Courier Companies

[Mickus]

Hey guys im after a good cheap reliable courier to get a spoiler sent over to me.

The spoiler is in Adelaide and I need it to get sent to me in Melbourne.

Ive delt with VicFast not that long ago and had a bad experience (eg they never picked up and delivered the item) so I intend to not use them again after that and need a new company.

Thanks in advance.

Couriers Please are fast quick and usually cheap.

Thanks man, just had a look at their site though...they seem to do a thing called coupon system which you have to purchase a minimum of each?

* Brisbane - $15 per coupon ex GST ( min purchase 5)
* Melbourne - $12.50 per coupon ex GST ( min purchase 5)
* Sydney - $11.00 per coupon ex GST ( min purchase 5)
* Adelaide - $7.50 per coupon ex GST ( min purchase 10)
* All Ezylinks are $3.00 ex GST ( min purchase 10 or 15 in Melbourne)

To send your parcel weighing 20.31kg from Blair Athol (5084) to Glen Waverley (3150) will need:
1 Metro coupon
4 EZYLink coupons
and will take 1 day

When youve used them did you have to have a coupon or can they do a one off job??

[Schmee]

also try packsend

the item can be dropped off or picked upby one of their stores....packaged then sent to a local store to you for pickup or even delivered to your door

used them a few times for interstate stuff....not the cheapest but not the dearest either

We have coupons at work and the customers who ask for there goods to go on couriers have coupons at there end. If your a company you tend to have coupons and at the end of the month they send you a bill.

AVOID!!! This courier company stole a friends gearbox. A $5000+ gearbox.

After the gearbox not turning up on the right day, Ivan called them the following day, but they claimed that the box had been delivered and signed for, and that there was nothing they could do. Some heated arguments with "superior" after "superior" and threats of legal action caused them to call back with a "sorry it wasn't delivered, but we don't know where it is". A few more phone calls, and two hours later it finally showed up, and there was the invoice complete with a forged signature (albeit now scribbled out).

"Errr, just sign next to that one..."

Fuckers.

Last time I needed something couriered I used these guys, who target the Ebay item market in particular:

http://www.smartsend.com.au/

It is not insured, however the cost was something like $30-40 compared to the ridiculous quotes of $150-250 I was getting from the mainstream customers. It was being sent to a relatively remote part of Tasmania.

Got a pretty good online quote of $28 from these guys although that was without a receipted delivery, WITH a receipted delivery was a crazy $42 so is this something I need do you think?

i work for australian air express part time, dont use them, i know how we treat the freight, dosnt matter how well you wrap it, we will wreck it somehow.

what company do you work for?

[Malakai]

AAE is just an arm of Australia Post that uses the unused passenger cargo space on domestic flights. They aren't too bad, but what do you expect from a courier company anyway? You would be lucky to find one high school graduate working at any courier company. (apart from management, even then they were probably promoted from within)

[CHEETR]

pack n send are by far the best i have ever used!

+1 for SmartSend. Got heads from WA, delivered within a couple of days, wasnt too badly priced either.

im a high school graduate... the shift i do has a few uni students and simlar on it. bit of a boys club though, you dont get chances to progress unless your mates with the bosses, and i hate brown nosers, needless to say i wont go any further there lol. easy money though for a part time job.
