The ones that do keep the container have them for when they choose to sell there machine and won't give them up. Although you can purchase a container from Melco the cost is very high,,,,,even though its is some what broken down the box that covers the machine when folded up still is about 1&1/2 times bigger than the pallet that the machine is place on.It is still rather bulky and takes up a lot of room,which is part of the shipping cost as well. I have picked machines up for customers in the past.Like Roland mentioned the smallest U haul you can get will hold the machine, cart and any accessories that come with it comfortably. If you get a tech,I would recommend the he/she verify that the machine is operational before they deliver it,so that there are no issues "after the fact". Like Rod said, under no circumstances should the machine be shipped on the moveable stand/cart.The cart is sturdy enough for what it has to do in a stationary enviroment.
