Couriers charge by volume as well as weight. We, a Stihl/Honda dealership, often get charged seemingly exorbitant amounts for freight. It is what it is. Hunting and Fishing this week charged me $70 to ship a shotgun to Tauranga H&F. Was in it’s original packaging but they added xtra padding as protection. A bit steep but saves the hassle of organising transport with random (uninsured) people. Just remember, it costs $20 to courier a single packet of primers from Gunworks to Blenheim. You really want to need them at that rate!
