Toronto to Edmonton
Anyone have a suggestion on the easiest and safest way to ship a pin from Toronto to Alberta? I'm here in Alberta willing to pay the costs but logistically it's looking like a bit of a headache for me since I can't physically do anything to help.
Ideally, I'd love to just pay the cash to have it picked up, boxed, wrapped, palleted, and shipped. I'm not sure such a service exists but if anyone knows of the easist way to handle this I'm all ears.
I'm planning to look into sameday.ca based on a reccomendation here but have yet to contact anyone for a quote or more info yet.
Thanks!

Re: Toronto to Edmonton
the "picked up, boxed, wrapped, palleted," could be handled by some nice folks here if you ask nicely (and pay ) ...
if they can bring it to a terminal, you've just cut your shipping cost by 3

If this is Pinballed's HS I could probably help him wrap and pallet it.. Stan fire me a PM or a phone call and we'll talk.

This would be wicked. I would for sure pay for the service. (and I can try to ask nicely )Mrhide wrote:the "picked up, boxed, wrapped, palleted," could be handled by some nice folks here if you ask nicely (and pay ) ...

Re: Toronto to Edmonton
It might be. Both Pinballed and another fellow here have one for sale. Pinballed is on the fence whether he is going to sell it or not, but either way I'll need help with the palleting and shipping.machine.slave wrote:If this is Pinballed's HS I could probably help him wrap and pallet it..

I would be happy to pay anyone for their cost and time to help get a machine properly packed and shipped from the Toronto end.
If anyone is interested please drop me a line.
Re: Toronto to Edmonton
well, regardless of who it is.. I should be able to help if they're in the area. We have pretty much everything needed here at the shop.

Re: Toronto to Edmonton
Just go with sameday.ca, you might pay $300-400 bucks but at least it's safe, efficient and right to your door. I did that with my last pinball, and mind you I'm not rich, I'm just cost benefiting time vs. money.

Re: Toronto to Edmonton
What's the deal with sameday? I keep trying to phone and get ahold of someone but I don't have all day to wait on hold. Should I be emailing or what? Anyone have any suggestions?talesofthearabiannights wrote:Just go with sameday.ca, you might pay $300-400 bucks but at least it's safe, efficient and right to your door.

Based on their rates it should be a decent price for To to EDM so I'd love to use them but I can't figure out how.

Re: Toronto to Edmonton
Used sameday a few time and never had issues. $400 seems a little steep from terminal to terminal.

Have you ever had trouble getting ahold of them? I've tried for a few days now here at work and I end up on hold for 15 minutes until I can't justify hanging on any longer.
