Okay so i have a board sitting in QLD but freight price has jumped up like you wouldn't believe. I would like it air freighted as i think road would have it loaded and unloaded to many times increasing risk of damage.
So is anyone have any contacts from GC to Perth please
Or am i being silly will road be okay
$280 air freight i think is a little over the top
Im guessing its for your new Bourton 
I got my custom sent over for $180 by road but there are cheaper deals out there. Mine had no dammage at all so I guess the price was good. 
jbs you wont get cheap airfreight . if you want it cheap, it goes by road . $280 airfreight is because it isn't done on physical weight , it's cubed out . windsurfing board i presume ?
$280 would seem pretty cheap to me for airfreight if it is
Rod I had quotes from normal freight companies at around the $90 - $120 mark from same area to here.
Damage though - who knows
$280 across country seems alright it cost me $120 to get board mast and sails from Adelaide to ceduna by truck. Only 800 km.
Fkme for $280 you can go to the GC pick it up surf it and fly home, check out TIGER JETSTAR VIRGIN but factor in their board prices and policys
After working in road and rail transport for a while, I would be extremely nervous abut receiving anything. Nobody gives a crap and it's luck of the draw whether you get a forklift Tyne thru your board or not. (I have got one board and it was damaged). Whatever you do get insurance and go over it with a fine tooth comb before you sign off on it. Chrispycru mentioned a surfboard transport company, maybe pm him and try them?
nick from surf freight only does the east coast.....but mr hack,i will make some calls today for you mate
Even better to see Ive got fans and and the shaper is sending it road
DICK
Does Air freight really make any difference? I figure it's the handling along the way that matters.
I've road freighted three boards over to WA from the east - haven't had any problems.
