[AusNOG] Interstate Server Shipping

[Chris Macko]

Hi Guys,

Best recommendation is to insure everything using Vero transit insurance     :-)

The nature of the business is that any company will eventually have issues.

We had Cope destroy a >$1 million dollar system by dropping it off the back of a truck, yet I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them in a heart-beat as I've seen them deliver thousands of other systems without issue.

One or two issues might be painful at the time, but as a part of the bigger picture they do happen.

  Scott.

We use hunter (e-go) on a daily basis for the past 18 months never any problems.

This includes interstate as well as same day metro.

If you package the stuff properly it comes through fine - I have used Hunter / e-Go many many times and it's all in the packaging. If you give them something heavy and it's not shrinkwrapped down to a sturdy pallet that is either of the same dimensions or bigger, you're just asking for someone to mangle it with a forklift. Doing depot-to-depot deliveries also greatly reduces the risk of damage as linehauls have to be loaded carefully anyway (compared to the courier runs).


Regards,

Jacob

Don't 'even' use Hunter Express for sensitive items 'ever' if you can avoid it.

I have had servers arrive that are bent and wont sit flat once rhey arrive and the last time I used them in quite some time but the last time we did it was from Sydney to Melbourne for a Cisco 7200 that had it's box trashed and something heavy wall on it enough that it was not square anymore so would not rack mount, they are 'shocking'.

I have used e-go (http://www.e-go.com.au) for personal things in the past which is just a web front to Hunter Express. Door-to-door is fairly cheap, got a rack sent from the Blue Mountains to Canberra for $70 once which was door-to-door.
