Quoted from jar155:Depends on if you're willing to pallet the game or not. If so, ForwardAir still remains real cheap. CoinOpShippers (I used to run that, don't anymore) is worth quoting as well. On certain routes they're about even with NAVL, on others they're significantly cheaper, but again, you have to pallet the game.
NAVL/STI is seemingly the only option if you want legs on shipping, but personally I prefer pallets.
No pallet being used,Im trying to trade a Pin with a fellow Pinsider.Thanks
Quoted from Tsskinne:I just used Beltman Logistics which works with STI shipping, I am assuming that prices are very similar, about $350 to ship from Nebraska to Indiana, included insurance for the pin. I got estimates from both and theirs turned out cheaper by about $50 in this case.

They were very helpful over the phone as well.
Good luck.
Thank you!! I'll give them a shot..I appreciate it.
Quoted from Tsskinne:I know they shipped legs on, but you have to let them know that when you make the arrangements. We did not so they showed up with only one guy to load it up, and it took an extra week for them to get back with an extra person and pick it up, no extra charges or anything, but delayed me playing TMNT by a full week.
Yes i did let them know about legs being left on..Thanks
Quoted from KingPinGames:Mike,
i called NAVL and they quoted me $594 from Gardner, MA to North Freedom, WI
i called Beltmann Logistics and they quoted me $436
if it is put on a pallet i can get it done for $350
i will be using Beltmann Logistics for future shipping (if pallets service is not an option)

Hi Christopher,See what i'm planning on doing is trading a game..Drop my game off and pick up a game at the same location and bring it to me.MI. to KY. quote was around 700.. 
Quoted from stretch2:Always cheaper on a pallet if you can do it.Pilot Air Freight is very very reasonable if palletized.You can purchase pallets cheap from http://www.uline.com
Thanks for the info.
I'm trying to give a thumbs up but there seems to be glitch,everytime i click thumbs up it goes right up to the top of the page... 
Quoted from KingPinGames:wow, that is crazy. it would be almost worth it to drive and meet halfway.
Yeah, we are trying to find a way to make this trade happen.
Quoted from Tsskinne:Also Lafayette is about midway between MI and KY, could stop at Main Street Amusements down there to play some pinball and make the sway, just an idea for you guys.
Not a bad idea.
Quoted from Bigdaddy1000:Beware of pilot air. Yes, they are cheap, but they also rammed a forklift tine through the front end of a Medieval Madness I shipped with them. I've never had any problems with NAVL, but I'm sure some have.
WHOA!!!! That must have been an awful sight!! Sorry to hear that...
