Since selling my last machine. i think its time to get a new one & it seems machines are by and large getting cheaper on eBay. 

Do any of you know of a good reliable courier/man with van etc who can collect & deliver at a decent price? 

Sometimes i hire a van but that generally costs an arm and a leg even just for 1 day,

Looking to spend no more that £50-£60 on courier ideally

I always use Gaming Direct. Usually £65 where ever it is.

Cant really make my mind up as to what I actually want to buy...do i want a £70 jackpot, or perhaps a £500, maybe even a clubber, there's lots to choose from haha.

I was going to go for this

But cant make my mind up, 

 

Might try for a Rainbow Riches...

But i really dont know what the are worth these days, can anyone advise as how much to be bidding on one of these, im guessing they are still worth £300-£400?...

 

This also interests me

However it says QPS which scares me, QPS games always seem very crap to me but it looks alright, looks can be deceiving i suppose!

There are a few but I have used GD so many times. Always a good service. They pretty much take the whole thing off your hands and just let you know when they plan to drop off.

Thats just the ticket, unfortunately they haven't emailed back yet and when I call the phone just rings endlessly, i have tried DHL, FED Ex, but when filling in the dimensions online it seems they wont take stuff with a height of more than 120cm, and fruities are generally 170-190cm i think.

Can anyone else recommend any other companies for the job by any chance?! :)

Take those brackets and dots out. Shouldn't think they'd be happy to get spammed :)

Alright Spa, have sent him a message, do you happen to know how they charge, i.e. is it by distance or a set charge (i.e. they do not care where location is as they run up and down the country each week anyway etc)

Perhaps Gaming Direct no longer operate, can't seem to get an answer by phone or email? Parcel Monkey seem to offer a cheap rate (under £60), but after googling their reviews I am more than a little frightened t use them
