Bike Shipping in Australia
Hi All,
Do you who can ship out bicycles ?(couriers maybe)
I have a road bike for sale and the interested buyer is in Darwin.
I don't think Australia Post ships bike... or do they ??
Cheers,
Mario

They probably only ship on the condition the bike is well packaged ie. partially disassembled if a complete bike etc and placed in a box. Again, I have yet to do it myself but I intend hassling my LBS for an unwanted box they assemble their stock from and work from there.
I'd be curious to know how you go - cos I can see a day probably in the not too distant future where I will want to thin out some of my bike stuff on e-bay. If you're willing to ship - it expands your market.
cheers

Greyhoud + Insurance is the way to go. Its a path many have traveled in the past with both good and bad experiences. Good luck

If I recall correctly, it was about $70 for a courier from Newcastle to somewhere in QLD. The bus is the way to go.
