I'm on the east coast of Canada. I do help ship pins in Canada using Day & Ross Transport. I get decent commercial rates shipping pins back & forth for myself & others. Depot to Depot. I get decent rates going to Marco Specialties with my shipping box on a skid. Let me know If I can possibly help out. Day & Ross interlines in western Canada & the USA.
You should be able to reach out to someone in the Toronto area to get the pin to the depot & prepared on a skid. MAACA is the Canadian Forum we use. Halifax is a major shipping port, so it might also be able to get on a container to Australia from here or onto the USA port. We have numerous household moving companies located here that might be going there also.
In the past I have said that if a container load of pins was available from our biggest operator Central Amusements (New Glasgow, N.S.). I would help out to get the deal done & make sure that I was present for loading of pins. They still have many pins & the operation side is just about dead. They haven't allowed the local collectors into the warehouse the last number of years since ownership changed hands.
http://centralamusement.com/aboutus.phpI was there years ago, & since that time they got rid of another huge other warehouse that had jukeboxes, vids. The remaining warehouse was reduced in size, had mostly mid 80's or later pins. Lots of EM's & bingo, no wood rails. Most of the EM stuff I think is the previous owner who spends time in Florida. So there might be a chance to finally get these pins sold. Myself & others purchased most of the early electronic pins from 1978 - 1982.
