One of our recent clients needed these delicate electronics boxed, packed, crated, and transported. It was up to us to figure all of these logistics out.
It was amazing when the machine roared to life and lit up and just begged us to crush that perfectly crafted sphere around the bumpers and stoppers.
After all we had to make sure it was in proper working order right ?
Working with such unique cargo does require extra special attention and care to the packing and shipping process. We call this approach to shipping expensive items white glove service.
What is White Glove Service ?
It is an approach that requires expertly trained hands to ensure the security and safety of one of a kind, fragile, and irreplaceable belongings. It is a guarantee that we will treat your belongings better than our own, and everything will arrive at it's destination as intended.
This Vintage Playboy Pinball Machine could not just be bubble wrapped and drove to it's new home. We had to disassemble it including delicate wires and electronics.
Next after it was into separate parts custom wooden crates and boxes had to be assembled.
Amazing that we got it down to this size, which made for a much easier move. No risk of it tipping over, breaking a leg, or worse, parts that we could never replace. They just do not make these things and only a few working machines exist to this day. The owner needless to say was extremely happy with his delivery, and it was one of the many antiques that cross our warehouse floors that we wish we could have kept. How great would this be in the break room for a conversation piece ? Sadly coin-op pinball machines are a thing of the past but bring back so many fond memories.
The future is here and now in gaming.
And we just did an article on what is going on at E3 and electronic shipping
Thanks for reading about our adventures in the logistics of packing and shipping industry
