What is the best way currently to ship a pinball from Minnesota to Missouri? Is Fastenal taking shipping again?
(Topic ID: 282385)
Quoted from Hyperion:what prep has to be done to ship with Fastenal?
Not sure if Fastenal is shipping again, but to ship with them you need to pallet it and drop it off. Crating is optional, but it can't be insured if it isn't crated. I've shipped with Fastenal once and I would do it again, saved a ton of money that way and the buyer got it quickly.
Quoted from Hyperion:Need to ship a pinball from Mn to Mo.
That shouldn't be too hard (or too far to go), since "n" and "o" are only one letter apart.

Quoted from jayhawkai:Michelle Bianchi is probably the person you want to talk to - 630-344-3093 Cell
Not sure if that is still the case. She doesn't want to take phone calls; she wants everything in email. So I requested a quote by email on Wednesday. It is now past the end of day on Friday, and no response at all. The last quote that she gave me (for NJ-FL) last month was $625.... that was WAY above what I have seen others say they have been quoted for machine moves.
Anyone had luck with other movers/carriers? I am not interested in crating or dropping off at a dock location, so Fastenal is not an option for me.
I have even tried posting on UShip.com, and have not even received any quotes!
Seems everyone is either not interested, or too busy to fool with, a single pinball machine!
I thought you were shipping from Manganese to Molybdenum in which case I was gonna recommend Alchemy Shipping https://www.alchemyrecruitment.com/sectors/shipping-and-logistics

Quoted from Hyperion:Went and got the game myself ... 22 hr round trip, but to good a deal to pass on. Stern Nine Ball for $100
Opened thread about the whole deal
