Mount Pleasant, SC
Back in Texas. Several game deliveries to do in the dallas texas area after thanksgiving days.
Planning next 3 routes now:
1. Austin, Texas > New Jersey (hopefully weather holds) > Texas.
2. Texas > Southern/Central California > Texas.
3. Texas > Northern/Central Florida > Texas.
PM me if you have something (pins, vids, jukes, slots, kiosks, signs, antiques, parts, mods, toppers, monitors, etc) along these routes you need delivered. Items can hop across multiple routes if needed.

Quoted from TigerLaw:
Our friend labnip delivered a Shrek to us last night. I want to say the experience with labnip shipping the game for us was phenomenal. True white glove service at an affordable price (far better than both STI’s service and price).
If you are buying a game from far away, you simply should utilize labnip if he is doing a rout in the area. He is worth waiting for and it is really an incredible experience to have a sophisticated hobbiest deliver the game to you. Deal in total confidence with labnip if he is your shipper.

I found Brett to be very professional. He drove many miles to deliver my games. He did it for a reasonable price. Delivered when he said he would and above all safely delivered my games without a scratch. I highly recommend him and will be using him again. - cody hill
I’ve known labnip a long time and he has delivered a many a game for lots of folks over the years. It is not his fault the buyer picked the shipping company they did and used them to prep and ship the game.
That is on the buyer. If the buyer wanted it crated etc he could have had Bret do that. Instead he counted on his shipper to prep the game per their instructions. It doesn’t sound like they followed those instructions and that is between the shipper and the buyer.
If anything it looks like Labnip went above and beyond trying to help by adding some signage to the machine to keep it from getting damaged in transit.
What happened here is definitely not a reflection on how labnip picks up, ships, and delivers games. If you want to know how happy folks are who use him just ask one if they would use him to transport a machine again and the answer is always yes.
I just spoke to Michelle at STI. She was just as concerned and baffled as I am. She said it has arrived at their San Antonio location already and she's going to have her guys take lots of pics of it to protect themselves from this buyer's possible future false-claims/etc. I'm going to be sending her all my pics too now. She also asked why is it the buyer did not contact her with special packaging/shipping instructions. I told her i didn't know and that i told him he needed to as well.
so instead of finishing updates to my trailer to start next route to New Jersey, I'm spending all day dealing with this person.
sorry to customers on my Texas > NJ > Texas delivery route for the delays.
Amazed that this buyer is giving a professional game shipper such a hard time for something that is way beyond his control.
I have used Labnip more then once and he does an amazing Job.
With STI you roll the dice.
Sure hope it all works out somehow.
I have had two games go down when transported with the legs on. one leg twisted and the game collapsed... the first was surprise, the second, never doing that again. I can promise you a few small dings from folding the machine is NOTHING compared to have a machine fall in a trailer when a leg gives out.
hmmm it appears california is shutting down. keeping an eye on it as it may impact delivery routes to california.

Yup, our wonderful governor has implemented a "shelter in place" for at least 3 weeks starting December 3rd...

Well maybe that means you can come up to Colorado instead!

I missed something. Maybe it was on Facebook. Probably wasn't too important anyway.
Route update:
going from dallas, Tx to Oklahoma City to north Arkansas to Joplin, MO to Memphis, TN then back on this map path through TN to NJ then back to Texas.
Room for more items along way to New Jersey.
A little room to bring some more back from NJ to south-central US.
