, especially if you are interstate. I recommend using Fastway couriers as they are door to door & up to 20kg per box. As a rough guide prices are as follows- Victoria: Melbourne down to Mornington, Kyneton to Echuca, Beechworth to Wagga Wagga $16, west of Apollo bay but south of Hamilton $25, Rest of state $25 NSW: South as far as Sydney $22, North to Brisbane $30, rest of State up to $50. Queensland: Up to Brisbane $30, North to Cairns $50+, Cairns $45 Perth: from $45 but will not cover around the state. An individual quote will be required. Tasmania: $25 All other States $60+
Some delivery areas, especially country & if it is oversize this cost can be greater, so to be sure of exact cost, please ask me to get a quote. I will use Australia post for the smaller & lighter items where their costs are lower than Aramex (formerly Fastway). Be aware that postage for heavier items is a lot more expensive so if you live at the opposite ends of Australia from Victoria, postage will be expensive so you may want me to give you a rough quote before considering to bid on a an item.
For a standard chest of drawers for example, Local deliveries in Geelong area are around $55 for 1 item & gradually increasing from there but it works out cheaper per item. Melbourne CBD or suburbs on this side of the bay will start from $110 for 1 item & again the cost will gradually increase> we can obtain quotes for you in advance. For much larger items i.e. large wardrobe, the costs are roughly double. For items to be sent interstate as a rough guide, for Canberra, Sydney & up to Brisbane, costs are from $250 to $300 per item & $100 per additional item, within city limits. Extra charges apply if north of Brisbane or west of Sydney. Perth is $300+, Adelaide $250. Country areas are too hard to generalize & will need an individual calculation. Please ask for a quote beforehand to confirm.
I usually use Australia Post & costs vary considerably between countries, method of delivery & size & weight of items. Small items packed in bubble wrap bags are very inexpensive & will cost between $10-30. Parcels are more expensive but cost less if you require standard airfare that takes at least 7 days with no extra frills inc no tracking. To best find out costs please visit Australia post at http://auspost.com.au/apps/postage-calculator.html. This is a postage calculator where you can accurately see your options & determine for yourself how much you have to pay. For fragile items such as ceramics & glass, they may need double packing & this will add extra to the weight. To find the weight of the item please contact me & I will let you know. I recommend using Standar Post International as it will be given a tracking number which is useful in case of loss or delays.
We charge we a flat rate of $22 per box/package. Items that are exceptionally large or fragile that need specialist off-site services will be charged accordingly.
For an accurate cost on any of these estimates above, please ask for a quote so there are no surprises!!
