Hi all,
I'm looking for a good reliable freight company to send a mast interstate, any recommendations? (Obviously price is also important...)
Thanks, Marty

As said www.e-go.com.au
I used PVC stormwater pipe 90mm diameter for that extra protection. You could find second-hand Pipe at local recyclers for around $5 to $10

I bought a mast from the seabreeze ads that was dropped off to e-go for shipping to Perth. It was never seen again.

Initially e-go said they had no record of it ever having been dropped off to them. When the receipt was produced showing they had actually accepted it, they searched for a week before telling us that the shipment had been lost. They kindly offered to pay the cost of the freight, which they said was all they were liable for.

Use e-go at your own risk

I've used both Smartsend (Door to Door) and E-go (Depot to Depot) since 2015. Smartsend has been the best value door to door courier service, consistently providing the cheapest quote. Smartsend usually use Startrack as their carrier, who are very reliable. E-go use Hunter Express. I've also had no issues with damaged or lost goods with either courier. My most recent deliveries were for two boards, one from Brisbane to Melbourne (Smartsend $125) and Brisbane to Sydney (E-go $80)

Thanks for the suggestions

Always use a commercial address to a commercial address that is your location to another location, pack well, forget insurance, unless you wish to pay more, your call, might be worth insuring it if you feel the item is valuable or if it is being sold to another in another state, just make sure you opt for it and charge the buyer for it. Always best to get the buyer to organise and pay for his own freight and insurance as he or she is taking the risk.

Also join up to be a site member as you get a discount (last time I did this), as well.

Example quote (before discount) follows, made up dimensions of mast...not sure if correct, might be scope for more savings:
