Shipping games laying down? or on side?
(1/3) > >>
blueboy:
I'm assuming shipping games standing straight up is the preferred method.
However my transportation doesn't allow the space for that
I'm wondering if shipping a game laying down, with the monitor up, is going to cause any problems?
Is shipping it on its side preferable?

Thanks

What distance? I don't think either way makes much of a difference, other than you'll scratch your sides if you opt for on its side. I always put them on its "back".

RayB,

You put them on there back? If i go to Starburst i will most likely be with my friends minivan. And if purchase a machine, that is the reccomended to lay it?

If im not worried about the sides, could it be put on its side?
blueboy:
About 400 miles...6-7 hours worth of driving.
thanks for the advice

I have always moved cabs on their back in the back of my minivan. The only exceptions have been when I moved more than one cab at once (on their backs in fullsize van) and a 33" showcase cabinet which is actually being delivered as I write this.

WARNING: Before laying a machine down, check for (and remove) loose items inside (including and especially the monitor). The last machine I moved (last week) had a bunch of bolts lodged up in the top of the machine (bloody duramold cabinet has nooks and crannies above the monitor) and they ended up flying around.

Cheers.
