Anyone know where I can purchase Caputo Fiorglut gluten free flour? Preferably in the west or south east. Everywhere is online and while 1kg is $20, they charge $10-15 for delivery so would be great to have something local

That would be fine if you could use the same permit for moving it from A-B and getting it ready for registration but they want two separate permits for that

The time frame isn't too bad, it's $50 for 1 day but only ~$1 extra per day on top so the upfront cost is frustrating but requiring two permits is the frustrating part because they're used for the same purpose i.e. full TAC compliance.

Interesting. I just activated a new SIM yesterday and haven't used it anywhere. Less than 12 hours later I get my first spam call!

I have to purchase an unregistered vehicle permit from vicroads. Anyone hate how you have to purchase a separate permit to move it from point A to B and also to get it roadworthied/registered?

I have to move it from the depot to my home (1 permit) then from my home to the mechanic/vicroads (1 permit). They double dip on the permits, will cost me $100 instead of $50 :/

Anyone know where I can purchase 1 small (~5mL) travel amber glass spray/atomiser bottle at a retail store anywhere either close to Highpoint or the inner city?

Exactly like this, unfortunately any that are available are like 50mLs or so but I just need a tiny one

Reposting this for visibility

Does anyone have recommendations for couriers they use to buy second hand goods from interstate?

I’m looking to buy a device from Gumtree/Marketplace that can weigh up to 20kg and in a (relatively) decent sized box ~(70cmx40cmx40cm)

Looking for services (not necessary) they offer like:

  • either picking up from the person's house or they deliver it to a location
  • they can pack it for you
  • method of payment to the seller otherwise I'd have to trust the other party to ship it off

I tried looking into backloading but it seems like too much trouble for minimal savings. Looked at courier sites and wasn’t sure if I was doing it correctly but it was estimating ~$80 which is actually not too bad. Would much rather go off of recommendations.

Was recommended Couriers Please but it depends on the franchise

Thank you, I'll see their prices and how they operate to see if it fits the requirements

Can anyone recommend a place where I can borrow tools for a one time use? I'm working on the lawn soon and need one-time things like a lawn leveler/soil spreader, pitchfork, crimper etc. Really not interested in purchasing one even second hand just to use it once :/

Are there services that pick up from the persons house or would they have to go into a place to ship it off? They tend to stay on the market for a while so I'm sure the person wouldn't mind.

My concern is also payment, I essentially have to trust the other party to ship it off once paid.
