That's strange, guess its too late, but Maritime Ontario never charged anything extra for a skid, they preferred to put the pins (in cardboard and pre shrink-wrapped is how I have done it) on their skids for you (and then wrap them again) as it makes it easier to load the trucks, even if they pack more than one persons items on the skid... they keep the skid at the other end.  Maybe it depends what terminal you work out of.


Nope...its the amount of extra floor space "foot print"  that the skid takes up, that they charge extra for.

I'm just saying that this wasn't my experience shipping a pinball and arcade video with MO (they didn't charge anything extra for "skid space" - everything went on a skid regardless), that's all. The price from Mississauga to way out East was about $90 if I remember correctly, but that may have been just before gas prices went through the ceiling.

Dont know....
I'll I know is I called and spoke to some lady who asked for the dimensions and weight of the item being shipped, and then she gave me a price.
Afterwords I asked "so does the pinball machine go on a skid or something", and she said..."we have skids, but they are (such and such) size, so it would cost this other price to ship it like that"....then she gave me a quote number for my inquires.
