I suppose it will make a difference if the person arranging the shipping is
familiar with crating and preparing a jukebox for shipment.  If the seller
can prep the juke (i.e. tighten shipping bolts, fasten everything that is
loose or can swing, pad or protect delicate trim and surfaces, etc.) and
build a sturdy crate, then you might want to look for a freight consolidator
(sometimes called shipping consolidator) in the Philly area.  They specialize
in aggregating various less-than-container loads into containers going to
various locations, either by sea or air.  Google or the yellow pages
can find these sorts of shippers, I reckon, but don't expect them to crate
and prep for you.
