I recently bought a set of bars and a tarp for my ute off a bloke in New Plymouth,now to get them down here,i got the guy to get a price from a frieght company up there..$200+gst:gob: seems over the top but i have no idea really..anyone had something freighted/couriered that size..although an odd shape there really quite light,they stop at the top of the well-side..ie dont go down into deck so really not that big at all,anyone shed some light on if thats a fair price or not.......

They will be quoting on cubic measurements. It'll be done on the biggest dimensions (i.e. you will probably be paying for a lot of empty space).

Maybe you could call someone like biketranz... they carried some boxes of engine parts down with my bike... maybe they'll do the same without the bike...
