Pinball Life is a great place to get parts outside of Aus
« on: January 28, 2012, 08:40:31 AM »
Not to take business away from some of our local suppliers - I believe in fully supporting Aussie's first, but boy Pinball Life in the states are good to deal with.

I ordered some parts a week ago for my IM (parts that are not available here) and within 7 days they arrived on my door step using the cheapest airfreight option. A very similar sized box and weight from Macrospecialists would have cost $40 to freight and a few weeks where this one cost $15. I have purchased twice off these guys and both times the same results and I think I read somewhere someone else also had good results also.

They have a good range of gear and very affordable.

Here is the link, though in getting the link they are taking a few days off so have shut their site, so check them out this arvo and they are taking orders in a few days time.

If www.rtbb.com.au hasn't got what I need, pinball resource and pinball life are definitely my next go to places.

Totally agree, RTBB is my first port of call, a great Aussie provider of pinball parts, just received a package from Greg in awesome time the other day, 2 days from time of ordering.

pinball life is very cheap if u buy leds in bulk (and i mean BULK x 100 plus each bulb n colour)  

also, i like the fact you can buy complete flipper kits incl the silver hosing bracket etc so a swap out is very easy at a very affordable price.  some usa companies are alot cheaper on certain items than others. its a matter of doing ya homework and spreading your orders around between 3 or 4 different companies depending on what u want.
you just cant buy everything off one company, because it will cost too much, unless they price match, which most do not.

I like to deal with companies that take paypal and calculate correct postage right then and there. accordingly, pinball-life is fine like swinksy said.  ^^^

I try check out mark c and rtbb first, before going overseas. waiting for overseas orders/slow customs can be painful. everyone has bargains, u just have to work the keyboard like a man on a mission.lol

I buy most of my stuff o/s but have bought from suppliers here as well, for me it always comes down to price.
