Best Delivery Service Large Light Parcel Sydney to Melbourne. Suggestions?

Hi all.

I see recommendations for various parcel delivery services here from time to time.

I have a LARGE but LIGHT box I need to send to Melbourne, preferably quickly.

I need to cube for Australia Post so very expensive. I'm flying to Melbourne next Wednesday, so thinking of checked baggage for $27-$30.

Any suggestions for quicker/cheaper? Much appreciated!

      Man, that's outrageous…
      
      I'd expect them to put your parcel on a seat, provide a blanket and read it a story for that money. lol

I dont think you will find less than $30. Just use checked baggage.

Use https://www.transdirect.com.au/ to compare couriers, quick search came up with $28.22 through couriers please. Not cheaper than checked baggage but useful to compare services in the future.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Sendle comes in cheapest at ~$25 for 1000l. However the only size restriction for carry on with Jetstar is max 1 metre any dimension, weight will be well under 15kg, so taking it with me on the plane is after all, the most cost effective. I will keep Sendle in mind for future deliveries. Thanks!
