Hi all,
Every where I look there are spiders...
$70 or £40 is the cheapest I can find...Single spiders 8-12 weeks old.
Or a parcel of spiders 60cm x 50cm x50cm is about $300 but I'd probably get maybe 5 or more spiders in there
And thats 2-3 days of egg laying.
How much are kiwi's.....nuts

Hi all,
Every where I look for a cheaper postage option ends up more expensive than Auspost :-(
$70 or £40 is the cheapest I can find single package 8-12 weeks.
Didn't http://www.discountfreight.com.au/ have a bargain rate for a big box you could get 8-10 into?

Hi all,

Called a few discount freight places today, they are all mobile phone contact only and frankly they are all dodgy brothers.....
I talked to a work associate today who freights antiques and fine art he suggested I only use a reputable carrier, he gave me his contact in FedEx so.......
For a package 60cm x 60cm x 30cm which will hold at least 6 sets and will weigh approx 18kg
$491.00 (3days). Approx $82.00 (£45) each for six or approx $62.00 (£35) each for eight
So if we get some numbers together and nominate a name and address for delivery in the UK and work out if there will be any costs on arrival such as customs duty??? Etc.

PM me for more info

Cheers
Adam

Pretty happy with them, engine bay still needs a bit of tiding up but it's getting there.

Most shippers use cubic weight, weight x size so if you can work out a way to pack the rocker covers in as compact a way as possible (without damaging them) then you should be able to minimise final shipping cost.
