Pinball courier prep

[Pick Holder]

I used a company called Pack & Send

I got a jukebox from the USA to me in about 4 days - 2 days were basically it being held in customs.

Was about £600.

BE CAREFUL WITH PALLETS !!!!!!!

This is not bulls-hit - if going on a plane you have to use fire-proof treated pallets. Also when Mr Palmer several years ago shipped a couple of pallet loads to Oz, they had to be treated for insects! Different countries have different rules.

This is heat treating to kill insects.

This is good to know, and was exactly the sort of thing I meant when I said “anything else I need to know” - many thanks @Pick Holder

Haha, the shipping company I got the cost from just came back and said this:

In fact, I have had a look at the estimate in more depth and I made a mistake: I did not include the cost of the crating in the original quote, which makes the cost slightly higher, at a total of £2310.75. Apologies for my mistake.
-Collection + packing =£699.91
-Shipping, clearance + onward delivery £1610.84

OMG OMG

“Slightly higher”…??!

I just realised, my quote is from the same company… Asking why such a huge discrepancy now. Appreciate you sharing the cost of yours.

I used pack and send for some art, bullet proof crate, pretty painless except for customs but that was DHL issue, kept charging I to my work.
