Is Grange quaffable?
Chief, I will take the handles off and take it to the PO to see how much postage is and let you know.

Had a thought that Sendle might be an option, aarrgh reckons they are good. I think that I will really need to construct a box to ship it in as I am not sure that the Auspost packaging options will really cut it. I am happy to make up something at no charge but how much are you happy to pay for post/freight other than beyond the obvious least as possible?

How much does it weigh? I was thinking that split up into two parcels (one for the cutting head and one for the handles & extra cutters) wouldn’t need much more protection than a few wraps of bubblewrap and might even fit into a pair of flat rate satchels if the head weighs less than 5kg

Hi Chief
The head weighs 4.6kg and the handles probably 2kg. I went to the PO and the head just fits in one of their medium parcel boxes which would cost $16 although I wouldn't be sure that it would survive carrying the head although I am sure that the head won't get broken. To send the handles in a satchel will be around $20, the length being the problem. If I packaged it up and kept the size to 55x24x14cm and 8kg it would be $32. I checked Sendle and you can send 10kg/40L for $11.50.
By the way the handles are 1" x 51cm so you could probably make your own if you had some gal pipe or the like.

I like the Sendle option if that works for you? Otherwise are you happy to just pack the head and cutters and I’ll make handles; they are usually the same tapered threads that the head can cut anyway so no loss.

OK, I will have a go at knocking up a box this weekend. If that fails then we can resort to just sending the head.

Done
