shipping a juke
Okay, so I bought another box. I guess I can be called a jukebox
"collector" since I have more than one now. But this will be the first time that I'll have to have it shipped. I just can't get the time to go and pick it up. So I come to you guys for advice. Have you ever had a box delivered? If so, who do you recommend? I see there's a company called craters and freighters, they're a little pricy bu they box if up for shipping. And then there's Eric's who specializes in jukes. Cheaper but we have to wrap it up for shipping. So what do you recommend. Thanks for all your help Again.... Bernie |

Eric does good work so does C&F but the latter is pretty high.
I also recently used north american van lines to ship a pinball and they came and got it and wrapped it up. It arrived in as good as condition as it left but your mileage may vary Bernie wrote: Okay, so I bought another box. I guess I can be called a jukebox "collector" since I have more than one now.

Thats true... I think his name was John Rabbit or so.... may be out of
business. "Crazy George" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Just out of curiosity, whatever happened to the guy who used to post on here all the time, and trucked back and forth across the country hauling jukes and a few console radios? Don't recall his name anymore. -- Crazy George Also in Texas Remove NO and SPAM from return address "Ken In Texas" wrote in message ... Eric does good work so does C&F but the latter is pretty high.

I use North American Van lines. I purchased a box recently and they wrapped
it with heavy furniture blankets, then followed with plastic wrapping and sealed it. Although the metal pilasters did incur some damage (dented), they were pretty quick to process my damage claim. I think if some plywood or heavy cardboard had been in place, damage could have been avoided. I am having a 1428 moved form NY right now and can let you know how it goes. BTW - NY to TX was $278 including insurance and it is to be delivered to my door within one week. Also have shipped some Wurly OMT's with BAX Global and had good luck as well. Current owner needn't crate, but it helps if they have heavy cardboard available for extra protection. Hope this helps Mike "Bernie" wrote in message om... Okay, so I bought another box.

Wrong answer dude!
Jackrabbit disappeared about 6 months ago with people's machines and money! Last I heard he was making promises to make everything right with people, but I haven't heard that he did.

I don't really want to open this whole can of worms again, but when
JackRabbit came onto the scene everyone was stumbling over themselves to use him because his delivery times were faster than Eric's shipping. A few of us knew that JackRabbit wouldn't be able to sustain his business for long, but we got completely flamed when we stated our opinions on the newsgroups. We were also concerned that unlike Eric's shipping, it appeared that JackRabbit had never really formed a legitimate business and didn't have any insurance! He really took some heat. Now that Jackrabbit has disappeared (supposedly with a lot of people's money and machines) no one wants to talk about it anymore. In all fairness Kevin (JackRabbit) may have worked everything out with the people that he left high and dry and it;s just not been reported on the newsgroups, but I sure haven't heard about that happening. Eric's shipping has been around a long time. They take a while to get machines moved around the country, but I've used them many times with no problems. They wrap the machines with shrink-wrap and blankets and have always been more than fair with me! "Don Lanway" wrote in message t...

Yep, Jack Rabbit's out.
However, I just used TradeWinds in Detroit to pack a OMT up for me. They charged $100 to crate the machine in wood and pack it heavily in bubblewrap, shrinkwrap and cardboard and then deliver it to Pilot Air. I then had it shipped to me to Dallas, Texas through my Pilot Air account. Actual shipping charges was $125, so my total out of pocket was $225 give or take a few bucks.
