Shipping an arcade game in Ontario

Post by heinekenlvr »

Hey Guys,
I am looking to have a game shipped from around London, Ontario to Ottawa. Any recommendations? I tried U-ship and I have been getting some bids. The lowest bid that I have is $410.00 all in. Is that reasonable?? Is there a better option? I have used terminal to terminal in the US but never anything within Ontario.
Cheers, Mike.

Day and Ross is much cheaper than that, but will not insure, you'll need to rely on your home insurance to cover it.

Call the Sameday 1-800 number. Dont use their online form..
Sameday is Day and Ross.

They quoted me $182 tax in to ship a pin from Saskatoon to Ottawa - terminal to terminal

Thanks for the info. Will they pick up or do you have to drop off at one of their terminals??

I'd go Day & Ross, but check Maritime Ontario as well.

Terry Edwards is a well known arcade guy that lives in London. He just mentioned a few days ago that he will be heading out to Ottawa shortly for family stuff and specifically mentioned he had room for games on the way out there.
