I knew Pinball Life would lose this battle.

Quoted from Mike_J:6 days is now slow. What a screwed up world we now live in.
Compared to Marco, Yes.
Quoted from Tilt:I dont think that you have a clue what really goes on.
ColorDMD, is in the OP's backyard, and im not sure how many they ship out a week, but i would guess maybe lets say 50 a week which im guessing is pretty high. No special packing really need since every one is the same size, they dont load the roms, so no additional work really needed
Pinballlife. I know that days that i have popped in there, they have had over 100 packages to ship just that day. Im guessing that many orders have 5-10 items because we are cheap asses and want to save on shipping, so we order 3 bulbs, 2 balls, a partridge in a pear tree, and then a cliffy or somethingg. so the parts puller has to go down 5 isles, make a box, with packing. then ship half way across the country
What kind of moron would not know all of that?
Of course there are a million factors that could have gone into this.
I was in no way knocking Pinball Life or their business.
They are by far way better then Marco with Pricing and the fact it takes a day or two longer to get stuff is no reason for you to get your panties in a wad.
Simply stating that if I were putting my money on a bet I would have picked them to come in last in this post.
I have done this experiment many times and Pinball Life has never won out getting here or getting in the box quicker. But I still love the hell out of them.
