Put it on the scales you slacker :P :lol:

If you boxed it up and dropped it off at the freight company then I couldnt see it being that much, maybe $60? Ring up Bullet Freight Services, I've used them couple of times and they were cheap and fast

also ask if it's going by actual weight or volumetric weight, as that can be the killer on frieghting costs.

Goes by volume at canterbury express......
With regards to leaving without signing, it's just a pain when you have to work and dont get home till 5:30 and the couriers dont deliver then.

cost me about $60 to get a rear bumper from Auck to ashburton on PBT transport
the guy didnt pack it or anything though so the area it took up wasnt as big as if it was in a box
