what company can i trust to ship it that wont cocst me too much $$$?

When I moved from Seattle to NY, I shipped most of my stuff by Greyhound. I don't think I had anything as heavy as what you've got but I think it would be ok. I don't know if they go to Canada though.

[fuckface]

greyhound said no one piece can be over 75lbs

You could try FedEx Freight. I'm not sure if they ship to Canada and it's not gonna be "cheap" but it's worth a shot.

for some reason it won't let both the destination and the origin city be in canada... this is such a pain in the ass... i thought i found the right phone # then i was transferred 3 times and by the end of it i wasn't sure wich company i was on the phone with. plus they said they dont offer insurance on personal shipping, so forget that.

has anyone shipped a console before? anyone??!?!??!

please help!!

I'm sorry to break this to you, but there is no inexpensive remedy here. I would call a common carrier like Yellow frieght. Make sure to ask them about their crating requirements and to refer you to a crating company. When all is said and done, you may find it less expensive to rent a truck on your own and just go pick it up.

Good Luck,

Maybe just rent a U-Haul?

Check out DHL and BAX Global. They both offer freight services for large stuff, and can do lift-gate pickup and delivery.

You're going to need a crate & pallet, probably.

By the way, fuckface, what kind of board did you get???

Inquiring minds want to know.

soundcraft 600 w/patchbay

thanks, ill try those companies

BAX shipped my 600 w/patchbay from Halifax to Boston. It was crated, with a couple other boxes shrinkwrapped to the crate.

Crate ran maybe $70, shipping something like $350.

It spent about 6 hours total in transit.

I've used BAX quite a bit for various offices where I've worked, and had good luck with them.

I also like Target Logistic Services, but I've only used them domestically.
