Default Distance from Brisbane to Robina, GC?

Hi,

We are currently getting quotes from shippers and have 99% decided to go with John Masons. However, the quote they have given me only allows for a delivery distance of 30 miles from the port. They have given me another quote for an allowance of 100 miles but this is an extra £100. I was just wondering if anyone could give me the approx distance between the two so I can assess whether I have to upgrade the distance.

Many Thanks

Emma

Hi Emma,

A useful site is:
http://www.mynrma.com.au/maps_maps_australia.asp

If you go to travel info and type in from and to it gives Brisbane to Robina as 82.73 Km and 1.13 hours, so I guess you need about 50 - 60 miles for the journey.

This is an amazing site as it has enable us to plan our east west trip through the tropics and Darwin in detail.

Regards,

Jon

Hi there

I have just put Brissie Airport to Robina into my Tom Tom Sat Nav and it says 1 hour and 9 mins and a distance of 97.6 km's. Also it says there is a toll charge along the route.
Hope that helps.

Nei.

Emma, we are further south from Robina and went with John Mason. Although we are further than 30km or miles (can't remember what the paperwork said) Wridgways who will deal with your stuff this end, will not charge you anything extra. We went with the delivery address of 30 (no one mentioned the 100).

Presumably if your stuff was coming into Brissie but you were going to live hundreds of miles away, they would charge extra but not for the gold coast anyway. Certainly wouldn't bother upgrading.

JM are probably just covering themselves

Have to say they and Wridgways were brilliant from start to finish.
