Hello everyone, I was looking to get some feedback or info on shipping a pinball machine. I'm looking to get one shipping from San Francisco to Seattle, I've checked out all the shipping threads and I've contacted Michelle from Beltman and got quoted $617. All of the other threads for shipping seem a little out of date. The price I was quoted looks a little high compared to what I've seen others pay in the past, but maybe it is just higher now with the new gas prices. Does anyone know a better company to use for a lower price or just other good companies to ship with for that distance in general? Just trying to get a range of options here. Thanks for any feedback.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah most of the posts on shipping with Michelle or other companies were from years ago or less and they were quoting $300-$550 or so. I agree the inflation and gas prices will really effect the shipping of pinball machines these days from state to state. Thanks for the reply I will contiune to look around or continue my business with Michelle.

Thanks for the reply! I will be at the NWPS all 3 days, does Llabnip1972 ship pins fron San Fran to the show? I live 30 min from where the show will be put on in Tacoma, but am really looking for a home to home delivery if possible! Thanks again.

Understandable, I figured with all thats going on in the world a $200-$300 price jump on shipping is reasonable, thanks for the reply.

Sorry got to this post a little late, but yes, the info is what bluespin posted above for Michelle. I used her recently to ship a machine from Red Wood City California to Seattle and the total was $609.00 after all was said and done. Prices have gone up quite a bit for shipping with all the high gas prices ect. The buyer takes care of all the shipping arrangements if you’re having it go across multiple states to get to you. If you’re looking to see the machine in person and it’s in another state, you might just want to make good contact with the seller and have a video call and have it shown that way. For me I took care of the shipping part and made sure it was all set up then paid the seller. Everything went fairly smooth using Michelle and from first contact with her and the seller of the machine I had it shipped to me about a month later. Best of luck to you.
