Good morning all,
New here, first post. Trying to get back into sailing after 20 years and really looking forward to it. Bought this used Starboard Carve 99 (258 x 60) and boom from someone in Melbourne and need to get it to the Sunshine Coast. Any advice, suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

+1 for Ego. Book on line and make sure you get the measurements around the right way, makes a difference in the pricing. ( Get the seller to advise measurement and both of you get a quote first and compare ).
Also Depot to Depot if you can, the less handling the better.
(PS There is numerous threads on this site re freight, just Google "freight Seabreeze " )

I posted last time when this question was brought up, praising e-go.

However, since then I used them (parcel was sent to me) and it was a complete disaster.

Sail took one month to arrive,

I (as the receiver) was made to pay for the stuff-up or they wouldn't release the parcel.

No-one told me what was going on.

I was told one story by one person, then something completely different by another, while the parcel was sitting in the wrong depot for three weeks.

When I contacted e-go about the problem no-one followed up on it.

e-go's service was appalling.

I would consider all other options before I used e-go again.

+1 Clarence. My last experience with E-Go, their customer service was appalling

Ended up going with e-go in the end. Depot to depot from Melbourne to Sunny Coast. 265 mt board and boom in board bag $150. Arrived 4 days after dispatch with no problems.
