Ive looked into shipping.

My regular courier wont carry them as the size is a little too large.
I found another courier to do this.
Each way to Sydney is $40
melbourne $56
Adelaide $64

This gives you a  weight up to 40Kgs. So its possible to send 2 PF's for the price of one.

My way of thinking is to have ALL furniture removed and any drop target assemblies before shipping. This keeps the bulk size and quite a bit of weight down.

1 PF can be heavily wrapped in bubble wrap and then cardboard wrapped around it - TOP LOAD ONLY.

2 PF's would need custom box made. If you put them face to face with a towel or another protector in between. Wrap in bubble wrap and a lightweight box made from 3mm MDF and pine struts should see you OK.

BTW - this shipment goes on my card as i have to open an account. The return journey is actually slightly cheaper. I ring from my end, give address to pick up from and it arrives here. I then send back down when done.

Ill be ringing round to see if i can get a cheaper option this week, but at the moment, this is the only price ive been given.

Another option is to have it delivered to a depot, but id rather door to door
