6 weeks & $15k. Probably about fair. If you need "metal rollers" delivered from Vegas to Melbourne, the usual method would be a cheap freight company. A personal delivery service for what sounds like a low value item ("metal rollers") is verging on the realms of knowing that the cargo needs special attention.... ???
Wayne Carey's brother jailed over drug-smuggle plot

The older brother of AFL legend Wayne Carey has been jailed by the Court of Appeal for six weeks after the Director of Public Prosecution appealed a suspended sentence he received for drug offences.
Kevin "Dick" Carey, 49, received a 15-month wholly suspended sentence in 2010 after he pleaded guilty in the County Court to his role in a scheme to smuggle a precursor chemical, phenylpropanolamine, inside metal rollers from South Africa in 2009.
Carey claimed he was an unwitting courier when he drove the rollers from Queensland to Melbourne.

There were a total of 87 bags of the chemical - capable of producing up to 27.5kg of amphetamines.
He was also fined $17,000, and despite agreeing to give evidence against his co-accused, the DPP claimed Carey failed to follow through with his undertaking, by effectively reducing his accomplice's role "from a significant involvement to virtually no involvement at all".
The trial against one of his co-accused was aborted after the DPP deemed there was a substantial failure by Carey to fulfil the undertaking he had made, which was taken into account in sentencing Carey.
Another co-offender was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment for his involvement in the scheme, 12 months of which was suspended for three years.
In handing down their judgment, Court of Appeal judges Marcia Neave, David Harper and Elizabeth Hollingworth today said: "Public policy requires an offender who received a lower sentence because of his or her undertaking to give evidence against a co-offender, to receive a significant increase in his or her sentence if the offender does not do so".
They added that if it were not for the fact that one of his co-offenders had received a 15-month suspended sentence, it is likely that the court would have significantly increased Carey's sentence.
"The order of the Court is that the appeal be allowed and that Carey be resentenced to a term of 15 months' imprisonment, of which 13 and a half months is suspended for 2 years, and pay a fine of $15,000," they said.
