Hi All, has anyone ordered from this company.  I am going to order from them and wondered what is the best way to pay?  ANy advice appreciated.  Cheers

I have ordered quite a lot from there, if the local guys can't help.

Your first order needs to be paid for before shipping, and as they don't take cards, you'll need a US dollar money order. Place the order, wait for the total, send the money order, get your parts and with it will be your account details. After that, its order and pay on invoice which comes with your parts!

A hint on ordering - if you ask for "that silver bit on games made in the mid-80's you know, up near the top of the playfield" you'll get a fairly terse response (or perhaps none at all, which is probably for the best! :). You need to order by manufacturer and part number, no exceptions! Although once I was known as a customer who always carefully specified what was being ordered, I found them a little more obliging.

Dean - I've ordered from them plenty of times - they stock 1,000 of old gottlieb and "hard to get parts"... I assume you have checked out Mark and Greg's site - Maybe the part is local ?

First and foremost - Create an account with Steve via email. You do this with your first order. He will send you a quote.
Then you go to the post office and write up a Western Union Money order for US Dollars to "The Pinball resource", with your copy of the quote in the email printed and sent..
Wait for the package - 2 weeks, usually - if sent via USPS.. UPS is quicker, but more expensive. You sign for the parcel when it arrives.

For every order after the first - He sends you the parts, and you pay after you receive them...

When you place your order with Steve - Make sure you have the part numbers handy..

This time of year is a bad time to be ordering tho.. Christmas post is a nightmare It will take longer than 2 weeks.

Thanks Guys for your responses.  Yes I checked both Greg and Marks sites first.  How much does a Western Union Money order cost?  Is postage expensive (obviously depends on weight).?

Cheers, Fixed.  Quick question how do I create an Aviater

[pinnies4me]

The money order is $8.00 I think, and the postage is $2 or so - I always think of it as costing me about $10 to send off payment.

Dean - you will see a lot of love for system 1 and system 80 here..

I've never parted a game, and I just hate the thought of it happening...

I have always been using 'International Money Orders' for PBR ....even after all these years the only place to buy parts for your vintage pins 

[Ford Fairlane]

Hi guys, i tried to put my first order to PBR today and the chick pulls out a western union slip and says i need to have the end account number???

I read this thread but im still confused. PBR didnt give me an account number even though i told them that i would pay via an interbnational money order... Please help

Thanks!
