I am a Japanese pachinko distributor.

Thank you for the reply.
pachinko & 1000 balls & transformer & packing material is about 55 kg.
EMS is up to 30 kg in one box.
I will ship 55 kg of goods in 2 boxes. (Make it a box of about 30 kg & about 25 kg)
This delivery method is the cheapest at the moment.


Please tell me if there are other good delivery methods etc.
Thank you.

That does explain the higher shipping cost because it is two large and heavy boxes. Thanks

Other than EMS and the slow boat I have used Fed-Ex Economy service which is decent for a single box at 43kg. I have also used DHL but at a higher cost for quicker delivery and very few times of a large box being handled.

I for one am willing to pay extra for a better service if the goods are that important to me or to someone else I might be importing for. Having the options of delivery services is good to know for me in getting things into the US.

Agreed, but am I wrong to not want to drop $1000 on a machine that is %50 shipping from an unknown source? That's the issue I have. Not having any visibility into delivery time frame, or guarantee that it will arrive is a bit scary.
