Re: Shipping a Flexowriter

Thank you for the compliments! I'm looking forward to getting it going. Any idea what the model (FIO) indicates? Trying to locate some repair manuals and tips. Anything else I should look for other than what's on Bitsavers? The unit powers up and types with a few keys slow to act or return.

Re: Shipping a Flexowriter

I ended up going with PakMail and was not disappointed. It arrived safe and sound yesterday, and though the cost of shipping was almost as much as the unit itself, I felt much better about paying a little more to make sure it arrived without damage. Pictures are here: https://imgur.com/a/xW480

Re: Shipping a Flexowriter

+2 for Pak Mail. I used their Plainview TX franchise, last year, to send an AS/400e, with expansion chassis, all the way from Texas to Canada. They came and collected it (a 250 mile round trip), built a crate for it and sent it LTL freight. The recipient was happy. On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 2:38

Re: Shipping a Flexowriter

The more quotes I get regarding shipping, the more I'm thinking to just drive the 1300 miles (one way) and pick it up myself. I'd rather nothing bad happen to it, as insurance money can't replace the unit (easily). Any recommendations on finding a private carrier? It's in Colorado. Kyle

Re: Shipping a Flexowriter

If you can guarantee nothing will end up placed on top, it should be fine strapped to a pallet. One thought would be to remove the feet and use the bolt holes to attach it to a square of plywood, then screw that to the pallet. Cinching a strap down over the top of it would probably not end well.
