    Default Ground shipping from Japan

    Hi there!
    Thought I would ask if anyone ever had pachinko machines shipped ground from Japan and how long is the norm for home delivery? All the machines I have bought and traded through the years were here in the states. I have 6 machines coming in and of course its way to expensive to do air. Was just wondering if anyone has been there done that?

    I've sent many items via ground/ship (not pachinko or pachislo machines, mind you) from Japan and they usually take anywhere from 1-2 months. Perhaps you can try SAL or EMS if you want them faster.

    I was told that these machines cannot be sent by sea (equivalent to land) from japan due to their size.

    Well,I wanted to go EMS but it would have cost $2000.00 shipping which is really high I think. The guy I'm buying from used to live in New York but since moved back to Japan until summer next year. He don't have any slots though. Its 3 star wars,2 spiderman2 and one sonic the hedgehog. I think this might be the last buy from him until he comes back to the states. He said it would take about 45 days but was hoping maybe it would be faster than that.

    Ask your friend to maybe look into SAL便 (linked; Japanese). I'm not sure if they can handle that much weight and bulk but it's worth a look and the cost is usually somewhere between Air and Sea Mail rates.

    Yeah, if rupan didn't know Japanese, we would likely have kicked him off long ago.
