Order from Pinball Resource

Move to Montana.

j/k

You can order through Starburst/Playdium (they'll tag it on to their order). They mark it up a bit, but overall, I believe it comes out cheaper for ya. Once they recieve, they'll fedex or purlator courier it to you.

Glad someone was able to help you!

Just curious what kind of order was it that shipping was 200$. Seem a bit nutz.

International buyers pay nuts prices for pretty much everything when it comes to pinball. I ordered a ramp decal from australia because they are the only ones making it. Total cost $40 bucks after everything was said and done.

I guess. I was going across the border once as a kid with parts to replace my clutch. They saw the boxes of parts gave me a huge hassle. Made me fill out forms and leave parts at border and I could pick up on my way out.
The border security said oh yeah smuggling auto parts is big business as parts are much more in Canada. I always found that wierd it's not like we are on different continents. It's all North America.

And the border is funny as it all depends on just the people in security. Going across once for a greatful dead show and they trashed my vehicle searching for drugs, but did not say anything about the 50 or so greatful dead shirts my buddy brought in his army duffle bag to sell.

Don't forget all the promises of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

"Barrier-free trade over the boarders!!!! (Well, barrier-free as long as you are sending jobs to Mexico.....)"

US border agents are only worried about 2 things coming into the USA: Drugs and Kinder Surprise eggs. Everything else is legal.

If we could only get the NRA to lobby for Kinder Eggs!

What if we tell them that they are candy mortar rounds?

They also worry when you get in the US and tell them you are going to a pinball show. Apparently that raises red flags and worried looks.

Went through Hell trying to import Kinder eggs for resale.......I gave up!

Choking hazard. Some USFDA law back in the 1930s states it's illegal to sell a confectionery product that contains a non-nutritive object UNLESS the trinket has functional value. Not exactly sure what that means...maybe a knife or razor blade would be okay, I guess.

Because, you know, we don't have better things to worry about in this country...
