Re: Cabinet Couriers
A couple of people have asked about international couriers but noone seems to have replied. Can anyone recommend a company to go with for having candies sent from the states? Several times Ive been interested in importing one but messing around lookinf for a courier made me not bother. I'd really like to get my mits on some neo candies in the next year, so, anyone?

Re: Cabinet Couriers
For international I recommend IEC (international express co.)
That's how I have had cabinets shipped from Osaka>San Francisco.
Very reliable, fast service. They have their own in house customs brokers.
Took about 10 days for my cab to show up from departure time.

If you don't mind me asking, about how much did this run you to get a cab shipped? I keep lusting after Astro Citys on YJA I have been trying to see how plausible it'd be to actually get one delivered stateside.

Re: Cabinet Couriers
It's probably not worth it for something like an astro ; I did it for a pop'n music cabinet. Price was 1,441.78 incl customs to ship it, after spending 2,000 on the cabinet

Re: Cabinet Couriers
Cool that's about what I assumed. That would technically fit in my budget, but you're right, it would be a bit excessive to spend 4 times as much as the cabinet on shipping.zorahk wrote:It's probably not worth it for something like an astro ; I did it for a pop'n music cabinet.

It's only worth it for music games really because there's no other option.

Re: Cabinet Couriers
Seems legit.
What's the worst that could happen.
Not read much of this thread but £80 is a fair amount for that distance. What time frame was implied?

Personally I wouldn't trust anyone not recommended or fully insured for arcade game transportation. Transporting kitchen appliances is one thing, they can easily be replaced, Japanese candy however...

Re: Cabinet Couriers
Anyone know of a good, reliable and cheap (often not a combination that exists) courier that would be able to ship an Egret II to Germany?
Thanks!

Re: Cabinet Couriers
I would ask Ronnie or moshpit. 180 euro from holland / Germany to the uk, I would hope it's similar the other way round?
You do need to pallet the cab though.
