[QUOTE="Grounded, post: 112819, member: 3465"] Don't want to put it down - but unless you have something worked out with freight - you're going to get slammed! I imagine without researching it - possibly the freight will be around 2/3 of the cost of the unit. But that depends on the size/weight combination as packed for shipping. Many of the freight companies will not ship engines with any oil in them, or even if in a container. Some will. Fore warned is fore armed. Don't forget that GST is calculated when you kick over AUD$1000 - that is the cost of the unit and the freight combined. You need to find a friend who ships in containers with a spare spot for you - so you can diffuse most of the shipping, port charges, customs broking etc etc. LCL with commercial shippers - don't forget all the "forgotten" charges that include quarantine if needed, customs broking, port charges and handling etc.......you quickly understand why people will do 20" containers to offset the excessive costs we have in Australia..... Research is the key - don't pull the trigger until you know exactly what you are up for. [/QUOTE]
