Default Shipping company for wheels?

Can someone save me a lot of time?
I am looking for a company that can transport 4 18 inch wheels (rims and tyres) from Bayswater VIC to Gold Coast QLD. Most companies want you to have an account with them and I obviously can't use Australia Post.
Thanks
Ryan

I used them to send some big 4x4 mud tyres from Melbourne to Queensland. Was a couple of years ago now but they gave me the best quote I could find at the time.

Go down to your local tyre shop. They will usually give you mag wheel boxes for free then use the above website. I have done it and it works great.

It's easy to sign up, and it then basically uses their account to draw quotes from a number of competitive shipping companies, such as Allied Express.

I found them to be excellent for door-to-door service involving heavy objects

Have used these guys a couple of times now for rims. No complaints as either sender or receiver.

HTH.

Thanks for the replies.
Looks like $150 should do it.

+1 for them. I sent the Dark Agents (Wheels and tyres) with them from Dandy South depot to QLD. Buyer arranged it and was more than pleased with the service and price. As have many people that I have sent stuff with them.
