Default Can anyone recommend a removalist? Bought gym equip on eBay-must transport interstate

hey there!

seeing you guys have been so helpful with my car-related questions I thought I'd throw this one at u -

I'm about to buy some gym equip on eBay (a leg press machine – very heavy, and a stepper machine). The only problem is that the seller is in NSW and I am in Bayside, Vic.

I’m wondering – how much do you think it would cost to get someone to transport this equip for me from NSW to VIC??

Do you think a removalist would do this, considering it’s just 2 pieces of equipment, not a whole house full of stuff.

Can anyone recommend a removalist??

Cheers :-)

My friend bought a gym-set from Ebay and when following the instructions to put it together, many of the screws broke.
So prepare for a trip to bunnings.

The Chinese make cheap. Not safe.

So give it a good test before you use it full-bore, or you might injure yourself.

Try a Company Called "Pack and Send"

Tell them the exact measurements and weight and you will get a price to compare with the one you have been quoted
