The seller would need to organise the flights,check for flights to Newcastle via Sydney from Melbourne on the day selected.He would then have to contact Qantas Freight 131213 and organise a flight plan with the operator and book them in.Qantas freight will in turn send a confirmation email and details of when to have the birds there,usually 2hrs before the flight.It's handy to know when speaking to the operator, the size and weight of the box so they can give you a rough freight price but the box is weighed at the freight terminal and a confirmed price is given.
You need to give the recipients name and mobile number and your name and mobile number to the operator at the time,as there is no more writing on the freight box,all the information will be printed out and it sticks to the top of the box.
Sounds hard but after you have done one the rest are easy. Cheers Craig
