Hi everybody..
What is generally the approximate cost of safely having a 1980′s retro arcade machine (pac-man/Defender/Space Invaders etc) shipped from USA-London,UK?..Can anybody reccommend any reputable trusted companies that ship/freight safely and securely from the USA…Does it usually depend on which USA state it comes from?
Can you have the shipment sent to Dover or Southampton,UK?
Thanks,much appreciated

No matter what answer you receive here the only real answer is from the courier. I would recommend DHL. I’ve done a return shipment from Singapore to Moncton Canada, 18 tons at $98,000 one way. But the biggest problem was handling at transient points.
If cost is not an issue you should pack your machine and let them handle it.
You need to determine the weight and dimensions of the machine. However, you can get a US address at Bongo International and have the seller ship the arcade there. They will ship it internationally for you at a very low price. Take a look at their site. Their rates are located at
