I don't have lots of experience here but when I had to ship my first guitar from Brisbane to Melbourne I used Smartsend at the buyer's request and I recall it cost $35.  No problem.  My second guitar shipped was a Strat in the Fender case - again I used Smartsend with no problem.

Gilroy Guitars are the Australian distributors for THD Electronics guitar amplifiers, cabs and accessories.

Oz Guitar Gear Matamp, Optima Gold strings, Klotz titanium instrument cables.  I bought my Matamp 2 by 12 cab from Bernie and he was great to deal with.

Tender Loving Covers. Custom soft/padded amp covers and comfortable guitar straps - seriously!  I have bought three custom amp covers from TLC and I am very happy with their polite service, great product and reasonable charges.  Oh and their straps are comfortable - seriously!

Tym Guitars - Brisbane - Mosrite, custom amps, guitars, cabs and great guitar set up at reasonable prices. Tym's Valley shop is one of the few that are worth going in just for a look.  You will see rare and unusual as well as locally made custom gear.
