I recently had a board come from WA by TNT business to business. I recommend it if you are a business .
The board was very well packaged by the sender ( thanks Sandy) but I was impressed by the email transit notification.
I send my paintings via another courier and you have to enter the tracking number in their website to see where it is.
TNT sends out emails at each stage( left depot / in transit/ being delivered - expected delivery time / day etc.)
You can also insure the item .The board came in a pre used board box and I loved the labelling- no forklift - $ high claim item $
. I was going to start using label that on my portrait packaging but realised my courier only insures for cost of materials which is really helpful when you have a labor intensive product like a painted portrait..
Yeah I thought it would have been a lot more. I guess because its a narrow speed board
Just had a board delivered with Ego and no holes in the box, happy days.
Sue, did either of you have an account with TNT, as this makes a big difference in pricing.
I didn't have an account.I'm not sure about the sender - don't think so..It was a smaller board ( isonic 50) although we used a largish box like Steve Charles. One downer is if you aren't home the first time they charge $20 to redeliver. Ego doesn't but they charged more (for insurance to cover it ).Also the TNT email tracking is pretty good.
I was lucky I went out for a sail on Friday morning as it wasn't due till Monday. When I got home there was a message that it was due that afternoon.
We both provided ABN's.
I would also use TNT again
I had a sail sent from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US to Brisbane and the tracking is fantastic with every different transit point I got an email and notification when in customs etc.
For a 8.4 Race sail the freight was US$230 which is not bad from the other side of the world.
It also only took 6 days to get it from time of ordering..
