TNT seems to be the go for this type of freight.

I've had blocks from Melbourne to Newcastle sent for $40.00, and I had a pallet of block, cranks and heads sent from SA for $200.00. Pretty cheap I recon.

Just make sure that there is loading and unloading facilities, or have it taken to a depo for loading and then pick it it from the depo at your end. You'll need to ring TNT to find out where their depo's are, as they keep them 'secret' for some stupid reason.

It cost me $200-$250 to get a full subframe, brake and engine assembly on a pallet from Adelaide.

Sean , if you end up using TNT they have a depot in Laverton and its open for direct pickups til 8pm, its a bugger of a problem trying to organize a re-delivery if your working so I,m quite happy to use TNT as I know I get the parcel/ box whenever I want rather than waiting.
