Default Need help moving a diff from QLD to Vic

There is a diff in Ipswitch I really want to buy but the seller can't freight. Any recommendation for someone to collect it and bring it back to vic? I'm in Echuca but Shepparton, Bendigo, Melbourne etc would be fine. It's a big heavy bugger, from a Dodge Power Wagon.

Try here, https://smartsend.com.au/. I've used em a couple of times, for house doors and an airless spray unit, quite reasonable both times.

If it's any help cowboy I can go pick it up from Ipswich for you in my ute and store it in my shed until you get something sorted with freight - I'm Brisbane northside, about an hours drive from Ipswich. It'll be safe with me, you score the diff now and can get time to get stuff sorted, can help you out with delivering the diff to a depot etc.

Cheers!

Edit: How big is the diff - will it fit in the tray of an XH ute?

How about Wagga Wagga, I'm going up that way in a Ute in a few weeks.

Would it fit and how much of a hurry are you in ?

Those are some great offers guys, thanks. It's an ebay item so I'll wait and see if I get it first. It will fit in a ute no worries, it's about the same size as a big 4wd diff but bloody heavy.
