just had one shipped from California to st. louis with sti. $426 with legs off,sitting on pallet. no damage at all. I would think common sense would tell you a lower center of gravity is a good thing!

2 common ways for a pin to get damaged in shipping. 1: it falls over. 2: something bumps up against it. Take the legs off, one of those problems is gone!
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Another one^^^^^...2 posts up
Such a shame bad advice...
I respect the experience above. However, its not your money, if yould like to ship it in for Op and there's no damage, then charge him only shipping, this would be only reason to do it.
A lot of guys dont realize that after pick up and a couple guys loading your pin in truck, 2 guys to muscle that thing around. Well at end of day they park truck and new guy gets it following day. Now your pin will not be delivered on that same truck as pick up. Cargo is often unloaded 2 to 3 times at STI depending on distance. More guys muscling your machine around dragging on legs. When on pallet its easier to move into next truck. We have a vision of putting pin on truck and that same truck shows up at house. Does not work that way. Only if under 150 miles.
correct, mine was unloaded, loaded several times then put in a distribution center for sorting/routing!
