Title: Shipping an Arcade Cabinet
Post by: genlee on September 18, 2014, 11:19:36 am
Hey guys,

Has anyone ever bought an arcade cabinet from far away and had it shipped? What is the best way to have it shipped? What did it cost? We are taking in the US.

Thanks,
Joel Logan

I have bought two cabinets and had them shipped, I am in California and the cabs were located in Georgia and Maryland.
Best way of having things shipped is by truck freight. I typically get a deal through STI but it can run anywhere from $200 to $500 to ship within the continental US, I am not sure what that price would be if you are located elsewhere.

both games arrived with no damage, and I was quite happy with the service.
