can anyone help me? Need a courier from IA to MN or WI

It's not too far of a drive...just from Independence (or Dubuque) to the Twin Cities in MN. I'd even go so far as to say that getting it as far as Mankato or Rochester would work - heck, even Milwaukee/Madison will work! (I have family there that visits me often)

Retroarcade is selling some Neon that I would LOVE to put in my new arcade room project, but he's just a bit too far away from me to make the trip practical. Is there anyone who would be willing to assist me in moving this neon equipment closer to me?

His for sale thread:

Please let me know what you need for your help - gas money, monitor repair, heck I'll even give you a burn-free 19" monitor for your trouble.

Thanks for your consideration!
 

No doubt I've thought about it, but packing up all those bulbs and entrusting them to any shipper is pretty much a gamble that neither of us are willing to take. They're just to fragile. They're going to have to be transported in someone's back seat or under a tonneau cover, or in the back of a van, most likely.
 
They use small Econoline vans as well, just make sure you have some moving blankets to use. I used them and sold a bartop game to BongoBen's boss and it only had cost $24 to ship it for the 3 hour drive.. saved me 6 hours of driving.. Look into and see what they can quote you first-- it wouldn't hurt!
 
Either way SpeeDee will need the items packed well before taking them. That's a lot of packaging. Some of these tubes are over 7 feet long.

We buy a lot of vehicles from IA during the course of the year, so I'll see if we're moving anything from that area to here soon.
 
To revive this thread... anyone coming from the Mankato area towards me anytime soon. There's a game I have someone who can hold it for me but I just don't have the time to do 6 hours roundtrip.
