Re: Qualified shipper for sending IBM i from Chicago to Salt Lake

Judging by this, it may be cheaper to simply send the backup tapes by regular mail and but a new Model 820 at the other end. They sell used for less than $1000.

Cross country shipping making a stop somewhere is not unreasonable. They might have piggybacked it on a train to CA and then on from there. Much like a flight from Fort Wayne to Cincinnati making an overlay in Orlando - now that's unreasonable.
Was the shipment timely? Was the merchandise in good condition? Then this concerns you, why?

Compass wise CA is only a few degrees off from WA when starting in Chicago.

Well. while it was only 2 business days late, the fact neither IBM or the shipper could give us the same delivery 2 times in a row. Also the client wasn't overly impressed with his $200K+ computer system wedged in between someones household goods.

Since the machine to the LA area it probably 30 degrees off... :)
