Fenders / mudguards/wings
are usually pick up only parts...
there are just too big to send economically anywhere...
although it depends on where you live...
I had 4 alloy wheels with tyres sent from brisbane to newcastle via some courier service ??
they weren't too expensive.... can't remember how much
but to get them to Scone would have cost an arm & a leg
cheers

thats usually the best way for guards etc...

More info needed....

We're in Noosa and the parts are going to Mackay and I believe a bonnet is going to Melbourne.

For rims...Aust post!! If you bubble wrap them individually it cost about $7 each from Townsville to Sydney....and the same from Townsville to
Brisbane.I've sent MANY rims this way and as they are not in a box it is cheeeep.I got some seats through Aussie post and it was $140 for the pair
from Melbourne to Townsville.They were in the original box but were not flat ie. they were in the "sitting" position and re taped.Cheap as...I got
other rims (4) sent from Adelaid by courier and they were $360 to send.......
