Quoted from Ericpinballfan:This is the only way to ship a pin. This should be the industry standard. The weight factor is minamal extra cost. Once your over 130 or 150 lbs it doesn't matter. It would only be the cost of wood.
I dont know where these pics came from, may be a HEP ship out.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
The first two pictures are actually mine of a slot machine I sold, crated and shipped a few years back. I've sold and shipped a few slot machines this way and had ZERO damage. Last one went to FL without a hitch.
Around $100 in total cost for the crating but well worth the peace of mind.
