Shipping pocket bikes?

[minimotorider]

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with shipping pocket bikes?
Any companies and quotes so far?
Thanks

depends on where u sending the bike. i think its roughly $100 through australia post. could be wrong tho. but i dont think they will send the tank if its had fuel in it.
probably doesnt help but anywayz.

Ah thats not so bad.
Is that based on weight or overal size?

[smokincag]

not 100% sure. but its based on a brand new cag in the box. to pretty much any major city in oz.

packandsend.com.au - They pack and send anything

Should cost under $100 dollars and they pack it for you

Box, padding, bubble wrap etc.

sounds like a better option as i wouldnt trust the post to much. especially with delicate things.
ive worked in freight handling and have experienced the "who gives a shit" attitude first hand.

hope im not offending any posties out there.

try contact a few bus company's
we used to get alot large boxes & parcels shipped from SA & VIC via bus as they worked out alot cheaper than most transport company's

anything around the size of a large suitcase was fine,if the bike is a used bike be sure to drain all fuel from the carb & tank, flush the tank with warm soapy water so no petrol smell is present

yep pack send where who i used i think. i packed it up myself (the push bike shops give you the boxes for free) and they charged me $80 to send a cag up to queensland.

very happy with how they handled everything too. i couldnt find anything easier or cheaper
