Ridiculous price to courier one tyre?

Hi, anyone couriered one tyre recently from Auckland? I want a tyre sent from Auckland to Levin, a simple 165-14 tyre which matches the ones I have, but couriers/shipmytrade want $70. Pass the parcel don't do tyres. surely I would have thought about $20? Cheers

Jez I could that get on my courier for $12 Hamilton to wellington

Which courier do you use jason? Yeah $70 is way too steep!

Ask the car wreckers who they use.

I have always used Fast Ways Courier's in the past and have always been around $10-$20 a tyre,

Yeap I use fastways mate.

$70 sounds like NZC
Fastways = good for sending tyres/mags etc

Where is tyre ? I'm going up to Auckland on Tuesday to ponsonby for a traffic management course. I could pick up and send from Hamilton ?

Hi Jason, thanks for the kind offer, but I'll organise Fastways to pickup from my end (as there is another tyre I'll probably get from another seller). but appreciate the kind offer, mighty good of you! Cheers

OP 4 weeks ago I couriered a large BMW alloy & tyre from Auckland to Otaki for $25.00. Fastway.

Conroys trans port they pickup deliver d-d half the price of couriers but takes 4-5 days usually until they have a decent load going down , Used them a lot for large items .

hahaha no doubt I bloody will. I'm not even involved in traffic management but sometimes when I set my cherry picker up I set cones out lol
