The OP issue with PBL shipping cost is valid.
They only ship UPS ground.
When ordering 1 item it’s expensive.
Example for fun I just went to PBL to see what cost would be to ship a plastic washer to same area code 60142 as they reside in.
Shipping cost was $13.
I would never order 1 washer,
Best prices on parts and shipping is Pinball Resource hands done.
Delivery time are really out of suppliers hands. If I order a part on Saturday don’t expect it to ship out till Monday earliest.
