I want to buy a couple cabinets, but I've never used NAVL before and I need to get them shipped to me. From what I understand they charge $300-$400 for shipping standard arcades in the US. Do they wrap the cabinets up, and pallet them as well? Like, can I just send them to go pick a cabinet up at someones house and they'll wrap it up all nice and pretty?

Thanks in advance!

I ordered a cab through NAVL

they dont pallet but they do a blanket wrap.

you can insure it. It has minimum coverage and if you
want addional coverage it is 1 dollar for 100 bux worth of coverage.

They will come to your location and pickup/drop off assuming they can get
a full freight truck to your location.

So I can have someone who has their cab standing in their driveway, and NAVL will drive by their house, wrap it up, put it on their truck and deliver it to my house? That doesn't seem too bad. Any catches?

No, it's all good

My NAVL experience was positive as well -- a dedicated Major Havoc going outbound. They did a simple blanket wrap. I quizzed the company at length as I got ready to use them, they touted themselves as moving a lot of very valuable art and sculpture for the NY auction houses as well, and didn't even blink at a $4K insurance policy on the MH. They were the cleanest and best behaved 'truck guys' I've ever seen.

Every offer I've gotten for an arcade was either $300-$400 dollars for shipping. I'm just going by what I was told. You mean to tell me that NAVL only charges $400 dollars to ship anywhere in the US, but you need $4k to insure it??

$4K insurance policy

Not $4,000 to insure it.
