I would opt for CT and not worry too much about the 3 items on the dollar menu at McDonalds that I won't be able to buy this week.
And the fact that CT has the items in stock makes the point almost moot.
Quoted from Mato:Try shipping to australia.........big $$$
I hear ya there. Looked into shipping my Mustang over there in '93 to race on your salt flats, came to something like $10,000 there and back so I didn't do it.
Wow thats crazy, its about $800-$1000 to ship a pin but its the customs tax that kills it, about $1500-$2000.......its stupid!
Guessing Cointaker went priority mail while the PBB went first class. Both are price right if thats the case.

I hear you. Even the smallest package of parts is $40. I'm sorry, but the US postal system is as close to legalised piracy you can get.

Pinballbulbs not PBLife. I'll post here about which one gets here first. I've been told that shipping small, lite things like this Priority Mail is a waste, something heavier and bulkier yes.

Oops, I knew what you meant, but wrote it wrong. Was just putting together an order at PBLife
It may be a waste, but thats my guess for the price difference. I send light things Priority all the time, because it shows up in 2-3 days instead of 7 days. Especially for customers that are farther away.
When it shows I am curious, I have always gotten my CT lightening quick. But cannot speak for PBB, have yet to give them a try.
