Every time I’ve shipped with STL/Beltman I’ve had zero issues. Are people really shipping these things with the legs on and hoping these package slamming gorillas are going to take care of it?
Here’s a pic of the last pin I had them pick up for a buyer. I made it so simple they literally thanked me.
Saying most of the time people expect them to wrap and protect these things. I can’t imagine entrusting people who have absolutely zero skin in the game to care if this gets to you safe 3 or 4 drivers down the road before the buyer even sees it.

Sounds like pure luck.

That’s why a solid pallet is your friend.
Imagine expecting people in a poorly ventilated terminal full of truck exhaust moving hundreds of pallets and parcels and then they come across your pinball, legs on, wrapped with blankets. You think they care enough to carefully move it to the next shipping container? They care about how quickly they can move it.
Maybe I just have trust issues but I don’t believe any of these people care one bit how these look when they arrive.
At least not as much as you or I do.
I wrap anything I ship like 20 foot tall babies are moving it around. I’ve never had to file a claim for anything.
