You can ship these in a box if you detach the pedestal and put it on its
side, making sure the main unit is well padded and there is a weight
balance to the box, as you never know from what angle the box will
sit/fall/land/be carried. I shrink wrap the main TTY to ensure it stays
secure, then wrap in layers of bubble wrap and foam. I have shipped five
or six that way. You can also use two boxes. It's very easy to re-attach
the main unit from the pedestal, many have a reader motor in the pedestal,
but you just unscrew it.

How heavy are these things? They look like solid
steel in pictures.
That's one of the things that presents a big problem for me up here in
Canada... shipping from the US has gotten outrageously expensive.
Well for big things shipping I think it is about the same for the last few
years.
It is the US mail that is strange ... $3.00* for 3 weeks or $60 for
overnight. I expect still cheaper shipping than when new. Note you still
need a truck to get from the shippers warehouse.
