[rescue] Anyone in Rhode Island that can help with shipping a SS1000?

[ab1244]

SS1000 is UPSable - 20x20x8in, 75lbs per the Sun docs. I worry the SS1000
falls into a bit of a donut hole between UPS and freight - it needs to be
packed rather well to survive UPS, but is small enough that I worry it may
get trashed if trying to use a mover or freight shipper and too small to
make these services worth it. I'm going to try and see if I can find a
service that will go to Mike's house and grab both machines and then UPS.

Dave - thanks for the tip on plastics
