I have been looking all around and am wondering who is the best company to ship arcade games with in your opinion? Also, who has the best rates and do they require you to pallet it up, or do they do it for you? It seems in my case I am usually looking for residence-residence type shipping. How do you guys usually address the shipping issue?

Also, for those of you that like to pickup your games, what is the best way to do so and get them up on a truck? What do you use, and how do you prepare them for the travel? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ;)
 
I've used NAVL/STI for a couple of pins I've bought. Blanket wrapping, etc. was really good. Not sure on arcade games as I haven't had any shipped in. I'm sure more people will pop in with their opinions.

If you're interested in NAVL/STI their website is www.stidelivers.com

Can STI only be used for semi-accessible locations? Someone mentioned that to me, but I am not for sure if that is true. My location is not semi-accessible. Thanks ;)
 
I just used

Jordan,

I just used Rich with Moving Man shipping...he is out of Michigan but goes everywhere. He just brought me my DL 2 from Detroit to Sacramento. Did not require it to be palleted. He wrapped it and then blanket wrapped it and tied it down to the moving truck. It arrived safe and sound.
Rich was very professional and gave me the best rate out of anyone else...NAVL wanted $650 to ship the game.
Rich was $300...he had great communication too...

You can reach him via email at [email protected]

He is slower than NAVL only because he is smaller than them..it took two weeks to get my game. But I would rather spend $300 and wait two weeks than spend $650 and only get it a week or so earlier...

Anyway...Rich is who I will continue to use..

Take it easy

Thank you very much for the feedback, it is much appreciated!!! It seemed a lot of these places were a little high and there are some more reasonable shippers out there.
