Are you selling items that can not be sent by Australia Post?   For the most part if the items are within the AP guidelines it is the cheapest service that will deliver Australia wide and that buyers like. 

A lot of buyers will not buy from sellers who do not use Australia Post as they have trouble collecting from courier depots if the goods are delivered when there is no-one home.

No my new items are 34-74kg and about a meter long, so I need a freight it would be good if auspost did freight of this sort.

Try Temando. they are a freight broker and give preferential deals to eBay members.

Yes, you definitely do need a freight service.  As davewil says....try Temando.  You will have the choice of a lot of courier services who will not deal with you as an individual.

As someone else suggested, try Temando

 

They are heaps cheaper than Aust Post for their 3kg and 5kg bags.  They are a broker and you can book in the pickup with places such as TNT, Couriers Please, Startrack Express etc etc etc

I would not recommend Fastways Couriers both as a buyer and 25 years experience in the industry.

Try Interparcel.com.au or e-go.com.au, I haven't used thempersonally yet, but have received many items from both and happy with their delivery. Yesterday I checked out their rates so I could ship something and they definetly arecheaper than Aust. Post.
