How Much Does It Cost to Ship Arcade Equipment?
The cost of shipping arcade equipment depends on several factors, including distance, size, weight, and shipping method. Arcade machines are large, heavy, and fragile, with delicate screens, joysticks, and wiring that require careful handling. Special equipment like pallet jacks or forklifts may be needed, adding to the complexity and cost. Here are the key factors that impact shipping costs:
- Distance: Local shipments cost less than long-distance or cross-country moves.
- Size & Weight: Larger, heavier machines require more space and handling, increasing costs.
- Shipping Method: LTL (Less Than Truckload) works for single machines, while multiple units may need Full Truckload.
- Packaging: Proper crating and padding help prevent damage but add to the expense.
- Protection: While carriers may have insurance, purchasing the uShip Protection Plan adds an extra layer of security.
- Delivery Options: Liftgate service or inside delivery can add convenience but may increase costs.
- Special Handling: Tight doorways, stairs, or other obstacles can result in additional fees.
- Seasonality: Shipping rates may be higher during peak seasons due to increased demand.
Find Out the Cost to Ship Arcade Games and Machines
While exact pricing depends on the details of your shipment, we can provide estimated costs to help you plan. Factors like distance, size, weight, delivery location, and special handling all influence the final price. For the most accurate quote, list your arcade machine on uShip and compare carrier offers.
Within a State: Expect to pay between $200–$400, depending on distance and accessibility. Urban areas with easy access may cost less, while remote or tight spaces may increase costs.
Cross-Country: Longer hauls typically range from $500 to $1,500+, with larger, heavier machines on the higher end. A compact arcade cabinet will cost less to move than a massive, multi-player unit.
Why Ship Arcade Equipment with uShip?
Arcade machines aren’t easy to move. They’re heavy, bulky, and packed with delicate components like screens and circuit boards. Traditional shipping companies may not have the specialized equipment or experience needed for safe transport. That’s where uShip comes in.
The Challenges of Arcade Game Shipping:
Due to their size, weight, and fragility, arcade cabinets require careful handling. Standard shipping services often lack the expertise or equipment—like liftgates and padded transport—to ensure safe delivery, which can lead to higher costs and increased risk of damage.
How uShip Simplifies Arcade Shipping:
uShip connects you with professional transporters experienced in moving large, fragile items. Just list your shipment with basic details—dimensions, weight, pickup, and delivery locations—and receive competitive quotes from carriers ready to handle the job.
