You are most likely going to have to pay for shipping from whatever warehouse or business the container will be unloaded to. The two that have come up from this are Dallas and Seattle. If you are ordering a few cabinets, the cost is marginal for the remaining machines tacked on. You should be able to get a set of machines done door to door for well under $1K.
As of January, one cab from Seattle to Florida was in the $650-$800 range. Just FYI.

Made a post on our company site's blog about the container we just sent out:

I'm sure people may be wondering about the new tariff scheme's potential effect on our business. First off, it seems like the container currently in transit should be exempt because it was loaded onto a ship before the tariffs began. It should be arriving in about a week. Going forward, it looks like we'll be liable for the current 10% tariff on all imports into the US from Japan, so we'll have to incorporate that in pricing. We're thinking about changing our pricing scheme so that freight costs are separated out, since that should mean the tariff obligation is lower.
Naturally, other countries are not impacted. If you are interested in direct LCL shipment or full container to another country, let me know!
On another note, we've been quite successful at restocking our inventory after the container load last month. We're short on New Nets but right now we either have or are receiving:
CRT Cabinets:
- 20+ Astro Cities (mix of MS8 and MS9)
- 20+ Blast Cities (2930/2931)
- ~4x Aero Cities (restored ones coming later)
- 1x SNK Candy 25
- 1x SNK Neo Candy 29
- 1x SNK MVS U4-25
- 1x SNK MVS U4-29
LCD Cabinets:
- 1x Noir HD (bad shape)
- 2x Grigio
- 2x Vewlix L
- 1x Vewlix Diamond Blue
Other:
- 4x UFO Catcher 7
- 3x Taito Groove Partition
- 4x Bemani Sound Separator
You can reach out via DMs or our website contact link to inquire about any of the above or if there is something else you are trying to get.

What are the odds of being able to locate an Egret 29? 
Rough condition is ok, as long as the monitor is good

Close to zero, but we are always looking. If we get one it will absolutely be mentioned both here and in our Discord; you won't miss it! 
To add on to what @aperturegrillz mentioned earlier, it looks like we may be getting a bulk lot of Vewlix Cs in soon. I'm not sure on the condition or price yet but I think it will be "very competitive". We will probably be able to put them on the next container to Seattle or California in about a month or so, so if you are interested in buying any (especially if you want more than 1), feel free to get in touch and we can give you more details when we have them.
Our newest lot of Astros and Blasts is getting shipped to our office on the 26th, so we will be listing more cabs for sale on our website and posting them on here shortly after that date as well. We've had quite a few requests for various things both in and out of stock lately on top of preparing for a potential large bulk order so if either myself or @aperturegrillz have failed to get back to you about something you've asked about, absolutely feel free to prod us again!
There is a good chance that we are going to try and ship not the next container but the one after that to the UK, so if you are a UK member who is interested in any number of cabs it would be great if we could hear from you about it!

I'd say there are a number of people in the UK scene would be interested. There hasn't been a good source of imports from Japan (without doing it yourself) for a few years now. There was a small company called Japanorama, whom I never dealt with by they shut down in 2020ish.Close to zero, but we are always looking. If we get one it will absolutely be mentioned both here and in our Discord; you won't miss it!

I'll join the discord. An Egret 29, or Sega T-13 cocktail table would be the cabs I'd be looking for.
