I have a lead on new pin - 1,100 miles away just south of Indianapolis (I'm in Denver). Due to seller's unfortunate medical situation, seller is unable to prep game for shipping. I have bought and sold many games out of state; however I have never left the entire prep process to the discretion of the shipping company.
Question: Would you you all have any reservations or would you trust the shipping company 100%? Thanks

To my This would depend on shipping Company I guess. Many guys here have had NAVL just do blanket Wrap Shipping and been fine.. I Personally don't do things that way but sometimes you don't have any choice..

Any chance you could find a pinsider close to your pin and see if someone would help for a few bucks? Would be a good solution

I've shipped about 20 games through NAVL in the last year and never once had a problem. They are a little more expensive than traditional truck freight but completely worth it in my opinion.

All he has to do is have the pin easily accessible. They'll take care of the rest. You even get to keep the nice blankets, ratchets and cardboard that they will prep it with.
