The transit between CHC and BNE is roughly 6 days plus about 5 on either side for packing/unpacking. Once we get all this sorted out it will probably be around about the 5-6 week mark I'd say. hahaha there's abou 50 of those boxes in our warehouse atm.. unfortunately they wouldn't be strong enough. Not to mention the airlines wouldn't be to happy about that... |

probably cheaper/easier to just steam clean those bloody engines and put them in wooden crates instead!

My engine was sent steam cleaned in a MAF approved engine crate.
From memory the crate cost me $150. Chewy, I should hear back on your engine tomorrow if I am lucky. |

Well im leaving for NZ in the morning and will be buying the engines later this week so I shall be taking lots of pics.
I dont what kind of internet I will have so I dont know how many pics I can upload. I will have my phone and will check AGT so if anyone wants anything or the find something on www.trademe.co.nz that they want we can ship it at the same time as the engines. So get shopping everyone. Should have thought of this months ago LOL, PM, SMS or email me your requests. |

ok guys, ETA for the vesel which our superpallet is going to be on is 21/4. We should be able to get it delivered around 25/4 if AQIS doesn't want to look at it (hopefully not, saves us money)
I figured it'd be cheaper for me to organise delivery through one of my transport buddies than take the day off and arrange to pick it up from the depot as it's only going to cost $75 to deliver it at most (depending on where we are dropping it off) Big question- WHERE ARE THESE ENGINES BEING DELIVERED? |
