If Great Plains Electronics in the US can send stuff with reasonable shipping rates  why cant Marco's.

must be making good money out of postage

All I want is 2 yellow flipper booties(Banana) rubbers from Marco spec in the USA-postage $40 something?? best they could do was $20 something?? for 2 small rubbers that would fit in a small padded envelope/WTF

Peter

Just did a joint order with other pinheads from Marcos. Crushed decals,broken parts, wrong items and missing items??????
5 days and still waiting on a response.

Now you have me worried Dave, just recently ordered a few things, including plastics for my Paragon. Could not source these locally or from anyone other than Marcos or Bay Area Amusements.

If you buy a reasonable amount from them in one hit, then the shipping works out ok, still high compared to say pbr but not ridiculous.

Dont be worried, your order might turn out fine................they really screwed ours up though. As long as they make contact and rectify then all should be good.

I have been ordering regularly from Marcos, Pinball Pal, and BAA lately and have not had one bit of trouble. Orders are here within 3 to 5 days no probs.

Generally order as a group with other WA members to share the postage costs and its all too easy.....

Wonder if Marco will smile as he gets bent over 

[james12]

Yeah, I had a similar experience.  High postage, a couple of missing parts, and 1 incorrect part.  Glad there's alternatives!

[pinballowner]

I wont deal with them anymore, theres nothing they sell that cant be sourced from other outlets if you shop around

Anybody know where I can get one of these from other than Marco  "Shooter/Kicker Assy DE TOMMY Item Code: 500-5797-00 "

Yeah these are bullshit postage amounts,
I recieved a 6" x 8" padded envelope from pinball pro in the US to here the total postage was $2.29 

[Retropin]

8 bumper caps, 3 skirts, 2 coin entry plates, 2 schematics... all boxed and sent by PBR.
 $10 postage + $2 handling fee. They even custom made 3 of the caps for me as they never had them as stock.
PBR absolutely rock!

Also in the packing was a newspaper page with the job ads - Wanted IT graduate PT/FT $10.30ph.

Seems the guys at Marcos must take about 2hrs to stick a schematic in an envelope judging by the hourly pay rate..... i hope this clears up any confusion about Marcos handling fees

For EM parts, I Try RTTB first, then PBR then if youre really really really desperate MARCO.

Put aside the antiquated payment methods... This site is great...especially for Gottlieb machines...

Yeah that's right, PBR hold the license as far as I am aware for Gottlieb and therefore specialise in Gottlieb parts but they do carry some other items, just nowhere near the extent that Marco and BAA do.

Do Stern stock DE and Sega parts at all or who ended up with them?
