Ok, i have a tailgate in Melbourne I need shipped over, but how the heck can I do it? It's not packed or wrapped or anything of the kind, and it's kinda pointless getting it shipped at all if it gets marked up and who the heck can I trust to pack it right so it gets here unmarked? I can likely get someone to put it aside for now and maybe wait til I get over there to package it but I'd prefer not to. Any suggestions am I missing something in my thinking here?

On the odd occassion my Aunt does trips from WA to over East, if I know she is heading that way and if its not to far out of her way to pick up, I would imagine that she would bring it back for a small fee... I can check it out if that helps out in anyway??

Tempting to make the drive but it'd have to be in the ute, eek, and bra-less. I'd likely get stopped for indecent exposure without my bra anyway. By the time I feed the semi-hungry 5.0 I may as well have flown over on a cheapy and shipped
 Gave Pack and Send a call and estimated 50kg and dimensions maybe $150 to get it here picked up and packed. Could be a backup plan.

Go to just about any tile/brick/hardware... or just about any building product shop and grab some crates break them up and bang in a few screws make a packing crate for it then ship it as normal.
