i have posted a few boards with Australia post.. I think you will be surprised at how cheap it is.. just bubble wrap it and make sure its leaning on something else when they put it on the scales

I had a surf kiteboard posted to me recently.

The seller used

www.transdirect.com.au/

The board went from North Coast NSW to Melbourne (door to door) and it was cheap. Note cheapest is not always the best option. I was hesitant about freighting a surfboard but turned out good from my end. A twin tip would be cheaper. 3-5 days i think they quoted

I was the buyer so don't have full details but can recommend. Don't know about tracking options

Milko,
i didn't think you could send it with AusPost? i thought they had a 105cm limit on stuff, how does that work?

I dont know how.. I have sold 3 boards in the last 15 months and sent them all Australia post.. one of them was a 144x46 flx.. I just bubble wrapped it and it cost me well under $20 from north coast to syd.. I have also sent to QLD.. kites however cost more.. had one delivered aus post from WA and it cost $70.. but i have a mate who uses a courier service daily and i just sent a kite to syd for $10..

Oh, and make sure it's an odd shaped box so they can't cube it... Actual weight is a looooot cheaper

cheers for all the comments guys!

so a bit of hint hint, nudge nudge, say no more ;) ... gets the job done with Auspost
and i agree with insuring the life out of it! nothing worse than something going missing and each party getting screwed !

anyone have any ideas with pricing figures, the guy that sending me the board (from sydney to hobs) said everywhere he searched it was 65+ and then referred him to www.transdirect.com.au/ (thanks pedro) and he got it for 35
anyone have any idea how much postage with others would be? aka AusPost?

Check on the online postage calculator, just put down the right weight of the board and packaging and it'll give you an exact figure... Don't put dimensions in or it will Cube it..
