Hello everyone, This is my first post to the forum. I'm trying to move a TC4 cabinet in Annapolis, MD to Central IL for minimal expense. Are there any recommendations from the community as I start to explore options? Would appreciate any advice or help. Thanks in advance!
 
People on here have suggested Fastenal in the past. I haven't shipped any games (have only rented a U-Haul or borrowed a friend's vehicle to pick them up). I've seen people suggest shipping prices as low as a few hundred dollars for a normal cabinet, but for something larger like Time Crisis 4, I bet you'd be looking at a higher price point. Someone with more experience can give you more info. Also, where in Central IL are you shipping it to? I'm in Urbana.
 
Thanks for the reply. My only arcade moving experiences involved renting a truck / van and driving to pick it up. It's tempting to find a cheap 1-way flight out and take a larger truck back with the arcade, just not sure that option is really cost effective. Was hoping to pay no more than $700 for shipping and I'm not even sure how realistic that budget is given current transport costs. I'm in nearby Peoria currently, before moving here I actually lived in Urbana.
 
If no one else hops in to give advice, just look at some of the "for sale" threads. Some people selling the games offer to ship them, too, and you could probably get some info from them.
 
Fastenal will give you a quote if you know the weight and dimensions, it also has to be secured to a pallet and you have to drop it off at one of there locations and pick it up at another location. I had a guy ship me a cab from Virginia and it was only 200$
