I had my 2nd restored game (the black Ms. Pacman) in a month that I shipped with NAVL show up with broken legs and damage to the sides. Uhg!
I usually crank the legs out to give the bottom of the game a good inch or 2 of clearance, hoping to avoid damage to the bottom edges, but I think they are trying to use a fork lift to move them around, which is breaking off the legs. It sounds like it also got bashed pretty good up top some where, but I am waiting to see some pictures.
I would hate to have to put all shipped games on palettes, but maybe that is the only way to get them there safely. I have heard of people shipping pinball games through NAVL with the legs on and head attached. And others have told me they ship large pieces of furniture and pianos without having to pack or protect them in any way.
It sounds to me like they aren't giving arcade games the same tender loving care as other things they ship. I know Michelle with NAVL used to read RGVAC, but I'm not sure if she has made the switch to KLOV. It would be great to get a definitive statement from them on how games should be packed. I will try to get a response from them and post it here, if anyone is interested.
