I tend to use smartsend.com.au or temando. They basically select from a range of couriers and give you a few options. Normally much cheaper than going to the couriers themselves.
Even better (if suitable) is the Australia Post Service www.clickandsend.com.au. I've used it for parcels that fit into the prepaid bags and it is very easy and there's no going to the post office or waiting around for pickup if the item can fit into the mailbox. For a box you'll have to take it to the post office or have it picked up, but it may still work out cheaper.

My favourite options for small eBay parcels are the special rates auspost gives eBay as explained here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/51994

For bigger or weirder shaped objects I use e-go (a division of hunter transport): www.e-go.com.au
They offer great rates which are even better if you can drop off the parcel to one of their depots rather than having them collect from you.
