Quoted from New_England:I'm currently looking at a machine in Goffstown, NH, and the seller does not want to deliver it to me in Burlington, VT.
I am hoping someone here may be able to deliver it for me or know someone who could. It's not a super long drive so I'd rather not break the bank on a big shipping company, but unfortunately I don't have the kind of vehicle myself to transport it easily.
If anyone here could help me out or point me to the right direction of someone who could, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I'd offer to help myself, as I'm near Goffstown and have family near Burlington but like you don't have the car for pins and don't know when I'm getting up there next.
However, if you think of shipping, you're going to be out a few hundred. You'd also be buying a pin blind, and if you're new to the hobby, should probably be inspecting a major purchase like this before getting it.
My advice would be to take a day and rent an Enterprise truck or cargo van. You can usually get one for less than $100 and make a day trip out of it. You'll be able to inspect the machine, bring it straight back to your house, and probably save a lot of time and money vs. shipping.
