Couriers Please are cheap for a reason!
Definitely the worst courier company in oz, if not the worst business!
check the reviews on the internet first before using them, I was very disappointed.....could have walked to the supplier and picked it up myself would have been quicker.

My business has used Couriers please in Queensland regularly for years and never had a problem.

Was in interstate road transport for a lot of years till I sold to Toll a few years ago.

Tassie has a few differences as there's no bridge although things may have changed in last 10 years. No bridge?
a. Price would be secondary for me . I would be looking for one carrier point to point for personal item if possible.
If a small courier .
b. Ask how they ship off the island and how often. ie. by trailer on the Spirit or whoever
or by container. If by container be aware they will only send when it's full
and iff they are filling containers by State it may take a day or two to fill.
c. Is there tracking all the way.
d. who they use on the mainland.
e. Go by recommendation from a Taswegian who uses their services.
Address the item in clear bold letters on top and on the side. and if they supply address label with peel off barcodes put one on all sides.

Tas Freight or allalong both pretty good for bigger items i have used both shipping sailboards around

Pack and send quoted me $100.00 to send a lap top computer from Darwin to Brisbane and that was not even express.

As a matter of interest what's the size of the box.
The calc used to be road 250 kgs per cubic metre
or dead weight whichever is greater.
Thr basic fee for a one off would be at least $50 and the minimum
per consignment ,well that depends if they want the job.
