I recently bought an on-topic frame from somebody in Australia, and need to get it from Canberra to outside Melborne (where a friend of mine will bring it stateside next time he flies over). I've been told by the seller that bike frames are too big for Australia Post, and that there's no equivalent of UPS or FedEx.
Can somebody who's familiar with shipping things around down under please advise me on who/what to point the seller to? Will the "Couriers Please" method work, even when Canberra isn't one of their home cities? What are the names of other plausible options?
Somebody must know this off the top of their head, and can save the seller some time and frustration in trying to figure it out.
Thanks much.
