Which service is best for shipping Pachinko machines in the USA

[Ahab]

Hello everyone,

I have a modern machine that I am considering putting up on Ebay. I have a good idea how to pack the machine for shipping, but I have no idea who to ship it with. Which service is best for shipping modern Pachinko machines in the USA? Any thoughts on insurance would be welcomed too. Thanks for your input.

Parcel Monkey is the cheapest, so far..

size is important when shipping .. a pachinko is right on the bubble if it is packed to big it will be oversized and cot hundreds..

if you use used boxes the insurance is void.. if you pack it with to little space on the inside the insurance is void.. if if if if..

i take it to my local pack and ship place.. they charge me 30 or 35 to box it up and pack it right.. if there is a problem... its there problem..

when i sold a machine on ebay i took it in asked for a quote to ship it to Maine.. (that's the furthest I'm willing to ship from Cali..) then post that as my shipping rate and tell them if it less ill refund..

My 2 cents..

If you have a PayPal account you can ship through them and get a deep discount on FedEx. I will often use this when shipping machines. Or if I am having someone ship me a machine, I will print the label and send it to them because it is less expensive than having them use a standard FedEx shipping rate from the FedEx store and bill me for it. It also helps ease a potential sellers worry about getting paid for shipping if I let them know I will provide the label so all they need to do it package it and drop it off. The link is a little hard to find though so I pasted below.

You have to pay for it with funds that are in your PayPal account so you either needs to have funds there, transfer funds there from your bank account, or you can go someplace like your local CVS and you can use your debit card to add funds to your PayPal account if you don't want to wait a couple days for the bank transfer.
