Does anyone know the cheapest carrier to ship a playfield? It's going from Indiana to Washington and I plugged in the dimensions and weight on FedEx and UPS and it shot out $200 which seems insane.

This afternoon I shipped a populated Sing Along playfield from St. Louis, Mo. to Richmond, Va. Fed-Ex. $82.80.

Are you talking about a blank unpopulated pf or a fully populated pf?

No matter what I've shipped, I always had the best prices from the good ole' USPS.

UPS and Fedex to the West Coast skyrockets it seems.
That said, you can ship a machine for darn near $200.

Make sure you’re looking at Ground rates and not (FedEx) Express or (UPS) 2 Day.

I have used FedEx to ship bare playfields in a wood crate. They had the best price I could find.
