HELP: Arcade shipping

[ArcadeHacker]

Hi all, I wasn't sure if this was the right sub forum to post this but here it goes:

I am trying to understand what is the most practical and cost effective way of transporting an arcade from England into mainland Europe.

Any ideas, do's & dont's, shipping company names, past experiences or pricing references are welcome.

Thanks.

if you pay for the ship ticket and the delivery cost im sure Martin might be willing to do it

within th UK he charges around £85 so add to that the cost for the ship and he might be willing

I see, from what I have been able to research a full pallet ranges 200-300 gbp . That gives you a max load of 1200kg and a defined set of dimensions.

Anyone knows if this price range is fair or there's a way of reducing it? What strikes me the most is that shipping from the US into EU is not that much expensive...
