transport

If you live interstate from me in South Australia we are able to fly your new puppy to
you using VirginAir. You can either send over your own small solid plastic crate by
regular post for us to use or we can purchase one for you at this end at our best
price (Currently $45.00).
If you prefer to hire a travel crate let us know and we will contact "Dogtainers
Australia" (animal travel agency) who can loan a crate and arrange your transport
for you.

I recently got a shock when sending a puppy to find that Air freight costs for puppies
had risen so below are the current estimates from Virgin to various States as of
December 06.
An 8-12 week Italian Greyhound puppy in a small crate weighs approx 4 kgs.

Adelaide to Perth $77.50 base rate plus $9.45 per kg
Adelaide to Melbourne $77.50 base rate plus $2.89 per kg
Adelaide to Sydney $77.50 base rate plus $4.94 per kg
Adelaide to Brisbane $77.50 base rate plus $6.93 per kg
Adelaide to Canberra $77.50 base rate plus $4.62 per kg
Adelaide to Mackay, QLD $77.50 base rate plus $9.85 per kg (via Brisbane)
Adelaide to Newcastle, NSW $77.50 base rate plus $4.62 per kg (via Brisbane)
Adelaide to Darwin, $77.50 base rate plus $16.17 per kg
Adelaide to Hobart, Tas $77.50 base rate plus $5.25 per kg
Adelaide to Townsville, QLD $77.50 base rate plus $11.55 per kg

Work out your cost and then add 10% for the GST component required by our
illustrious government and you have the amount for transport.
These costs are subject to changes by Virginair at any time.

I will add to this price list as new costs are available to me.
Note... I do not charge extra for the cost of travelling the three hour round trip to the
airport in an effort to keep your costs to the minimum.
I have chosen to use Virginair as they charge an actual per kg rate. The alternative
Australian Air Express (Qantas) charge a rate based on a minimum of 15kgs and do
not allow for the much smaller toy breeds therefore if you wish to use them I am
happy to oblige but please realise that you will pay for the 15kgs even though your
puppy and crate may weigh less than one third that weight.
