shipping query

[Joe]

Call a vending company that deals with arcade games, they usually put the
stuff on
a pallet rotate and wrap then crate (about $50) the ship 100-175.
The receiver usually must pick up at a local cargo hub at an airport to save
an additional $75-175 on a door to door delivery fee.
My 7 foot tall 300 LB Asteroids game was about $175 cross country, plus a
$50 pallet
fee.
Also ask a local car body repair shop, they deal with large delicate parts
all the time.
