Is this for a replica Evo X steel bonnet by any chance?
Don't use TransDirect - see the group buy thread for the bonnets, to see all the dramas we had when things got damaged in transit.
If you're going to be transporting a bonnet... you need to be using PROPER packaging else you're going to end up with scrap metal....

Yeah that's the 1 lol. I want to purchase it and just looking for a decent courier that's cheap and reliable. Don't really know how this would work since I haven't purchased anything this big b4. Do you know any other couriers that are cheap?

Maybe for something that size, try ringing some interstate furniture removals and see if thr's a truck the bonnet can piggy back on for a price?

The problem here is how the thing is handled. You cannot have them stuck stuff on top of it. Also stacking it vertically will put too much pressure the edges of the bonnet causing it to curl or bend or be impacted at some points.
Basically needs to be on a pallet of some sort lying flat and nothing stacked on top of it. So you'll need to find a freight company that can adhere to such instructions.

When I bought my RA bonnet (and side skirts) off of another great member on the forums, they used E-Go Couriers. Seemed to come pretty timely and the pricing was nice from what I recall although I can't remember exact numbers. Another part I purchased from a wreckers in Sydney also used E-go but to a different address, had Hunter Express drop it off. You can have a delivered to your address, or have them hold it for you at one of their pick up points for less of a cost. The parts arrived in a pretty good state. Bonnet (it's aluminium) had some slight bends of the tips closest to the windshield. I don't know if that makes sense. Two seconds to push them back into shape though. Skirts and Rear Bar were perfect.

I guess they transport it from state to state and then contract the delivery (if requested) out. That's my understanding anyway.

EDIT: I'm so retarded I didn't realise how old this was.
