I asked on performanceforums, and this is what Madhatr had to say...

NQX have have excellent service, pallet freight (standard sizes, dead freight) which you would usually send engines via is very cheap, i cant imagine it would be any difference with TOLL.
Only downside is they dont really deal with members of the public, but they dont ask for your ABN or anything, so when getting a quote (or sending an order), just make up your own business name or possibly use the name where you work. It is no big deal with them anyway.
As with most companies you can either pre pay or you can wait until pickup and pay for it at one of their distributors/depots.
http://www.toll.com.au is them, you probably want the regional service here http://www.toll.com.au/contact/long_ft.html
,barnetts here in sydney will freight the engine strapped to a small pallet for approx, 
the compression tester apparently needed is motorbike compression tester 
, i did redo the test using a very old push in compression tester, i a got similar reading to before around the 85-90psi on average,but the engine does'nt spin as fast as i would expect as the battery i'm using is'nt the best, the test went like this number 3 cyl gave 100psi then number 2 cyl gave 85psi and number 3 around 78psi but the engine rpm's by this stage had reduced significantly as battery was starting to go flat and the more i did the comp tests the slower the engine turned over.
