The 3 or 4 plus 40 foot containers that Bruce and Joe have organised are seafreight and not airfreight ofcourse. There will be 40 plus machines per sea container.
 To send a machine by airfreight is around $1000.  If u got the worlds best deal, as low as $800 to $900.  Seafreight rates get down to around to $300 to $400 a machine incl landing etc.
   It never pays to send that many machines ever by air-freight.  Machines are only airfreighted when people want the machines yesterday, versus in 5 or 6 weeks, but it adds to the purchase price, hence the AC/DC Pro is $5950 and not the standard $6350.  The $400 saving is only because of the seafreight rates etc.

I'm that keen I'd pay the extra $400 to have it sent by air :)

U are definately correct, 44 machines in a 40 footer are unboxed 2nd hand dmds excl pin2000 from Europe, with maybe a few more projects crammed in. 
Yes, u would get more in a container if u packed to the roof with Stern boxed machines. With those amounts, I would think it would make it cheaper with more pins in a container. I spoke to a company in the USA today about freight generally, and the prices have levelled out with a slowing transport market. Oil prices are up, but seafreight companies have slowed the fella was telling me, as well as 3/4 full planes only, making prices more competitive.
    Airfreight on standby rates (sits there for 3 or 4 days til a unused opening becomes avail) can be had for $800 to $900. Depends who u use, so many variants/different companies/where the machines are etc.

*I try to buy USA machines from L.A cause its so close to the seafreight terminal, saving $400 to $500 from Central USA inland truck shipping..

Look forward to the photos. Thankyou for sharing. That would be a fun day at Joe's place 4 sure. ^^^

$800-$900 plus US inland freight , clearance fees , airport charges , Doc's etc , GST .
If you get it less the $1500 your doing ok.

I've done it heaps of times .

U are correct Tony, it gets expensive when the pinny catches a flight from near Stern. The inland distribution for Stern to the USA works well cause they are in the middle of the country, but when sending out of the USA, the inland position just ratchets up the costs unfortunately.

Also, on another good note, a friend of mine here just told me he ordered a AC/DC Pro which i was told tonight, which is excellent news. I am glad he also found the new Stern to be a winner like a few members have. Its his first NIB Stern (but not his first pinny by a long shot) so it will be great to see him unboxing his new machine as well.
April will be fun time for the forum with alot of people hopefully taking photos/videos etc.

After consultation with Nick, we decided to clean up a couple of pages of "off topic" banter that was best suited somewhere else. Our apologies in advance to anyone caught in the crossfire. No ones to blame here, we just believe that the thread needed some "guidance" back to the Topic.

Just for the record - who here has ordered an AC/DC ?
