thanks for all your experiences, looks like i wasn't the only one.

I still wonder if its fraudulent behavior, or slight muck ups that aren't worth the effort / cost to fix. It goats my fairness/ accuracy genes, as you've done everything right at your end.

Maybe you just add some extra on to the cost of your quote, when comparing prices.

The bigger issue will be if damage occurs and you have insurance - what's the come back on them if you can't contact them.

Anyone had experiences with damage issue's and the claim process?

I've had terrible results with Ego (hunter express). It relates to extra dimension charge they charge your card with after the initial booking charge.
It's typically $10-15 on a $100 sail box. You think not worth worrying about, yet you were sure you measured the dimensions correctly.

THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN - only this time you took photos of the dimensions, allowed an extra 1cm and where present when they picked them up.
There were 3 sail boxes, all the same height and width, just the length was different. One box went through ok, one was out by 0.5cm and the other by 3cm! (Width)

I complained. Provided photos – I even got the receiver to take measurement and photos, to verify the measurements
Got the generic letter back, stating that that two of the boxes were out of specifications and that’s why you were charged extra

I provided photos of measurements before and after delivery, but no response.

YOU HAVE NO COME BACK ON THEM. They don’t want to know you and you have no way of holding them accountable.

Who knows would happen if there was a damage issue – even with insurance.

I no longer use them, I go to my local courier and get them to measure the box.

I’ve also heard other people have this same problem with Ego couriers, yet haven’t they bothered about it due to the extra cost not worth the effort

What’s has been other people experience with them?

And yes it can be transmitted to us humans. I guess it’s watch this space.

If that is the case, then we're all fcked anyway. My suburb is over run with bird life. During the algae bloom, there were 100's of dead marine animals washed up from my account. Species I never knew we had. The scientists said that was the tip of the iceberg. Most people abide by the health advice and stayed away from the beaches. But tell that to Windsurfers, Kitersurfers and the Dingers who were wind deprived. Last year was a sht year for wind. So, I found myself totally ignoring that advice, and sailing in the green water with the dead fish floating on the water, and washed up. Some riders said they suffered asthma like symptoms. I'm not saying you're wrong, and your concern should be not be considered. But I'm totally not bothered. We speed sailors sail in some pretty rancid sht. I sink in mud on a small lake nobody sails on, and I think how many geological periods is my foot going into ?. Who would do that ?. Only us. The only other sport I can think of that does that is those cave divers that swim in dishwater. Who knows the ancient pathogens in those waters. Nightcliff Gardener's Disease springs to mind.

Yeah, I've sailed in some pretty horrible stuff over the years. LG can get super saline with low water levels - i don't think much can survive in that.

I try not to stop or fall in at LG - the mud, the water, the weed and dead animals.

On the news last night, it was confirmed that a seal was washed up at Beachport with H5.

At least as far as I'm aware there has been no seals in LG

Oh look if it gets worse we are all on half price roast chooken from Woolies.
im far more concerned about our mouse plague that is roughly 10x the mice per hectare than needed to declare plague.


And a little fertiliser shortage and diesel shortage at seeding time. Massive reduction in grain crop means less feed for all farmed animals as well as the primary use for us. But the news are picking up on a handful of petrels as it’s easier to scare people with bird flu than mouse plague.
quick buy dunny paper 🙄

Very true Mark, but they’re talking of mass deaths of black swans 99% and 60% of seals. Couple that with SA,s algae deaths, it just might tip a lot of other species to the brink.

Most of you might have seen it on the news last night - about 200 dead birds have washed up on Portland's beach's over the last week.

The spit at LG might be an interesting sight, the S&SE will wash all the carcasses up on there. Looks like I won't be launching from there

Yep….. this is just the start. Word from the experts is that year 3 is worse than the first wave of the disease. I hope that our experience is better than overseas.

Yeah, here we go.

Anyone got any knowledge about how it affected water uses overseas?
