Yep, that costs the same shipped from pretty much anywhere. Regional hubs are $50-100 cheaper but getting them there balances it out. To give you an idea, if I shipped to SF for example, it's no cheaper or only a few dollars cheaper than shipping to say VA. They have a minimum cost per order, which is why 1 cab is roughly $500, and two cabs to the same location would be roughly $20 more

Cool yeah we're on the same page. :)
 
Thanks for putting this together. two player panel on my NNC please. Thanks!
 
@Cereth, I have a buddy that has a business in Fremont. It's about 20-35 mins south of the port of Oakland. If I actually end up getting two cabs, he is getting one of them so he may be willing to lend a hand. He does have a dock. And by dock, I mean, he has two ground level roll-up doors at his business.
  1. Does the lack of shipping height dock pose any problems with unloading the shipping container?
  2. How many pallets are coming off the container to Oakland?
    1. I know my buddy has lots of spare floor space, but not sure how much space.
    2. But, if trucks are going to pick up the pallets once they come off the shipping container anyway, we can always park them outside for a short time and load from there.
    3. Of course, would have to coordinate the effort so they don't stay outside if they have to be left outside.
Anything else that needs consideration before I approach my buddy about this?

P.S.: Heck, depending on how generous my buddy is with using his business, might just ask him if he is willing to allow the cabs to be distributed to members from his business. Save you a trip with your trucks too. But of course, the other members have to be cool with this too since things have already been planned out. Just a thought for now.

If that works out, count on @theoddtech and I for extra muscle loading/unloading. A chunk of a day's work for not driving another 6-8 hours is cool by me.
 
If it's a friend's place with space and time to work, we can do without a dock. You'd just need to load the cabs into the back of a 26' back to back, and use the lift gate to lower them. Just need to be ready to pump it out as fast as possible. Nothing will be palleted. Once the container is empty, we can take whatever time we need or have to sort where they go. If he could store for a while that would be helpful! I could help all the arrangements for pick up, maybe be in the area when it happens but idk my schedule that far out yet.

Double up that travel time since there is the return trip to factor in too. So yeah, pick up from Oakland would be better definitely for you, me, and theoddtech but we won't do it unless it is best for everyone. Muscle is always welcome, but we might need an extra full sized pallet jack or two. Don't know for sure if my buddy has one at all.

Out of curiosity, how many cabs are you picking up for SoCal members?

3 or 4. Depends on if @theoddtech ends up with one or not.

2 for me, 1 for our islander friend.

No palletjack needed as nothing will be on a pallet.

It's actually only a 120 mile round trip difference it seems to go to Reno vs Oakland it seems.

Its not bad at all depending on the time of the year thru Donner Pass. Only other thing is traffic once you hit like Vallejo depending on the time. But I'm sure @Cereth is use to it.

If it ends up being Reno I'll just take the 395 straight up. There's no sense going through the Bay Area from where I live, it'd just add several hours.
 
Alright, Fremont is out of the picture due to timing. My buddy would like to help, but seeing as he creates packaging for all manner of products, November and December is his busy season and he can't fit it in.

Back to Plan A for us local picker-uppers.

Since you guys are getting a bunch of these, voyou1 is gauging interest on AO for an extra wide Q25 three player control panel repro:

That price without even an overlay though :(.

You know you'll get 1 :D

It's highway robbery, but really what are your other options? :D

On the other other hand, without artwork for the overlay, it's almost entirely useless until someone publicly scans one?
 
Be careful with that seller he screwed over a friend of mine on some stuff.
