I'm not sure if there are companies that specialise in this sort of thing. But I've used Fastway couriers to send server equipment around the country (Hawke's Bay to Auckland) a couple of times and have been happy with both the service and price.




Red Jungle: we make fantastic software

Thanks, noted down Smile

My Dell arrived via PBT couriers (hope that name is right), anybody have experience with PBT?

Maybe give PBT a call to see what services they offer - mention that it is fragile and you don't think it'll fare well if it's dropped :)

I'm sure they have a fragile service.

i've had computers delivered from PBT (Peter Baker Transport) before.  I think Paradigm PC's use them (or they at least used to)
