    Default Happy Holidays and Shipment Update

    Happy Holidays Everyone!

    I hope you are all having a happy holidays and are planing on having a safe and happy new year. I just wanted to let you all know that our current shipment has cleared customs in the US and is to be delivered to our warehouse tomorrow. If you have pre-ordered a machine and paid in full it will be shipped out on Friday. If you have put down a deposit and you pay the remainder before Friday morning at 8 am EST it will also be shipped out on Friday. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to confirm that your machine is in full working order before sending payment as I will try to let you know late Thursday evening. If you don't make payment before Friday morning we will keep staff at the warehouse this weekend to try to get everything else shipped out on Monday.


    Thank you all for your continued patronage and everyone at Akimono.com wishes you the best!


    Sincerely,


    -Frank

    Everything listed on our site for pre order will be available for immediate purchase tomorrow. Almost all the machines have in stock are listed except for maybe one or two which I have to confirm have not been reserved.

    Got my Tom & Jerry machine yesterday.

    This machine is
    "INSANE"!!! Tons of animatronics, great lighting, video and sound.

    Here's a short video of the machine in attraction mode.

    What if...​the ​HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?

    I just wanted to say my shipment of Tom and Jerry arrived last night. I had sent an email inquiry after ordering and got a quick response which I appreciate. The outer box was a bit manhandled by FedEx, but the important part was that the packing kept the inner box fine. Packing totally did its job despite what FedEx does!

    I picked it up at the FedEx center here rather than having them break it taking it up to my door. While standing there I watched as they actually rolled the box over end-over-end to get it on the sled rather than picking it up. I say rolled rather than flipped as they already had done enough that the outer box didn't really have edges or corners anymore. Kind of like a beanbag surrounding the solid inner box.

    I've bookmarked the site. I've got another I have my eye on there.

    I'll have to say, Frank does pack his machines very well. I've ordered two from him and both exterior boxes have looked like yours, but the interior box and machine looked good.

    I'am sure you will love your Tom & Jerry. It is a very entertaining machine. I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Yup. One outer "sacrifice box" filled with popcorn, so the inner box is unscathed. The only thing that worries me about that is if the whole thing gets dropped, the momentum is liable to cause heavy parts to break loose, no matter the stuffing. So. A big "Don't Drop" is always helpful. Or "molest if you must, just please refrain from throwing off the truck - I don't care how heavy it is, you weak wuss. Maybe get a job moving doilies next time". Yeah. That's the ticket.
    Woof!
