Courier for halfstack, JHB to CPT

nazarene

Hey guys

Does anyone know of a good courier that would be able to ship a halfstack from JHB to CPT without breaking the bank or the amp? Its a peavey 6505 head and cab.
I just cant find anyone that ships items of this dimensions and weight. And many companies require you to have an account with them.

Thanks in advance!

I have used Timefreight extensively over the last few years. Efficient and I haven't found them expensive. I recently shipped a baby bed, compactum and cot, flatpacked to JHB and IIRC it cost me around R350. If you know the dimensions and weight go to their website for a quote

You can also try MDS coliviery, recently couriered a guitar in case at a very reasonable fee and with care (Which in my books outweighs the cost issue).
Good luck

I've also used Time Freight and had no issues to date. Last time I looked they were comparatively well-priced

I wont use them again, they pretty much ripped a big junk of tolex from the top of my cab, and the head, while it was bubble wrapped pretty good had a ton of damage on the bubble wrap, imagine if it was like only in a box, screw them! a budy of mine had a big printer couriered by them and they damaged the printer as well.
