I didnt know where to ask this, so here is good enough as anywhere :) I have a load of camping/climbing gear at my parents house in Scotland that i want to ship over to Tas but the cost of freighting it over seems ridiculous. Does anyone know a cheap method or company that I can get about 20kg of gear shipped to Tas for less than $200 (best quote I have found so far :( ). Cheers.

Hey doogs at $10.00 a kilo it is less than the cost of two Pints or a couple of good coffees and less than a couple of Big Mac meals :?
I know you are a Scot but cheap freight may mean non delivery and its no a banjo you will be wantin but the pipes playing "Flowers of the Forest" do you need a wee whip roon I think I still have a wee silver thruppeny I could sell you :lol:
