They did fine moving my Subway from upstate NY to Phoenix AZ... no damage and took two weeks. $577 bucks for a 2300+ mile trip. It was off the legs and wrapped but no pallet. A bit pricey but I wasn't in a rush.

I trust them to give me a little more service than what $300 buys you from your distributor. As a matter of fact, I have seen way more NIB disasters in shipping as opposed to the zero I have ever seen trashed by Beltmann. Now my last shipment was a very rare add a ball and one I have been looking for for a long time. I wouldn't trust just anyone to ship it, so I spent the extra money AND time to have it get here in one piece. Was it worth nearly twice what NIB shipping costs? Yes it was for me.

Having a pinhead on both ends of the journey really helps too... If the sender does a decent wrap prior to the shipper arriving, and then demands (in your name) it be wrapped AGAIN once the shipper arrives, now that is one well protected machine.

What you have to watch out for is when they say "we don't wrap it here, we take it back to the depot and wrap it there before putting it on a truck..." which is code speak for "throw a shipping blanket over it and ratchet strap it to the truck" so don't let them leave until it is properly wrapped if you are looking for NO damage.

A proper pallet is essential too. That damage in the last set of photos looks like it could have been avoided if they would have used a pallet that supported the cabinet corners, which is the reason they got f-ed up IMO.

The below tl;dr method is offered for the sake of the lives of pinball machines everywhere... its time consuming and it requires more resources but it has never failed me.

I recommend a 5/8 plywood platform screwed on top of oak skids and centering strips screwed on all four sides to prevent shifting.

Ratchet strap the shrink wrapped head down to the corner boarded and shrink wrapped cabinet using corner boards.

When shrink wrapping the cabinet, center the four legs, duct taped together with cardboard between them and with leg bolts bagged and duct taped to that, in the center of the cabinet bottom.

Stand the machine on its shipping buttons and place a piece of cardboard on the pallet.

Center machine on pallet, and run ratchet strap from underneath pallet, over machine using corner boards on cabinet edges, then back under the pallet. DO NOT run ratchet straps under pallet skids to prevent abrasive separation of the straps, and always run straps parallel to the skids.

Tighten straps so machine and pallet become solid and machine will not rock back and forth. Wrap with shipping blankets and either duct tape them in place, or do a second shrink wrap.

Now, if there is ANY damage after you do all that, then I would stop using that carrier too, but so far this packing method has transported numerous machines thousands of miles for me damage free.
