    Default Shipping equipment with Pallets

    Hey guys, Whats are the costs etc involved in shipping pallets.

    Im starting to move bulk equipment and large servers by pallet, so I need to get the low down on how it all works. Is it more expensive etc.

    Thanks.

    Crackers,

    Are you moving things interstate or locally?

    I'd suggest contacting a local courier service and talking to their sales reps as to what rates they can put you on etc. It is cheeper to ship a wrapped pallet, than a broken pallet (ease of movement etc).

    Negotiate between the different courier companies and you'll eventually get a good rate....

    you could try: Direct freight express, Budget couriers and......... do a search ;-)

    Also, if you are looking to buy pallets, I wouldn't bother buying new CHEP pallets or anything, go second hand hardwood pallets. (I've got some sydney details somewhere....)

    I get aluminum pallets for free from my mates work.

    I will shrink wrap them up so that should work well. Thanks for the tips. I shall call them

    They will be going interstate as well.
