Thats what i said have u got a quote number dont understand why it would cost more to come up?
i do somewhere but what are you trying to send, maybe thats the problem.
Plus my quote wont be accurate as it was the case of door to depot (at higher cost $570.85 or something) but originally i was quoted $270.71 and this was 2 weeks or so ago.

There was a thread on here a while ago re: Showtime transport-dudes... I used that when I called them. Sorry, I can't find it now. 🙁
Lee, I am from Sydney. Dont you remember coming to look at an Auto Superbug I was selling ?
Showtime doesnt answer his phone anymore...try align and say the guys who move the kombis sent you...theyre are really good and professional, and small so they can tell you where its up to when you ring, no number quoting, etc...

In the worlds before Monkey primal chaos reigned. heaven sought order, but he pheonix can fly only when its feathers are grown. the 4 worlds formed again and yet again, as the endless aoens weild and passed. Time and the pure essence of heaven and the moisture of the earth all worked upon a certain rock old as creation. And it became mgically fertile. That first egg was named "Thought". Thathaga Buddha, the father Buddha, said with our thoughts we make the world. Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch and from it came a stone monkey! The nature of MONKEY WAS IREPRESSIBLE!!!!! !

I found out why it costs more to get cars down to Sydney.
Its because all the trucks are full making their way to Sydney so they need to allocate space for the car hence the expensive rate. Anything going to Melb or Brisi is cheap
