Coin-Op Machine Shipping Specialists
America's dedicated freight specialists for coin-operated amusement equipment. Arcade games, pinball machines, jukeboxes, vending machines — we ship it all nationwide with professional care and the best available rates.
What Are Coin-Operated Amusement Machines?
Coin-operated machines — often called coin-op or coin-op amusements — are any devices designed to operate when a coin or token is inserted. The term covers a wide range of equipment: arcade video games, pinball machines, jukeboxes, vending machines, claw machines, slot machines, and vintage amusement devices.
These machines have a passionate collector community, a thriving dealer network, and an active buy-and-sell market. The challenge they all share: these are heavy, bulky, often fragile machines that need to move from city to city — sometimes across the country.
We are the freight specialists the coin-op community turns to. Whether you bought a vintage Wurlitzer from a dealer in Maryland, a classic Pac-Man cabinet from an estate sale in Texas, or a collection of pinball machines from a closing arcade in Chicago — we get it to you safely.

Coin-Op Shipping FAQ
What is a coin-op machine?
Coin-op (coin-operated) machines are amusement or vending devices that accept coins or tokens to operate — including arcade games, pinball machines, jukeboxes, vending machines, claw machines, slot machines, and vintage collectible amusement devices.
How do you ship a coin-operated amusement machine?
All coin-op machines are shipped as freight on pallets. The machine is wrapped in cardboard and stretch wrap, secured to a 48×40 pallet with ratchet straps, and transported via a single professional freight carrier. This is the safest, most cost-effective method used by dealers and collectors nationwide.
Can you ship a vintage or antique coin-op machine?
Yes — and we treat them with the extra care they deserve. Vintage coin-op machines (pre-1980s arcade games, EM pinballs, bubble-top jukeboxes, mechanical slot machines) are irreplaceable. We strongly recommend our $25 optional $10,000 insurance coverage for any high-value piece.
Do you ship coin-op machines internationally?
Our standard service covers all 50 US states. For international shipments, contact us directly — we can discuss options for Canada and international destinations on a case-by-case basis.
