Just got my comet order the other day! thanks for the quick shipping as always!

The gummies rock too.

I don't see the "Pinburgh International Order Only" shipping option at checkout. Also your contact us seems to be down as well on your website.

I love your selection and prices...however, pinballlife.com offers the non-ghosting single SMD lamps at .89, a dime cheaper than your identical lamp. When ordering 50 or more....that really adds up. Can you guys get to that price??

I switched to Canadian Address but I still see no option for Pinburgh. I'm using Google Chrome latest version.

Also all your strips are showing $1 more at checkout then what is listed. Shows $3.95 instead of $2.95 and $6.95 instead of the $5.95 list at checkout. Tried on explorer as well still cant see the option listed anywhere to ship to Pinburgh.

I found the problem for the Pinburgh Checkout. It's not at checkout but at bottom of "your cart" and you need to put a non us address and click recalculate before it would appear. But the 7 smd strips are a buck more and the 20 smd 8" frosted is more as well at checkout. Please fix before I place my order.

OK I just placed my order, any free T-shirts on orders over $700.

Large,and looking forward to seeing you at Replay. Mine is the $701.63 order. Thanks for offering such great products, you are a real asset to the pinball hobby.

<rethinks business plan> lol

Are you ever going to restock the warm white ultimate optix? It's been a year or so since they were available.

Oh weird. I was trying to order 100 or so. Perhaps I just have bad timing?

Best bulb out there!

You should get a booth and support the show like Cointaker is doing... I'm saying that and they are a competitor of ours... Just saying, you want to make sales at the show it would be nice if you DO the show or contribute to it in some manner - pay for booth, travel, employees, hotel, meals, donate prizes to a tournament, or bring games like they do for people to beat the crap out of... While you are in the tournament having fun making sales, they are working the show. Sorry, not trying to be a dick here, but Cointaker is there taking all the risk they shouldn't have to compete against someone selling out of the trunk of the car in the parking lot. These people travel nationwide to shows at great expense to do what you aren't willing to. I'm sure you are a great person and have a great product, but this isn't the way to go about things. Support the show in some manner and the attendees vs just skimming sales off it.

I'm sure Comet are great people - I just know how much blood, sweat, and tear and hard work it is to do a show and Cointaker is there doing it... I just feel it's fair they should be supported for their effort and what they are contributing to the show and the attendees - and again, I'm a competitor of theirs. It's just my opinion that's all. If they are just delivering products previously sold ya, no issue there, but that's not all they were really offering... Again, sorry not looking to offend anyone, but if vendors who are sacrificing and paying to be there don't do well and don't come back then the shows suffer and attendees lose out. That's all.

Same here. Wasn't trying to be a negative nelly. I want everyone to succeed it's just such a commitment to do a show I want to support the show and the vendors there. Nothing but wishes of success to all.

I think Comet is still learning the business and coming up to speed. I've listened to their podcast and some interviews, they're a mom and pop who started fairly recently.

You're making good points, and hopefully they'll scale to the point they can do full on sponsorships!

welcome to the 90's. We have this thing called the world wide web that allows one to order stuff and have it delivered.

He is responding to customer demand and helping us to save a ton of money in shipping internationally, whats the problem? I ordered a load of them for deliver to the hotel like I do with loads of parts... I've got parts coming from marco and others shipped to the hotel also. I suspect just about everybody that is coming from outside the US is doing this. I'm also buying load of stuff from coin taker too.

Neil.

Awesome thank you for doing that it helps the tournaments and attendees. Sorry for the negativity in my comments don't take it personal. My apologies for tone. I just think those taking a week of their life to sacrifice going to a show and bringing games or doing something for the show in sponsorships deserve the sales from the show. That's all. Again sorry for being grumpy about it I just know how hard we all work to do shows and many times you lose money. I'd just like to see those there succeed is all. Stop by my booth say hi, I owe you lunch and a beer !

Very classy response. So many others would have gone off the deep end when they were questioned like that.

Sacrifice? It's called running a business and it's a business decision. You seem to talk about how often everyone loses money at these show but fail to mention how much money they can generate and create brand awareness along with future sales.

Sorry, but F cointaker! I don't give two squats about what they do to promote in their help of shows. As soon as they flipped IM 2 weeks before IMVE was announced, they lost me as a customer FOREVER. Still the shittiest thing I have seen a Stern Distributor do, and don't tell me they did not know in advance as every distributor knew a month in advance that the vault was coming. They made a conscious decision to flip their original at the bets possible time. BS way to be a distributor IMHO.

RYan is doing a solid here and supports all sorts of shows. HE is a competitve pinball player and in this case offereing to help out other competitve players. I commend him for the willingness to do so. This is not sniping any sales from cointaker as he is just offering a free shipping option for those that would already be ordering from him anyway.

I like ypu Joe, but VERY tacky to come in this thread an make such a public statement. Poor form.

Yeah, that extra $5 is a game changer. There is always a price for quality, and I believe Comet to offer an excellent value for the products they carry. BTW, what would your response be if your boss told you that he liked the work you did but he could get another guy to do it for $5 cheaper a day which really adds up, so would you mind taking a pay cut? The market will set the price, and if too high Comet would either not be profitable or out of business.

I've tried many different bulbs, and while they all may be good, personally I put the Comets at the top. Couple that with their superior support, incredible selection, and lighting innovations, they are the only choice for me (btw, PBL is my first go to for just about anything else Pinball related, with Marco's a close second and even lead for many otherwise hard to find parts, and of course I choose Titan for rings and other accessories).

Ive made 2 orders from Comet in the last month, each was a breeze and shipping to Canada was more than fair, really like this company, they have it together. Cointaker not so much, never again.
