I had a Gottlieb Card Whiz shipped from Myrtle Beach, SC to the middle of Virginia (about 400 miles). I went with uship.com and it was a good experience all the way around. It was set up online, and I communicated with the shipper via email. I paid $180 and it was a guy and his son-in-law with a regular van. I gave them a drink when they got here, and let them play some pinball, then they took off to wherever. The machine had been well wrapped at the seller's house so all they had to do was load it and drive it up here, but I thought that price was pretty reasonable. Cheaper than when I've rented a truck and done it myself.
