CHRISTMAS SALE! from Five Brothers Trading Company

[Drunkenclam]

I suspect it was put in to temporary storage before being shipped from the US to Oz

Well they JUST had their Obon festival sale...

NINE MONTHS???

You are kidding, right?

Or was there some sale after the December 2012 sale?

I can take months for something of that size to make it all the way to Australia, although that does seem extra long!

Also, I got the the Eva Pachislo around that same time Jon,and it came with tokens
Sorry to hear your didn't receive any
and after all that time

100% correct.

Sent to Illinois in January, stored until June, 1 month to Australia in a shared container by boat, straight into storage here ever since.

Opened the box last weekend - zero tokens inside.

Talking to John at Five Brothers now and hoping they make this right - the tokens are confirmed as never being sent because I wasn't a US customer?

If they shipped to Illinois, then you were effectively a US customer in that sense, regardless of where the payment came from. Seems like a lame excuse.

To help your cause, you might tell them that the Pachitalk forum is watching how they handle this, and the outcome could very well affect their future sales to members of that forum.

If they were smart, they would treat you well, apologize for the mistake, ship out the tokens free of charge,making it right and leaving a good impression on us. But we will see.

Awaiting confirmation of them shipping replacements from Japan direct to Australia.

[candyflip]

Still awaiting confirmation of shipped tokens...

[heima]

Give em a week to reply. It would take that long for them to reply to me, and I wanted to pre-order stuff from them. Free money and they took their time. Go Figure.

[candyflip]

All done - the thing arrived here in Australia today, sent on Friday last!!

wow... impressed.

John at Five Brothers - thank you for getting this done, quickly, with minimum of fuss. Appreciate that.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED guys!

Ok, they scored some points! I now might be willing to take a chance with these guys. But I will have to insist that there is no sales tax for Californians.

I know this really is a post for selling pachinko machines as an entire unit, but am looking for a replacement part. I do not know if you sell pachinko parts, but I am looking for a 2007 Taiyo Laluz frame ball launcher motor for a King Kong pachinko if you have one for sale. You can reach me by my email address on my profile or send me a message. I am trying to figure out how much one would cost shipped within the United States
