    Now everyone can see why the care that Arby takes is so special. Just about any other seller of pachinkos would have had the buyer dealing with a broken machine.

    Nothing beats an Arby packaging job.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    I just don't understand

    I cut hand holes for them and use quad wall sides and add 1.5 inches of dence foam. A wad of bubble wrap and Bagged peanuts. Skid wrap and cardboard.

    I just don't know what else that can be done without a hardcase to ship in.

    And the box is all glue and large box stapled together TOO!

    Whatever you do, Do NOT put a Mother In-law sticker on it. Some ol chap might think he is doing you a favor and you may NEVER see that package ever again!!!

    UPS, Fed Ex, they just do not care. Dock workers just take the fork lift and scoop up big boxes without putting on a pallet first. The bottom of the box is pierced with two distinct slices in it. Or your item might be on a corner of the aisle waiting to be loaded, and the fork lift scrapes it as it whizzes by. It's all just frieght to them. It wouldn't matter if you had 100 fragile stickers on it. I have never received a machine that the box was in the same condition as when it left the sellers place.

    From the looks of the high quality packaging, it probably takes arby a couple hours to do that kind of job for each machine that goes out, and less than10 minutes for UPS to destroy it. I have so many UPS & FedEX horror stories, dont get me going.

    No I didn't. I was under the impression that it was the Latin word for "shot put".
