Anyone Shipped a Game from Canada to the USA and any tips for packaging

Hello hoping i can get some advice on both companies that you have used or can recommend to ship a cocktail game from British Columbia, Canada to PA.

Also does anyone have any advice for packaging it for the least possible chances of damage. I will be putting it onto a pallet, and strapping it, but any advice it appreciated.

Thank you
 
when I bought my very first game (as an adult) I bought a cocktail tron.
The guy built a wood box for it. Very nicely made. He strapped the game to the floor of the pallet and had a box built around it so the game could not move, and virtually guaranteed that it would not be damaged. He also put carpet on the inside of the lid of the box to make sure the top glass didn't get any unnecessary scratches, etc.

If you want to ensure it arrives safely and NOT have to deal with insurance etc. Put a few bucks and a few hours extra into building something rock solid.
 
Thanks for that info! I was thinking about doing something just like that. Strap it to a pallet, cover in foam and bubble wrap and build a box around it. the carpet is a good idea also.
Certainly worth taking the time to do it right. Thanks for the input! :)
 
I shipped 2 games from Canada last year using freighquote.com. They were the cheapest at just over $500.00 from seller in Canada to a terminal in GA.
