There has been some discussion round this topic before. So try going to the search button up the top right corner and typing freight in. Good luck.

As a ball park figure, It'll cost you around about $80 a box and you can fit a heap of finches in a freight box.

I got charged 90 from Brisbane to Syd for my linnies (after quizzing the air port staff I realised the price was inflated)

Just on the cost ,you also have to consider that the seller has to make the box,then travel to the airport,in my case at least an hour each way,at god only knows what hour,so time and petrol at least would come into it i would think,garyh
