Any other options?

Ship 4.2 KG to VIC/NSW, normally cost $24 via Au Post.
To WA 6312 will cost $41 Australia Post and $64.90 via Fastway.

Either cases seem to cost too much, is there any cheaper options for shipping bulking/heavy items?

Best Regards,

    They're OK but when things go pear shaped you'll have "fun" communicating with them via sporadic emails.

      Yeah and being the receiver, you're stuck. I've had 2 parcels gone walkabout, Sendle and MyBottleShop washed their hands clean on both.

  make sure you read the reviews for Fastway couriers before using their service… possibly the worst couriers on planet Earth :D

  If you're sending low volumes just plug it into Temando and see what pops up.

  Interpacel aggregates a few couriers and you can book directly on their website.
