Kerry- As of Jan 1 this year, 2017. They stopped selling to USA customers. Seems like bad bussiness, but it had something to do with Rick at PPS. Basically they would make parts and not use the licensing agreements.
Hope that helps.
Thus thread was started to work a round shipping.

I have several pm’s from people including yourself, if you can wait until the new year I will get this ordered for you, as well as sorting out orders for everyone that has sent me a pm.

Id like to be added to that list. Gladly buy you something or pay for your services plus shipping. Thank you for helping out!

No problem at all consider yourself added to the list, if anyone else is interested let me know as it makes it a lot easier for me to put in a large single order from Pinball Center, that I can then repackage into smaller individual orders.

did the same thing yesterday, same plastics with some other stuff. he emailed me, no way around it with his company, but suggested a third party to get them, but several people have been ripped off going this route.

put me on that list, will gladly pay for your time.

I ordered their flintstones remakes and their Robocop remake plastics, and they just plain sucked. some holes drilled wrong some parts didn't even fit

Check out the TRON owners thread if you need any peace of mind or any reassurance is needed, I helped about 20 pinsiders order replacement Tron Spinning Disc Rubbers from Pinball Center, no issues to report, 100% items received.

I offer simply because I have had multiple Pinsiders in the US help me out with parts orders and even stuff that’s non pinball related like eBay items, similar to this situation where I couldnt get them shipped direct from US to UK, so I have had to use a third party, so I am simply returning that generosity.

Add me to the list!

no one was blaming mailbox de for anything, I didn't say nowhere in my post that they were the ones screwing people. I just said some people were ripped off and still didn't have their packages or refunds months later. settle down beavis!

mailbox set up... ordering tomorrow.

Please add me to the list. PM sent also and much thanks.

I'm interested as well.

@J85M, pm sent to be added to the list.

Got everyone added and 90% of things ordered just waiting on a few parts for w couple of people, once they are in and I receive a final invoice I will get pm’s/invoices to everyone.

For you guys using mail forwarding from Germany - are you paying VAT? if not, how are you checking out to avoid it?

Did anyone get anything from J85M? Crickets for me, for over 2 months

just placed an order with pinball.center and had sent to mailbox.com, I'll report back

Added over 6 years ago: Edit: mailboxde.com

I guess autocorrect got ahold of it

Placed an order with delivery to mailboxde.com. Will update as things progress.

My list is growing. Please let us know.

Thank, we appreciate it.

I have a fairly large order i'd love to place, but I have zero desire to mess with the forwarding. Especially considering the excess VAT cost....

Without getting too technical, no it's not. You can get VAT reimbursements for international purchases if you are consuming goods outside the country. They shouldn't charge the VAT either if it's getting consumed elsewhere.

If you go to their website, they actually price it w/o VAT for international shippers based on destination locale. The VAT actually changes significantly based on the destination juristidicaiton based on where it is consumed.

I don't know what the issue is with US shipping with them (it seems to only be a US issue; they ship elsewhere happily).

I believe it was Rick at PPS sending them a C&D.

Figured as much. Thanks, Rick!

Mailbox.de received the package and just payed for the forwarding which I though was very reasonable. Kind of weird you have to put credits in your account and then pay for the shipment rather than just pay for the shipment.

Worked for me with minimal issues. It did take about a month as my package got stuck in customs for a while. Tracking number quit tracking once it got to customs but it ended up showing up eventually. If needed, I'll do it again.

Just got my package. Much faster than I expected.

For anyone considering buying plastics from them, at least the ones they make themselves, consider yourself forewarned. Better than a broken one I guess. Notice the missing dots on the cursed sign, mounting holes not cut all the way through, opacity of the backing and scratch(?) on the back that shows on the front once the plastic is lit from behind. Colors kind of off too, although not quite as bad as the photo makes them look. Really a shame since they have some unobtanium plastics.

I think it's time for me to try this...I need that damn tron white circle

I need Flintstones Sling Shot Plastics. If anyone is placing an order and can get me a set?

check the tron club thread - we're about to put in a big order from them. Maybe we can get an order for you too....

yah real simple. Signed up, or thought I did, bought the part, then an email that it can't send because I doidn't include my company name. Do you have to be a company to buy a pinball plastic? I filled everything out as an individual. OK done. Then an email that I must fill out power of attorney form, done. Choose carrier, done. Oooops form reset all the info I just filled in, do it again, pay withcredit card , ooops, when the form reset it defaulted to Czech post NOT deutch, hope I get this fucking thing some day. Why the fuck this guy can't ship normally is beyond me.

It is. The company name is "Mailboxde.com GmbH" otherwise the post wont hand them over the parcel (because there is noone with you name there), wich is exactly what happened.

Of course that's easy to understand in "hindsight".

I do the mail where I work and there's lots of packages coming in to the company but with no recepient name on it (so I wouldn't know who to give it to) and the other way around (wich I could accept but with thousands of peaople working there I can't check if the person really works there). So to be on the safe side in terms of insurance I reject a lot of those packages.

hi, can anyone order something for me to ship to the usa from the pinball center? i just want to get a translite. i contacted pinball center and they sent me to this thread for the work around but this just seems so convoluted to me...

All,
I work pretty closely with Pinball.Center...
If you have something specific you'd like imported to the usa; let me know.
For now; I'm not going to import any "copyprotected" materials (like plastics w/ art) but mechanical parts are a possibility.

Well, I really wanted to buy the color bumper Mylar pieces and some Star Trek data east instruction cards. If you're making a order let me know and take care.

Color bumper Mylar pieces?
Can you provide direct links to the products your interested in?

Yes,he's right.

I'm confused; Are you talking about pop bumper bodies?
If so; That's been something I've stocked for about a year or more.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/transparent-sternballywilliams-pop-bumper-bodies

I'll consider it.

Wanted everyone to know I just paid a Pinball.Center invoice for the following parts:

Frosted "Clear" Polycarbonate Drop targets in three styles (as a market test):
Modern Stern
Legacy Williams
Data East

Additionally I ordered a small quantity of Pop Bumper Mylar in all colors. I reordered some more Chrome and Gold Popbumper bodies and some #tron-(le) Clear Discs. I ordered some misc parts for customers requested via PM but had one customer backout on the Clear Plastic set for Road Show ... I'll probably put those plastics here on the market place unless someone has specific interest.
