Hi All,

Anyone got any ideas on how to get it over there?

Just trying to help the buyer out.

Michael

try ringing a few of the independant transport companies as some times they are looking for a back fill on a truck and they may have room for a pallet with a mini strapped on, or have you tried the railways, just a thought.. :wink: :wink:

extra $400 is cheap, i got quoted $2800 in shipping charges if i want to take my van back to QLD as a rolling shell. Alice is one damn expensive place to get out of.
