Aah! Freight.
We know you hate paying for freight.
Believe us, we understand. If only we could tell you what it would cost, before you placed an order, right?
We wish we could, but here’s the problem.
Our horse owners live everywhere. Not in the cities, but far flung in all corners and smack bang in the middle of our amazing country. Some of you are hours and hours from a metro location. You aren’t on main roads or easy to get to traffic hubs. You and your horses are enjoying the freedom of beautiful fresh air and wide open spaces.
Most of our products don’t fit into neat little postbags. ( Only small numbers brackets, vices and joiners can be sent to PO Boxes) .
For everything else, we’re talking pallets and skids and bulk. We need trucks and forklifts and tail gates. We need drivers that go hours off the beaten track to get to you. These costs add up quickly. Just look at how quickly petrol prices have gone through the roof.
How can we reduce freight charges?
a) If you have a forklift or something that can load the pallet off the truck, let us know. This will drop the cost.
b) If you can collect from the closest depot, instead of having your order delivered to your door, this will definitely reduce costs – sometimes by 50%.
c) We will always give you the cheapest quote available to us, but you are welcome to shop around. If you have a local carrier, get a quote from them and compare.
d) If you can pick up from our warehouse in Wetherill Park, Western Sydney, no freight charges at all.
