    So I need to ship a pin from Franklin, MA to Iowa... I got a quote from NAVL, they said it'd be $440, roughly. Anyone know of any cheaper methods to go about moving the pin?

    I know the prices from carrier to carrier change constantly so I thought I'd see who's the best to go with. Thanks!

    franklin mass is close to me - if you want you can buy other games in the area and have them ship from here so you can do a 2 or 3 for one.

    I have no problem helping out and picking up the machines for you if they are fairly close by - franklin is very close so I can pick it up for you. find another 1 or two and it makes shipping worth it.

    thanks ed

    Contact Fastenal. They offer shipping services store to store. Quoted me $435 East Coast to Hawaii.

    Here is their shipping quote form:

    Wow, very generous of you to offer that service, thanks for even considering it! I don't know what other pins are out there that I might buy at the moment, maybe I'll do a quick search around some sites and see if anything in that area looks good.

    Do they do a pretty good and secure job? Insured etc.? Thanks!

    I have no idea. I have just done the research but never actually used them. I have read here on the forum that others have used them and were satisfied. Search the forum for Fastenal and I'm sure you will get some more info.

    I am looking for an alternative to NAVL/STI....
    I will not use them again, regardless of price
