    Default Shipping from overseas to the US

    I have heard that they were not allowing pachinkos to be brought into the united states after the first week of October, is this true???

    We were told by a salesman from slot pachinko. I thought it seemed a little strange, thought it was just a sales pitch to get us to buy NOW...I just thought that someone would know for sure on here.

    First time I have heard this, are you sure they weren't just talking about themselves importing them into the US??

    That a load of poo, i just talk to curt like a week ago about getting the biohazard pachislo and he said its going to take about 4-5 months because he waiting to fill up the crate, shipping it over to the usa, preparing it for home use. So i wouldn't believe what he said. Sounds like a selling pitch to me.

    this is not the first time I have heard of him saying this to someone. his other one that I fine very annoying is "I have 50 of this pachinko in a container comeing this way and 48 of them have been paid for in full already"

    I am not saying I will not deal with him but I can't trust a thing he says ever

    Curt told me the same story about not being to "import pachinkos due to a new law dealing with wooden board games", and I wouldn't be able to exchange a Sankyo Orange Frame with a Sankyo Red Frame on an Evangelion 2 if I bought it because he is too busy with his "move to Europe"...

    I swear Good Prices, Good Packing, Good Speed, Good etc., but not so good person to deal with.

    Thanks a lot Iowa!

    It shouldn't be hard to get around this, at least for pachinko. You have a wood frame, which seems to be the same on most all of them and the plywood of the cell, which shouldn't be that hard to do either - what are they gonna do, test them? Now Pachislo, with their composite cases would be difficult, but also not impossible. Someone figures out what's in one, then you just blanket that to all you import, like I said, are they going to test all of them? 'Hey, this little sliver is from a Larch, what do you think your pullin', mister!'
