Waiting for my pachinko...

[noobie]

I ordered my pachinko from Stealth on Tuesday. I saw that the credit card charge was queued to be processed by the bank yesterday, but still no confirmation that it has shipped. Looks like the extra pachinko balls I ordered from pachislo.com are going to be here days before my first pachinko machine arrives.

I wish I was a more patient person!

We've all been there, I don't really mind the waiting, it's wondering if UPS or Fedex will destroy the package before I get it!!! Don't worry I'am sure UPS or Fedex will take very good care of your package (giving it their usual care and loving)

Cheers,

I once met the guy who was head of THX licensing for Lucasfilm. He told me that when they were testing packaging for a product, they would always ship it via UPS by their fastest method from one side of the country to the other. Apparently at the UPS sorting facility they had these racks, with the fastest shipments going on the top rack, and they would always fall off something like 6' onto the floor. He said if the package survived UPS, it was deemed suitable for anything.

If the extra balls arrive first you will have pleanty of time to hand polish each one so they are ready when the machine arrives.
Ohhhh Shinny balls.....

Actually, the machine arrived on Saturday night. I received the tracking number for it in email yesterday. I got all the balls yesterday, so I'm good to go... that is, once I figure out how to modify the volume on this thing. It's completely out of hand as it stands now. My neighbors are going to kill me (I live in a townhome).

I think UPS is short for "Unnecessary Pachinko Slaughter."

I think UPS is short for "Unnecessary Pachinko Slaughter."

I thought it was: 'Unlikley Pachinko Survives'.

I thought it was: 'Unlikley Pachinko Survives'.

And here I always thought it had the more universal message. "U Pray, Son (or "Sister").
