e-go are great, you won't find cheaper IMO.
I have sent stuff and received it a few times, never a problem.

eg a complete 1275 head Cairns to Sydney, for $30, Australia Post wanted $75...

I've used e-go a few times and never had problems. If you can go depot-depot it is much cheaper than them picking it up from your house and delivering to the final address

Drat.

Just had an engine freighted down today from Brisbane. I used Smart Send and paid 25 dollars more than I should have! E-Go quoted 75 and I just paid 100 to the others..

Oh well...

An ausmini member sent a complete 1255LS & box Sydney to Melbourne last month, e-go's freight was around $70.
That was depot to depot, easier to load/unload.
