This is the correct way to package and pallet a game. SEE PICS AT LINK. This is the only way to ship a game (via NAVL or any other company) Anyone that has used NAVL knows that their definition of covering the game at pick up means tossing one blanket over the game and partially shrink wrapping it. I wont ship a game unless it is packaged as follows: (Packaging and palleting courtesy of Troy Akey (TAKEMAN).)

step 1) Cover game completely in shrink wrap
step 2) Cover game completely in cardboard taking care to wrap carboard around and under the bottom of the cabinet covering all edges.
step 3) Cover cabinet + cardboard (together) completely in shrink wrap once again.
step 4) Place cabinet on pallet with flat piece of wood directly under cabinet
step 5) Strap cabinet down to pallet

Special thanks to Troy Akey for taking extra time and energy to make sure the cabinet was properly covered prior to shipment. Thanks again Troy!
 
Nice packaging job. How long did it take you to UN-package it??? LOL!
 
Its an absolute MINT Gauntlet cabinet (with capability to play Gauntlet 2 by the flip of the switch). 10/10 condition. The game was totally restored from the ground up. New laminated on front and sides, new marquee and front panel decal, perfect original CPO, new side art, all NOS joysticks, sanded and powder coated coin doors, new t-molding, etc etc...see attached pics

thats an ok way to package a game. Looks pretty, but offers no protection from a bump from another package being moved by a forklift driver.

The proper way would be to build a whole box around it. 4 2x4 another pallet for the top,and then some plywood to protect the sides. It would have cost maybe $40 in wood and maybe 1 hour more of work to protect it properly.
