From Launceston to Cairns. I just spoke to my friend and he's been able to remove the useless steel backing plate which has cut the weight to well under 20Kg so it'll go via Post now.
**I second e-go. I just had a 40kg package shipped from Sydney to Cairns. It was slow (6 days), but it arrived safe and secure. Oh yeah, e-go are exceptionally competitive price-wise. Just don't expect instant service.
Australia Post is famous for damaging parcels with it's conveyor belts dropping parcels onto the ground and a 20kg cast iron chuck will fret through brown paper and twine in no time, not to mention getting damaged beyond repair the first time it get dropped on a jaw and smacks into the internal scroll plate.
So far Lathe chucks in wood boxes have survived with minimal damage via post even if some of the wood was splintered.
I'd mentioned in an earlier post that the sender has removed the steel adapter plate (unusable to me)at the back which has brought it under 20 kg.

Pack and Send's prices are completely unviable. I was quoted approx. $140 to send a 16 element UHF yagi from NSW to QLD. You'd probably be better off booking a return flight ticket and picking it up yourself!
