When asking for a quote, you'll need to know what the dimensions and weight of the item will be *after* it's skidded and wrapped. Generally, a pinball machine on a 3' skid is 36" x 36" by 60" and weighs ~250 lbs. Tell them it's a personal (not a business) shipment and that you don't have an account.
Terminal to terminal is cheapest. I've shipped from London to Calgary and Winnipeg and had no issues. Prices range from $150 to $250 or so depending on distance. The easiest way to do it is to skid/wrap the machine at a business (like where you or a friend works) that has a loading dock and then have Sameday pick it up from there. It's either that or you take the machine and all the materials you'll need to the Sameday terminal and do it there. I don't know how that would work, since I've never done it that way.
Thanks for the input. Sameday's web site seems to be down this week. I got a quote from NAVL at $380+, a bit much, though that was door to door, residential.

I thought NAVL was expensive! Sameday quoted me $428+GST MTL to CGY.

err...pardon my ignorance, but what do you want to send to Calgary? Pin? Arcade? piano?
Is this a home pick-up or 'terminal-to-terminal' ??

Door to door is what is needed, thanks, Pascal. It's your machine I'm referencing. My postal code is T2Y 5A4. If you'll PM me your PH#, I'd like to call you tonight, if that's OK. Greg.
