    The HLG site came up on a google search for the dimensions of a pin I am trying to buy and in reading on in the ad I came across this in their "Free Shipping" statement (Note: they are supposed to be located in San Francisco):

    "Free Delivery & Installation (worth $150):

    Delivery & Installation is free to most locations within mainland US.

    However for locations further north than Glasgow or in Cornwall there may be an additional charge depending upon your exact location. Please call our friendly customer service team on +1628-225-2444 for a quote.

    Delivery and Installation will be made to the ground floor room of your choice, provided we can park our delivery van near to your property, have easy access and no steps or steep slopes to negotiate.

    Important: Please check the measurements for the pinball machine above and ensure it will fit through your doorways."

    Glasgow or Cornwall??? Like Glasgow Washington or Cornwall Montana? LOL!!!
    Seriously, watch out for scams! I got taken for a $100 deposit in my ignorance on how prevalent scammers are in the pinball world. Pinside is one of the best resources for sure. And as the old saying goes 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'!
