Recommendations for courier to transport 'pick up only' item (furniture) Melbourne to Newcastle.

[jan2331]

Anyone have a business to recommend?

Depends on the size of the furniture but you will probably need a removalist not a courier.

Try looking for a company that is backloading....it is usually a bit cheaper than a 1 purpose trip.

If it is small enough that a courier could do the job you can try Temando...they are a courier broker and you will have the choice of several companies.  Just choose the one that best suits your requirements.

jan,first thing is does the Seller ALLOW you to use a courier to transport the pick up??  ask them first.  many sellers are not willing to hang around waiting for a courier or furniture removalist (they are usually totally unreliable about the Time they will collect).

also, the seller will then need to prepare the item for transport, (wrap it in bubble or whatever). so not acceptable to many sellers

before you bid on anything or look for a courier/removalist, make sure your Seller is willing for you to collect that way

You could have walked the things in the 9 months it has taken you to reply to this thread.

Obviously your issue was not time specific.
