It's the only way I could get a radiator delivered from 100km away. A bonnet may be a bit hard to fit in your boot though Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 26/06/06 08:34 AM Share Posted 26/06/06 08:34 AM I work for a transport company... and I will let you know that you should be very aware of the fact that it WILL most probably get damaged in transit... bonnets, guards and any car panels are extremely fragile and prone to severe damage... the company I work picks up, delivers and controls the warehouses of some the major car makers... and this is how we/they ship these items. Unless you make a wooden box of some description that doesn't flex... and then pack out that wooden box with as much padding as you can fit in there... I wouldn't have it sent. Freight for an item like a bonnet with any of the major companies (TNT, IPEC, Startrack) will probably be more than a couple of hundred dollars... especially if you pack it correctly.Sorry if I've rained on your parade... but it's the truth. The worst thing for you would be to have it sent and wrecked in transit, as you have very little recourse with the transport companies unless you take out in insurance on the item, which can also be expensive...Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for TNT... which in the industry is considered to be one of the better one's and there is no way I would send an item like that, the way it was sent to you...
