Shipping an engine

Looking at an engine and box on here that's located in Dunedin, anyone got a recommendation on someone who'll ship it to Wellington! The seller is happy to split it and strap to a pallet.

Try mainfreight or freightlines both have depots in Wellington you will have to drain the oil out

I used Daily Freight back in 2008 to transport a engine and box (289 V8 and C4 trans & headers, quite a large package) from Nelson to Auckland. Cost $200. I guess Dunedin to Welly would be about the same or even cheaper if motor and box are smaller.

Yeah its a 1960's 1300, it would way smaller by volume :) maybe not on weight :D

was that depot to depot! or pickup to depot!

Depot to depot I think. Not 100% sure about his end but I picked up from depot.
I also used Toll for a 1300cc Toyota motor (no box) from Hastings to Auckland, that was only about $40 and they picked up and dropped of from driveways. But I used my works account that time.

Yes. I thought that was the case but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks.
