Best shipping option from Auckland to Wellington?

**netsky** · 2nd December 2014, 15:37

Hi team

Just wondering who would be your recommendation to use a shipping company to ship a Yamaha Scorpio from Auckland to Wellington.
I have been quoted $295 from a trademe service provider, does anyone have any advice on who (not) to use?

Kind regards,

Carl.

Biketranz. I've used them about the same number of times. they are excellent.

Good suggestion....
I might be looking at getting a bike from CHC in the new year...The price one way from AKL is $69! The only bugger is it is a late flight and I have to
get to the big smoke! Worth it though...

I recently used Motorcycle Movers Tirau to ship a bike from Auckland to Christchurch. They were the cheapest quote I got and charged no more for the extra boxes that came with the bike. They picked the bike up on a Sunday afternoon and it was at my door on the Wednesday. I wouldnt hesitate to use them again.

Same with BT I sent a box of parts no extra charge with one bike.

Don't count on the price staying low.

Last night, airfare to shakey town was $179 (inc bag) early flight Friday. Tonight it was more like $219

Yeah, didn't even mention that happy chestnut. Catching the 0610 flight (first flight and cheapest until night). Yesterday, $169 for a seat. Flight 40min later, $269. About an hour after that, $354.

But from yesterday to today, the $169 price went to $199

When a client flies me down to Shakey Town for a job, the day costs $700 in flights alone.
