I am looking at sending a second hand fuel tank in the mail? Courier or can Aust post do it?
Cheers Brad

some couriers work on weight some on volume cubic capacity ,post work on weight and volume OR if it will fit in a post bag good luck i was quoted $250.00 to ship a fibreglass model boat hull to TAS twice the price of the hull.

Are there fuel vapours in it?

If there are its classed as a dangerous good and the post office wont take it, couriers may though.

If its came off the boat with Noah it will be ok and I wouldnt mention what it is and use aus post

I had one sent to me a few yrs ago via aus post.

I had one sent to me via e-go no problems and depot to depot was cheaper than Aus Post.

Wash it out good, tape all the openings then put it in a HD plastic bag if it is smelly and tape it up, then put it all in a cardboard carton. The cost will be calculated on the size of the box whoever ships it, not the actual weight. Mine was just listed as 'tank'.

For e-go out of Adelaide depot to depot, you need to drop it down to the Hunter Express office at Kidman Park.

OK, just looked back on my emails.... it was Jan 2015 and e-go was about half the price of Aus Post.

The weight was listed as 6kg packaged and the box was about 550x550x400mm.

Cost was $25.08 from Villawood NSW to Adelaide, depot to depot.

Thanks guys.
Its been empty for years. Looks like e-go or pack and send are the way to go. Aust post were $70.
Cheers

I sent something via ego yesterday in a cardboard box. For some reason listing it as "car parts" was $15 more expensive than a "parcel" , so check both the prices...

e-go is the way to go. Depot to depot.

I bought an aircon kit and depot to depot was massively cheaper than aus post.

I have used them a number of times

Pack and Send has always been right up there with Aus Post cost wise, and often more when I have enquired.

They were something like a couple of hundred to get a bike from Victoria to Adelaide, which came through e-go for $24... $12 of which was insurance! e-go have got more expensive, but still beat everyone else for cost.

I needed to send a fuel tank out of a Jensen cv8 from Sydney to Hobart, it was empty and vapour free. I bought a roll of bubble wrap from office works and wrapped it up with packing tape - sent it vie e-go and it was really cheap. I would highly recommend them.
