« on: January 13, 2012, 11:41:55 AM »
I just got a package from Pinball Life in the states for my Ironman( shaker motor kit and some other goodies).
Paid for it last Friday and used the basic shipping option. I wasn't really expecting it until next the week or so but there ya go...top service! ^^^

Actually I am still in China for another week and a half - at this time of year it is impossible to get a ticket due to Chinese New Year. I'm sure there will be plenty to do here starting with moving to a bigger and better office in Shenzhen - while the Chinese are away for a month holidays I will sneak up on them - hahaha

Anyway, have you assembled that MPU yet? If not - WHY not?  %.%

$190 that's not bad. I have prices of $225 plus freight and $250 plus freight, both here in AU. Maybe it's time i consider looking at buying
from the US.

Hey, I placed an order with Pinballife last year, and was expecting freight to be expensive because there were a few weighty things in the order, and going on their shopping cart it came to about USD$90 for shipping which i thought was fair enough, and then lo and behold I get a Paypal refund of about $43 which was the difference between Shopping cart estimate and the actual cost once packaged and then weighed at the post office.

I was gobsmacked, and needless to say I would have got some more stuff if I realised postage was going to be that reasonable.

Pinballife so far have my overall vote for best supplier when you consider shipping time and actual cost of shipping, cant wait to order again.

yep, have to agree. Pinballlife is very very good for shipping. Terry is always good with postage etc. i never use the postage calculator and always ask that he check it, cause it gets divided in half when its calculated properly.

i ordered sample stuff from pinballlife and from cointaker on the same day, 4 weeks ago. the pinballife stuff came after 10 days, the cointaker stuff still hasnt arrived.

I sent something to melbourne 3 weeks ago, it still hasnt arrived. our postal system is rooted.
