Advice for shipping a smaller cab from Japan>USA (California

Post by Battlesmurf »

Does anybody have any pointers with this? The cab will be at a friends house, I'd like to get it to my house.

Thoughts? Thanks!

I know it's going to be more than the cost of the cab, but I want the job done right.

I have a thread in the arcade-projects website where I am trying to do the same thing:

So far it's not looking good.

Container shipping is prolly your best bet. There should be plenty of companies that specialize in freight shipping. For example some of them provide services for people looking to move from one country to another. You tell them the physical dimensions of your shipment, pluswhere it is going and they give you a quote. Some times there are additional charges at the port of arrival.
