I bought a pin from silver_spinner and he wrapped and packed it just as described above. The pin arrived safe and sound and I chose to pick it at my local terminal. It was nice to use my own schedule - no missed time from work and no waiting around for a truck. I was able to fully inspect the game without a driver huffing and shuffling his feet. When I was ready to go I just left the straps and pallet at the terminal. It was all good.
