Clover Collectables 2021 Import Announcement

[AlexfromCloverCollectable]

Hello, I am glad to announce we are starting our 2021 Japanese Pachinko and Pachislo import. As such we are taking any requests for presales of machines.

If you have your eye on anything please let us know. When we send our list of requests to Japan they will advise us on availability. Once we can confirm that the machine you are interested in is available and the pricing is ok with you we will require a 50% down payment.


We will be importing Balls, Tokens, and Cabinets as well so if there are any peripherals you are looking for let us know and we will look for those as well.


Hopefully international shipping will be back closer to normal once we initiate the order but in these uncertain times we cannot quote a specific time frame but will give updates as things progress.

If you are interested in anything please send us an email at Contact@clovercollectables.com


Thank you all for your continued support through the years.

Hi Alex,

Could you see if it is possible to get me a price on a Tokio Deluxe pachinko made

By Heiwa/Amt, which is an older model. Maybe 2012.

They also have a newer model available also Tokio Premium.

See what you can do.

Thanks,
Jerry Schweiger

Sadly it took forever and cost more than any previous shipment due to ocean freight costs tripling, but it is finally in!

Better late then never, now 3 website in the USA to compare high prices

The problem has been shipping. Ten years ago when we started you could reliably ship a single machine for under $80 to almost anywhere in the US. Now it is hard to keep it under $200-250 and to make things worse recently a container went from $6-8K before all the extra costs up to about $25K. This means that now even to start making a profit you have to sell for over $500 and god forbid a machine breaks in transit or someone wants a return - one of these will drain the profits off of about ten sales and they are harder and harder to fight to the point of not being able to and just having to take it as a sunk cost of doing business. Before with efficiency maximized and cheap machines we could sell a machine for about $350 and probably still roughly break even, but now it is riskier and more expensive. The funny thing is the actual base cost of machines really hasn't gone up by too much, it is about 90% shipping / logistics costs.

We are always going to try to be the cheapest in the US, but right now there isn't any way to do it much cheaper until ocean freight gets down to pre pandemic levels (which I think now it is finally getting cheaper, but still way more than it used to be) and / or when fedex and UPS drop their prices (which I doubt will ever happen). Hopefully if we do get decent sales we can get back to doing annual or more than annual shipments again, but until something changes in the system, the market will still settle on a higher price point since nobody has a good way of cutting costs or risks right now.

So on your website, prices include shipping? Also UPS/FedEx can't hire anyone, so my last machine made it without a dent in the box, teenagers don't want to work, so box was handled by people that cared, took a extra week once in state, but survived the warehouse

I have to double check with Alex but I believe they do now (for continental US). We did briefly play with not free shipping, but it is difficult to get the system to handle it properly and I think we switched back before updating the site with the new machines.
