Halfway through the project Telstra Australia<br />
decided that <strong>Mainfreight</strong> International should<br />
handle the customs clearance and delivery to<br />
final sites in Melbourne, as we are so easy to do<br />
business with.<br />
Our Melbourne office swung into action and<br />
completed customs clearance, arranged<br />
delivery of the cell phone towers, overdimensional<br />
shelters and containers – all<br />
to different sites. <strong>Mainfreight</strong> International<br />
Melbourne had to arrange cranes and hiabs for<br />
unloading at the customer’s premises.<br />
