Title: How do you ship machines. Post by: loman4ec on November 03, 2005, 11:47:34 pm I bought a jacobs 56 today in Miami and I need to have it shipped to Memphis. The owner has no way of palleting the machine or transporting it to a dock so I need a company that will pick it up. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

You can also pay for the shipping COD with cash, check whatever you like which makes it awesome. I missed your phone call last night was this your question? Just give me a call whenever you get a chance

Title: How do you ship machines. Post by: loman4ec on November 04, 2005, 10:56:50 am Well I set it up. They are going to pick the machine up on tuesday and I should have it by the end of the week. It ended up being $333.66 total. That is a great price since they pick it up at the sellers place and it doesn't have to be packed or wrapped or palletted at all. And they drop it off at my door step and I can pay cash COD. Not a bad deal. Yes Forward air would have been about $175 less but then you have to pay for the machine to be palleted and then pay them to drop it off at the dock and then I have to drive 20 miles to get it. There is also the problem of possibly having a damaged machine with forward air. I think this is the best way possible. What a deal. I can't wait to get my Jacobs 56.

I've been using them for transporting the arcade games and pinball machines that I have sold as of late. They're even based in your (very short term) hometown of Eagan, MN! Title: How do you ship machines. Post by: loman4ec on November 09, 2005, 09:55:34 am I do remember you saying that but I thought they would be more expensive than that since this is such a far trip. They should be picking it up today!!!

They prefer them uncovered and then they wrap them and carefully transport them. I've never had a complaint. |
