Quoted from burningman:Lets see...
TAF was to arrive on a Friday, but they could not give me a time. Wife took a day off, and they didn't show.
TAF was to arrive on the following Friday first delivery, shows up at 12:45, I ended up having to take a day off.
Hummmm...2 full days of work, and my wifes salary is....and my salary is............
Let me put it to you this way....our salaries are worth a hell of a lot more than the cost of shipping that damn pinball machine. Oh, and this is just one example...let me tell you about the time when they were going to pick up 3 games from me....lmao
Also, see if you can pickup at local terminal and set it up that way. I always do that since for me its a 15-20min drive and I get it at least a day faster, sometimes more.
I've shipped via pallet with RTL a couple times. Much much lower price comparatively and actually seems less likely to get damaged since forklift etc doesn't pick up by game itself.
