Re: Ego couriers - quotes for pinball shipping

I'm looking to get a pin shipped from Melbourne to Canberra (depot to depot) and the price seems to have jumped quite a bit since I last used them.

As a comparison,  the last pin I shipped from Brisbane to Canberra (in 2012) was $237, but entering the same details, now comes out at around $397.

I'm using the following details:
Pallet, 125 L x 125 W x 145 H, 125kg

Is this the same sort of details that others are using?
Has anyone else found the prices have risen?

Cheers

Yeah, you no longer get a 25% discount for depot dropoff or collection they have dropped the discount to 15%
Where you used to get 50% discount for depot to depot you now only get 30% on top of that I think there has been a price rise too particularly with small parcels.

Be careful how you pack the machine because only the cube size matters

For example packing a machine on it's end on a pallet makes the cube size is bigger even though the floor space is smaller in the truck.
Pack a machine on a pallet horizontal on its base and the cube size is smaller and you pay less even though it takes up more floor space in the truck.
Crazy system.
