Cheap Grandfather Clock Shipping Services

 

 

 

 

This is an empty grandfather clock case only. No workings or interior parts. Thanks.  

fragile, antique grandfather clock, blanket wrapped, no crating, MUST be kept upright and secured to side of truck interior, not placed between other boxes in the middle of the shipment  

Item is fragile: It has several glass doors as seen in photos. The chimes shown in the photos will be removed, wrapped, and packed in a small home depot moving box ( 16"L x 12"W x 12"H) in preparation for shipping. Clock weight was estimated.  

Somewhat fragile shipment. Weights / Pendulum need to be packaged separately.  

Pickup includes going into a residence and moving the grandfather clock out of the residence, packing it carefully (blankets, bubble wrap, whatever is best to protect it), and then shipping it from Chicago to Omaha. The delivery includes moving the grandfather clock into the delivery residence, and unpacking it. Update: This week yet, pickup can be scheduled Thursday 5/27 between 2-3:30 pm or Friday 5/28 after 2 pm.  

Call before you arrive  

All items are fragile and will need to be handled with EXTREME care. Driver will need to secure load to prevent vibration. Items have been packed properly but driver will be responsible for ANY damages. The grandfather clock is estimated at $3,000.00. This load needs to be hauled INSIDE a trailer and not exposed to weather. This entire shipment can be matched with another load as it will not take up much space.  

 

Experience shipping grandfathers clocks.  

 

I will have a clock specialist dis-assemble the inside weights and properly prepare it for shipping. I will need someone to pick it up from inside the home / heavily wrap it again (on top of my first layer of blanket/bubble wrapping) and ship it please. Thank you!  

 

This clock is a family heirloom, so we need to ensure it makes it to Austin undamaged. The pendulum and weights have been removed. But it will need to be packed up. Blankets will need to be placed inside to provide protection and the rest wrapped to protect against damage. It will need to be transported upright.  

 

Contents of my father's apartment. Upon delivery, items must be carried inside. Desk and credenza go in the basement. I would be happy to assist in carrying items once they arrive in PA. You may pick up as many or as few items as you'd like. There are a few framed pictures and a mirror and a wall clock that has to go, too. I just ran out of time when I was there packing up last week. When I listed the weights of the desk, credenza and grandfather clock, I overestimated to be on the safe side and to not try to mislead or to cheat anyone. The desk is indeed heavy, but I sincerely doubt it's 400 lbs. The pickup location is a roomy second floor apartment in an independent living community. There is an elevator. There are some additional small items, such as a table lamp, a desk lamp and a personal computer, that I chose to add here, instead of creating additional items. Seems easier this way, as I think of them.  

 

Must know how to move a grandfather clock. The movements must be removed before transport.  

Packed VERY securely (all loose parts completely removed) inside & out of clock case with numerous soft foam egg crate sheets. Can be transported standing upright, on its side, or flat on back (as pictured here). Blanket wrapped not necessary. Easily moved with a hand truck. Flexible on p/u and del dates/times: Delivery as late as April 30th. YOUR BEST PRICE PLEASE!!  

This will need to be picked up at a residence, dis-assembled and packed for safe transport, and delivered to a residence. Will need to arrange times for pickup and delivery to make sure homeowners are available.  

Will bubble wrap weights and pendulum and will tape them together ie they will be separate from the clock.  

We will remove some parts that clock will be delivered safe. Thank you!
