cassy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi there, wondering if anyone can suggest the cheapest way to send a mechanic's tool box to Brisbane? It weigh's approx 300kg and measure's 2mx1.5mx1.5m. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 How quickly do you need it? Sea is cheaper and it is costed by volume not weight but could take 3 months. If you want to send it by air the cheapest option would be a freight forwarder - just do a Google search for your area. You will have to collect it yourself from the airport and clear customs yourself but it is much cheaper than the 'excess baggage' type companies. I assume you are aware that the tools will need to be scrupulously clean to clear customs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Are you looking to ship Perth to Brisbane or Uk to Brisbane, the location on your profile says Perth? Does the box separate as in - top box and bottom box? Does it have castors on ? Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calNgary Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Shippers normally work off weight, so as a full unit i think it would be too heavy. If it can split or be emptied he shouldn't have a problem. We took the tools and re packed them in cheapy plastic tool boxes once washed and that way worked well. If it locks make sure a key is taped to the top so customs can check inside to see if its clean. Hope this helps a bit Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
