Default Cheapest Air Freight for very heavy box

I have a large heavy flight case that I need to move from the UK (Sheffield) to Sydney.

It weights 40 kilos (maybe a couple more) and dimensions are 90cm * 40cm * 55cm. This comes outside the realms of online calculators.

Any recommendations on a good place to ask for quotes, I'd prefer for it to come via air freight than wait for a shipment?

You'll probably find the freight element is cheap. It will be the $400+ that will be charged for clearance through the airport, paperwork fees, AQIS, etc.

THanks price was definitely competitive, parcel being picked up soon so hopefully we'll have it in a couple of weeks

The great thing I found was that you can track it all the way, amazing how quick it gets where it does.

Good luck
