There's a TV in stock about 460km away from me at a JB hHi-Fi. It's 77 inch so it's pretty big and they cannot transfer it to a shop closer to me.

Any freight or companies that can deliver it to me?

Thanks

    Backhaul?

    It would be cheaper for you to move house closer to the vicinity of the TV

    How much of a saving compared to someone who can deliver?

    You can try these guys, www.transdirect.com.au but good luck if it gets damaged.

    Call Man With a Van, ask for Joe. He'll get it sorted for you. Unless of course it's an LG. He doesn't like Korean TVs.

      Is he Japanese?

        He'd rather not talk about the war.

    Truckit.net and put up an ad asking for someone to pick it up and drop it off for you. You will get a few quotes.

    My guess, based on size and weight of an average TV and providing it isnt going anywhere too out of the way (ie: Sydney to Gulargambone would be a pricey destination, but Sydney to Taree might not be) it is going to set you back well over $100 and probably closer to $300 to have it delivered.

    How much will JB charge for delivery? Did you ask them?

  • Muzeeb on 09/04/2023 - 17:06

    Drive to the store and pick it up.

      Could be done in one day, no need for accommodation.

    • hothed on 11/04/2023 - 15:35

      In a van. Wont fit in a 4x4

        It will fit in a 4x4 ute .

    How much savings did you get off the TV to warrant a $1-300 delivery charge lol

  • iguana on 09/04/2023 - 18:00

    Can't you order it from JB's online store? Then they will organise delivery.

    • Woody982 on 11/04/2023 - 06:28

      No they wont deliver something big. I was less than 150kms away and they wouldnt deliver a bigger TV through the online store to me…

      However smaller TV's they will, i am now about 800kms from my nearest JB and they did deliver a 42" LG C2 to me, for a mere $16 LOL

    Get an Uber parcel
    pay them with latitude price protection.

    • TrustNoBody on 10/04/2023 - 09:39

      i’ve just started using my latitude price protection and damage insurance it’s great ..

    Wheelbarrow. The walk will do you good.

    JB won't deliver more than 100km.

    Looks like it has to be a courier but don't know if I trust them or if it gets damaged along the way.
    Ah well

      Try Cope, they specialise in sensitive freight deliveries
      https://www.cope.com.au/

    • Ryballs on 12/04/2023 - 01:12

      We deliver bigger commercial TVs via courier all the time. Just use a specialised one like Toll, Cope, etc

  • Southoz on 09/04/2023 - 18:36

    Just get these guys to drop it off on their way past

    Just wait until EOFY. Hopefully we get some similar or better deals.

    • solidussnake on 10/04/2023 - 08:35

      If it's the CS model they're pretty much gone, but if it's the C2 they should wait.

      • illusion99 on 10/04/2023 - 14:41

        When do C2 sales usually hit?

        • solidussnake on 10/04/2023 - 17:57

          When new models are announced may-june usually and when retailers change the status to EOL.

    The Proclaimers (but metric)

    • CrispyChrispy on 09/04/2023 - 20:35

      They only need to walk 500 285 miles

      • Mechz on 09/04/2023 - 21:50
        +8

        But then they have to get home again. But this would come under The Proclaimers 500 More policy.

        • Flying Ace on 10/04/2023 - 21:34

          But then they'd be that man who walks a thousand miles to fall down at their door, and you don't want that.

    • payless69 on 10/04/2023 - 12:33

      They kept their identity! Unlike the school uniform players!

    • SpainKing on 11/04/2023 - 15:43

      I remember the good ol' days of primary school walkathons where they'd play this every time without fail (sometimes multiple times in the same walkathon).

      Looking back, I'd do the exact same thing

  • Davo1111 on 09/04/2023 - 20:06

    I assume you live in the sticks

    Wait until you're coming to town, then get it then.

    You actually trust a company transporting a tv?

      How do you think they get transported to the shop?

      • Davo1111 on 10/04/2023 - 07:45
        +5

        A large insured truck

        And whats the bet op will have the opposite?

        • OBEY YOUR MASTERS on 16/04/2023 - 12:07

          The opposite of what? He's not transporting space shuttle parts for NASA. It's just a TV.

    • Randolph Duke on 10/04/2023 - 13:25

      It’s a 77” TV - they’ll struggle to fit it in a car unless they own a mini van.

      • Davo1111 on 10/04/2023 - 23:28

        Many people who live in the sticks have a 4wd

        • Randolph Duke on 10/04/2023 - 23:29

          Even 4WD’s will struggle with a 77in

    Theres a computer/sensitive freight co which might do it. Google it.

    To save the hassle look a bit closer to home.

    Car got a tow bar? Hire a trailer and grab it yourself.

    Seriously, who buys a tv 500km away and then thinks about delivery.

    Just a thought, you can use one of the Uber Car Share promo's that I've seen going around and hire a van? Might be most economical

  • b0rnwithabeard on 10/04/2023 - 21:59

    tell them to send it to my local JB store, I’ll pick it up for you

    The amount of shit that could go wrong with this situation gives one basic resolution don't do it.

    It's not worth travelling for and it's definitely not worth sourcing a courier

    These guys do TVs

  • Thinkswithelbow on 11/04/2023 - 09:06

    Rent a van and go on a trip? Assume the store won't deliver?

  • The Wololo Wombat on 11/04/2023 - 09:25

    Wait for it to come on sale via GoodGuys and buy from eBay (free postage, even to Rural)

  • FloatingPoint on 11/04/2023 - 13:30

    Fun game if you find a cracked screen when the TV finally arrives. The courier and jb hi-fi will blame each other and you will never see your money again.
    Just not worth the risk.

    Get it delivered to a friends place who lives next to the JB hi-fi then plan a trip there over the next week or two

    Find a friend with a tow bar and hire a trailer? or even better, a friend with a towbar and a trailer! Do a road trip.

    I am in East Gippsland VIC and happy to help out for a fee. I have a trailer.
