NZ Post Sea Freight - last time I used this (going back 3 years ago), cost NZ$80 to get a standard tower case PC in a padded box home. Took a bit longer, but price definitely made it worthwhile. TNT are money hungry anyway - considering it cost me $110 to send a desktop PC, Monitor, Printer, Scanner and desk to Kishinau, Moldova (In the former USSR) via Australia Post recently, and $65 extra for insurance, I'd hate to think what TNT would charge...

Howdy Folks, Here's an interesting one.. We sent one of our fellows over to NZ earlier in the year to setup a test box at a client's site. The box went over in his luggage so didn't cost us anything to ship.. Now it's a few months later, the trial is completed, and the client is hinting that it'd make a beaut quake server, so we're ready to ship the box home However we find that TNT want $1200 to ship the box back across the pond! - while it only actually weighs in at 8kg or so, it's in a large foam-padded box which would weigh 96kg if it was a solid steel block (which is apprently how they decide how to charge for shipping internationally).. Now we dont' want to spend $1200 to ship a PIII-600 back here, but we would like to get the box back home if possible, so I'm wondering if anyone has a cheaper method of getting machines from NZ to Aus? Any ideas muchly appreciated :) Cheers, DG -- Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG. Dip EE.
