There's a big difference between living in NJ and living in Wyoming. Much shorter drives to get most things people want.
That being said, so far I've only shipped two. One was a Jolly Park which I would have been pretty upset if it got destroyed. Not too easy a game to find, so shipping it was. Second was a Bell Ringer with Fastanel, cheap game cheap shipping, so worth the gamble. Both shipment went prefect. I still MUCH prefer to pick a game up myself if at all possible.
