[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 77816, member: 468"]I tried to figure out here where you are to no avail so perhaps the new arrivals at Mars will need furniture..... ;) This being unlikely I will guess the USA. :) Though not fully trustworthy, search out some packers and shippers in your area and YELP them or just go online and search reviews. If there are other biz you are familiar with, with similar needs, ask them who they use. I used to ship fragile signage and Yellow Freight was the best for cost and no issues but this has been awhile. Rontra is great but I've no idea if they are all around the country. They would pick up & pack, or pick up my crates, and ship out by air freight. The point is shipping biz are familiar with stuff so can give you an idea. Tell them what it is, guess the weight packed and get a price the furthest away in the US from you...or wherever you are. ;) If these pick up pack it for you it is their liability not yours. If you pack it...well... Explain exactly in the sales info in that it is only an estimate. If they want it they will work with you and/or set up their own methods to get it.[/QUOTE]
