    Question Shipping an engine frm Auck to Chch

    I've found an engine suitable to replace my current one (it's thrown a spaz), but the problem isgetting it from Auck to Chch for areasonable price. Couriers don't seem to do anything over 25Kg. Has anyone got any suggestions for shipping companies that'll do something around the 50-60Kg mark without burning a hole the size of a meteor in my pocket?

    Thumbs up

    Well i got an engine sent from way down south to Thames,it came by a general carrying company,cost was not that much,about $50 and it was here in a week.
    It was sent straped an a plastic fish bin,and it seemed to be no trouble to have it delivered to my door.

    Try Mainfreight, they'regenerally pretty good
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    Need more info

    I might be able to help you out. Can you find out how it is packaged (preferebly strapped to a cut down pallet or similar and give me cubic measurement and weight. We use a pretty good freight company for national deliveries through work and it could be possible.

    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Sounds good - I'll have to look into it at the Auck end - I don't thinks its packaged in anyway at the moment. I'll see what I can organise. I'll be getting a whole lot of other goodies with it too (most of the electronics, carbs, exhaust, tacho/speedo etc ).

    You could try Scott haulage, they handle our inter island stuff that's over 30kgs. they are a SI company with pickup's in the NI.
    Speed limits are just a suggestion, like pants.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
