Transdirect are good (transdirect.com.au)
E-GO are a bit cheaper but are not contactable by phone if you have trouble ^.^

Perfect Move Removals - These guys shipped a Buccaneer to NSW from Melbourne. They were FAST and very careful with the game - which arrived safely a day early.

Had two games recently, one by E-Go from Brisbane and the other by Transdirect from Melbourne- both had no issues. Unfortunately sometimes I think it is the luck of the draw - who collects and handles it. Irrespective of who you use, just make sure the game is strapped to a pallet and wrapped in cardboard and bubble wrap and pay the extra for insurance. I think Transdirect include insurance, but please check.

i have used E-Go numerous time without any problems at all.  As Tony mentioned, having the machine properly packed with FRAGILE marked all over it will help no matter who the transport company is.

If you can afford it, I would consider a furniture removalist before a transport company probably.

I contacted Dutts yesterday as I had heard good stories from people using them, only pain in the arse is you have to get it to and from their Depots, $140 Sydney to Melbourne.

I have used Dutt Transport. Yes, i had to drop it off at the Depot and buyer had to pick up from Depot, but very good service
and communication. I wrapped it very well, but you do not need to supply your own pallet. They will put it on a pallet for you.

I agree. Dutt Transport is ecxcellent.

Have used E-Go many times, no issues ever. Must use Insurance to cover yourself.More so theft from someone at a depot who wants a new toy for their games room, instead of damage, but that can occur as well. Dont skimp, or pay the price ! (no pun intended).
