Does anyone have recommendations for couriers they use to buy second hand goods from interstate?
I’m looking to buy a device from Gumtree/Marketplace that can weigh up to 20kg and in a (relatively) decent sized box ~(70cmx40cmx40cm)
Looking for services (not necessary) they offer like:
either picking up from the person’s house or they deliver it to a location
they can pack it for you
method of payment to the seller otherwise I’d have to trust the other party to ship it off
I tried looking into backloading but it seems like too much trouble for minimal savings. Looked at courier sites and wasn’t sure if I was doing it correctly but it was estimating ~$80 which is actually not too bad. Would much rather go off of recommendations.
Was recommended Couriers Please but it depends on the franchise
Not sure, but at work they use DHL. No need for seller to do anything, you can book and prepay and seller just needs to be available at pick up time. Don’t know if cost is reasonable but they seem to be reliable.

Couriers Please has a horrible reputation.
I remember that I would never use them or buy from some online stores if they used them as they are really bad.
I’m sorry I can’t offer anything else other than that.
yeah it depends on the franchise. The one where we lived in bayside? Top fuckin’ notch. Where we live now in Kingston? Utter dogshit.
I’ve used Pack & Send, they were good but bloody expensive. Don’t expect a lot of change from $200.
