International Orders (Outside U.S.):
We ship parts & supplies orders to most countries outside the U.S.
Before Placing Your International Order: We recommend e-mailing us with your order (list of part numbers, and quantities), and your shipping address, so we can verify that the parts and quantities you need are in stock, and give you a total cost with shipping. If some parts are not in stock, additional costs will apply to send a second (backordered) shipment. E-mailing us with your order can help avoid problems like this.
International Shipping Costs: Shipping costs to countries outside the U.S. vary depending on the country, and size/weight of your order. If you need a shipping quote before you place your order, just e-mail us with a list of items you want to order, quantities, and your shipping address.
When you place your order online, interational shipping costs are estimated and shown when you checkout and finalize your order. You can cancel or change your order if necessary. Extra shipping costs- in addition to estimated costs- are sometimes required to ship outside the U.S., due to exact weight and size of your shipment. If your order requires additional cost to ship to you outside the U.S., we will contact you by e-mail within 1 business day after your order is placed, to let you know what the additional charges will be. So please check your e-mail after placing your order to avoid any shipping delays.
Customs Taxes / Tariffs / Fees on Imported Goods: Items being shipped outside the U.S. may be subject to import taxes, tariffs, and fees, when they enter your country as imported goods. We do not charge for or collect these fees- these fees are collected by your government, customs service, or postal service, when the package is delivered to you, and are based on the U.S. dollar amount of the merchandise you have purchased. Some countries do not charge any fees. Others may charge up to 100% of the value of the goods. Contact your local Post Office or Customs Service for more details.
Only goods (merchandise) are taxable as imported items. (Items like labor, shipping/handling charges, and deposit charges are not taxable.)
We are required by U.S. Federal Law to truthfully state the value of the merchandise being shipped on the customs form placed on the outside of the package. We will not misrepresent or fraudulently state an incorrect amount on the customs form or mark purchased merchandise as a "gift"- please do not ask us to violate the law. We have no control over what your government may charge to import goods from the U.S. into your country, nor can we answer questions about such fees. If you have questions or concerns about import taxes, fees, and tariffs, please contact your local post office or customs service.
Please do not order from us if you are unwilling to pay additional shipping costs and import taxes, fees, and/or tariffs on your order shipped outside the U.S.
Shipping Schedule:
Most orders usually ship within 1-2 business days. If you are in a rush for your order (needed right away or via overnight shipping), please contact us before or right after placing your order to make other arrangements.
If you have any questions or any specific needs for your order, just drop us a line by e-mail.
Shipping Times: Within the U.S.: Most domestic orders shipped within the U.S. take an average of 3-6 business days to arrive, depending on destination. Some may take more time, some may take less, depending on destination and shipment method.
Outside the U.S.: Most international shipments take an average of 2-3 weeks to arrive, depending on destination. Some may take more time, some many take less, depending on destination and shipment method. Some shipments are occasionally delayed in Customs for random inspection which can delay delivery (this is rare). We have seen some shipments take as much as 9-10 weeks to arrive when delayed in Customs.
Weather conditions can also affect delivery time, especially in winter months. Please allow sufficient time for your shipment to arrive before contacting us regarding any possible shipping problems.
International (non-U.S.) Shipments: Varies by Country- charges start at $23.95 US.
All shipments we send out include tracking services (mandatory on all orders we ship). See Shipping Methods below for more details.
"Why is there a minimum charge for shipping/handling?"
On processing most small or single-item orders, any profit on the sale of the parts is usually swallowed up by the cost of labor, time, and materials that it takes to package, process, and ship the order (envelopes, boxes, labels, equipment, man-hours, etc.) This means that we often make no profit on processing and shipping small orders- all of the profit that might be made is swallowed up in the cost of the labor and time it takes our employees to put the order together, package it, and ship it.
To overcome this problem and still be able to continue to sell and ship small / single-item orders to our customers, we have had to invoke a minimum charge for shipping/handling. Unlike some other dealers, we do not require a minimum parts order amount prior to shipping/handling charges (some other online dealers require a $25 or $30 minimum parts order). But we do have a minimum charge for shipping and handling.
Shipment Insurance:
Shipment insurance is available optionally, at additional cost. See the Shipment Insurance section below for more details. We are not responsible for loss, damage, or theft of shipments if not insured for shipping.
Rush/Expedited/Overnight Orders:
If you need your order to be shipped and arrive quickly (expedited shipment, guaranteed delivery date, etc.) please contact us as soon as your order has been placed. For additional charges, we can ship orders by expedited methods such as USPS Express Mail, Global Express Mail, or Global Express Guaranteed, which are the fastest methods, and some of which offer a guarantee on service and delivery date. See Shipping Methods below for more information.
For all shipments with tracking: Please note that on rare occasions, a shipment may not be scanned by the post office when it goes into their system, and tracking information may not show up in their system until the package is actually delivered. If you run into this problem, please allow for ample time for your shipment to arrive before contacting us about a possible shipping problem. If the post office contact us about a problem or return your package for any reason, we will contact you, but be aware that after we have turned your shipment over to the post office, it is out of our hands until it is delivered or returned to us for any reason. So please be patient and allow for ample time for delivery on your order.
Whether your shipment includes tracking or does not, we are not responsible for any loss, damage, or delays during transit. Shipments are entirely out of our hands after being turned over to the post office for delivery. See Shipment Insurance below for more information.
Please note that some credit cards will automatically cover your purchase if lost, damaged, stolen, etc., so you may want to check with your credit card company before ordering to find out if your purchase will already be insured.
The purpose of insurance is to cover the cost of replacing item(s) in your order should they become lost or damaged while in the mail (please read below for important information on determining value and making an insurance claim).
An additional charge will apply for insurance coverage, and must be requested at time of ordering. We are not responsible for lost, damaged, or mis-delivered shipments if they are not insured, nor if insurance is not requested at time of ordering.
International Shipments: Insurance claims on international shipments can be very time consuming (several weeks or months to resolve) and very difficult, if not impossible, to resolve with international shippers. We are not repsonsible for any delays and will not replace any items unless a claim is resolved and paid.
All Shipments: We are not responsible for any claims or value of goods that a shipper may not pay. In many cases, the shipper themselves will determine the value of goods in your shipment, and this may or may not equal what you paid for the goods. In a case where the shipper will not pay the full value of items in your claim, we will not be responsible for covery any loss or costs that will not be covered by the shipper.
OTHER INSURANCE NOTES: (for all shipments) PLEASE NOTE that:
Insurance does not cover shipping/handling costs on your order. Insurance covers only the cost of the items in your order. Shipping/handling charges are non-refundable.
We are not responsible for any loss or damage to items shipped, if not insured for shipping.
We are not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to items after they have been delivered (see "Delivery Confirmation" under "Domestic (U.S.) Orders" above).
We are not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to items, if delivery confirmation cannot be obtained (if shipment does not have tracking or delivery confirmation, etc.)
We are not responsible for any claim that the shipper will not pay, or that the shipper will only pay in part. Determination of the value of items shipped is usually entirely up to the shipper, so if you have something insured and need to make a claim, you may not get what the item is worth. It's entirely up to the shipper, and we have no control over it, and cannot be responsible for such problems.
Insured shipments require a signature in person, when the shipment arrives at your location. Your signature indicates the acceptance of the shipment. Any claim of loss or damage after the shipment has been signed for will not be honored by the shipper, so be sure to check your shipment before signing that form.
We are not responsible if customer is not home or present to sign for and receive an insured shipment when it is delivered.
If you have any questions or problems, please contact us by e-mail or phone.
For payment for parts, supplies, accessories, and service/repair, we can accept cash (in person), major credit & debit cards, bank transfers, and online payments through PayPal.com. Gift Certificates purchased online or at our shop can also be used toward payment.
We can accept checks and money orders as pre-payments for goods, however these forms of payment must clear the bank before any goods can leave our shop. This process typically takes about 10 business days. We will only accept checks and money orders in U.S. funds, drawn on U.S. banks. A $25 fee will be charged for any returned (bounced) checks or money orders, and any delinquent, uncollected payments/charges left outstanding will be turned over to collections after 30 days.
We do not accept any payment methods other than the above.
Returns must be authorized before being sent back to us, and not all items are returnable (see below). "Returns" are considered to be any item returned for refund, exchange, or credit.
RMA number must accompany any returned item(s). If your return is authorized, we will give you an RMA number to include with your item(s) being returned. Items returned without an RMA number may not be accepted at all, or a higher restocking fee may apply.
Returnable Items: Some items we sell are returnable. Most are not, including: games (pinball, video, etc.), any electrical parts/components, special-order items, paperwork items (manuals, schematics, score cards, etc), any used parts, and any parts sold as-is.
Limited to 15 Days: Refunds or exchanges on returnable items are limited to 15 days from date of purchase. No returns or exchanges will be honored after 15 days. Please check your order as soon as you receive it to be sure everything is correct and to your satisfaction, and contact us immediately if there are any problems or questions. Requests for refunds of items after 15 days from purchase will not be honored.
Return Shipping Cost: Customer is responsible for any costs associated with packaging and returning any authorized returned items.
Refused Returns: If your item was returned and refused (returned without being authorized (no RMA number), or returned after 15 days of purchase), it may be refused. If you wish to have the item shipped back to you, additional shipping/handling costs may apply to re-ship the item back to you a second time.
Restocking Fee: All returned items are subject to a 10% to 50% restocking fee, depending on the item, which is deducted from any refund issued.
Refund of Shipping/Handling Costs: Shipping/handling costs are not refundable, and will not be refunded.
Refund Payment Method: Any payments refunded will be refunded by the original method in which they were received. That is, if you originally made payment by credit card, a refund will be made back to your credit card, etc. No exceptions.
Condition of Returned Items: Authorized items returned for exchange must be in same condition as when they were originally shipped to you. Returned items must also be re-stockable and re-sellable to another customer. Any items that do not meet these requirements or that are used, worn, show signs of visible use or handing, or that were damaged after being received, cannot be accepted for exchange or refund.
Returned/Refused/Undeliverable Shipments: We are not responsible for any shipments returned to us by shipper for any reason. Such shipments will need to be re-shipped to you, if you so desire, and an additional charge for re-shipment will apply. Any shipments that are returned to us and not re-shipped due to refusal or due to our not being able to contact you, will be issued a refund for purchase price, less restocking charge, and less any shipping/handling costs (shipping/handling costs are not refundable).
Exceptions:
Warranted Items: Items that may be covered under a warranty are returnable after 15 days and/or until the end of the warranty period (whichever is greater), only if defective or faulty. Terms vary depending on item and item warranty - contact us if you have any questions about warranty on any particular item.

Be sure to check tracking via the tracking number for your order which was e-mailed to you when your order was shipped out. And see the Shipping Times section above for important information on estimated shipping times. Please allow sufficient time for your order to arrive before contacting us.
Game Restorations:
The full restoration work we do on games we sell is limited to games in our own inventory, which we restore and sell through our shop and website.
We do not do any full restoration work on any games outside of our own inventory, as we simply don't have the time and resources to do so.
If you need service work on your game, we can help with most types of general repairs and service- contact us with your needs and we can provide more info.
"How much is this game worth?"
For questions regarding game values, pricing, and general "how much is it worth" questions, please see our page on Selling Your Own Game which gives information on determining game values, prices, and provides helpful info on selling or buying a game.
Phone Messages and Returned Phone Calls:
We do not return international phone calls outside the U.S. and Canada due to cost and inconvenient time differences. Use e-mail.
Leaving a Voice Message: If you call and leave us a message, please state your name and let us know exactly what it is you are looking for. Please leave your telephone number TWO TIMES (US or Canada only) so we can be sure we have it correct. Please speak slowly and clearly so that we can understand what you are saying. We get a lot of phone calls where we cannot make out phone numbers, or cell phone calls that can't be understood, so please speak clearly, or e-mail us for best communication.
Parts Inquiries: If you have a question about a part listed on our website, or are looking for something that you can't find on our website, please consider using e-mail for best communication. Due to our busy shop workload and large volume of calls, we often cannot return phone calls on small parts inquiries, or items that we simply cannot help you with. So if you need to call on something like this, please continue to do so until you get through, or send us an e-mail message and we will quickly and gladly reply by e-mail.
We do not accept any calls from incoming toll-free numbers, unlisted numbers, private numbers, blocked numbers, telemarketers & solicitors, charities and fund-raisers, or from any sources that do not list a phone number for caller ID. Due to the high number of unsolicited telephone calls that our shop receives each day, we have had to adapt our phone system to screen out any of the above types of callers as we simply don't have the time or resources to take these calls.
If you are unable to reach us by phone, or get through to us due to busy call volume, feel free to leave us a voice mail message on our phone system, or drop us an e-mail for faster response.
