Lawn Mower Courier & Shipping Services

Lawn mowers are heavy, awkwardly shaped, and often contain hazardous materials, whether that's residual fuel and oil in petrol-powered models or lithium batteries in cordless units. Shipping one without the right expertise can lead to transit damage, safety issues, or regulatory complications. That's where a managed logistics approach makes all the difference.

PACK & SEND provides dedicated solutions for people who need to courier a lawn mower safely and efficiently, whether you're selling online, relocating, or sending equipment to a job site. From compact push mowers to large ride-on machines, every shipment is individually assessed and coordinated through our specialist team.

We pack with precision. We send with confidence. And we handle everything in between.

Step 1: Prepare Your Lawn Mower

Proper preparation protects your equipment and ensures compliance with transport safety requirements. Before shipping, take the following steps:

• Clean your mower thoroughly to remove grass, dirt, and debris;
• Photograph the mower from multiple angles and record the serial number;
• Drain all fuel and oil completely from petrol-powered models;
• Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting;
• Remove the blade, handles, and any loose attachments;
• Wrap sharp components in protective material.

For battery-powered mowers, note the battery type and capacity, as these are classified as hazardous goods and require Service Centre handling.

Thorough documentation provides peace of mind and helps verify your mower's condition before transit.

Step 2: Package Your Lawn Mower

Lawn mowers need robust packaging to withstand the demands of freight transport. The blade housing, engine components, and exposed surfaces are particularly vulnerable to impact and vibration during transit.

Utilisingprofessional packing significantly reduces the risk of damage, especially for heavier or more valuable units. Our experts assess your mower's size and weight, then design a custom packaging solution, which may include palletising, bracing, custom foam protection, or specialist crating to keep the unit stable and secure throughout its journey.

If you've already packed your mower securely, we can collect it as-is. Otherwise, visit your localPACK & SEND service centre and we'll handle the packaging for you.

Step 3: Ship Your Lawn Mower

Due to the weight, size, and potential hazardous nature of lawn mowers, we recommend contacting your nearest service centre directly. Our team will assess your mower and discuss the best transport method, arrange pickup from your location, and coordinate delivery with up-to-date tracking and milestone updates throughout the journey.

Cost to Courier a Lawn Mower

The cost of shipping a lawn mower depends on several factors, with no one-size-fits-all pricing. Key considerations that influence your total cost include:

• Weight and packed dimensions of your mower
• Destination: local, interstate, or international delivery
• Speed requirements: standard, expedited, or express service
• Packaging level: basic protection versus custom crating or palletising
• Optional warranty cover for high-value equipment
• Access constraints at pickup or delivery locations

FAQs

Do I need to drain fuel and oil before shipping?

Your PACK & SEND service centre team will advise on any additional preparation steps based on your mower's type and destination.

Can you ship battery-powered lawn mowers?

Yes, but cordless and battery-powered mowers contain lithium batteries, which are classified as hazardous goods. These shipments must be handled through our service centres to ensure proper documentation and compliance with transport regulations. They cannot be booked via online self-service.

Do I need to crate or palletise my mower?

Our team will advise on the best packaging approach based on your mower's size, weight, and destination.
