I'm based in Hobart, Tasmania and there's no reason why I can't deliver your canoe or kayak or lampshade direct to your door if you live in Tasmania. I've successfully sent a crate containing two Geodesic Airolites to Ireland so I'm practised in export procedures. Air freight is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to ship within Australia. there a re "special" rates for "long, thin" things. For example, a Snowshoe14 from Hobart to Cairns = $360 or a 17ft Baidarka from Hobart to Melbourne = $160. Only a couple of things to remember - (A) there is no insurance obtainable, so (B) packaging is an additional cost, and (C) you have to collect it from the receiving Airport as they do not offer a delivery service. I really should get around to checking Overseas Air freight rates.
