Update & S.A.M.I./Panzer History
My last contact with CoinOpShippers was last week after I agreed to the shipment and I hadn't been contacted by the shipping company. So I left a voicemail yesterday at lunch. Still no response this morning so I sent yet another email explaining that I was dissappointed in the lack of communication and a few additonal thoughts.
I received an email immediately from Jeff apologizing and call on my cell while at Chipotle' (another one of my addictions) for a lunch meeting from the shipper which was Freightwire. Megan was helpful apologized profusely had me confused with another customer and set my shipment up quickly with no trouble. So all is well and they use FedEx Freight.
I asked for a tracking number she stated when they shipped she'd provide one via email. Confirmed it was liftgate service on both ends. A small bump in the road I digress...
So moving on I contacted the seller to let him know they'd be calling. I asked him about the games, why he was getting rid of them, as I always believe every game has a story/history...right?
He told be that they belonged to a gentlemen who is in his 80's, recently had a stroke, has an arcade business /and a arcade, and has owned these games as long as he could remember. He was selling them for this gentlemen as he no longer could maintain the arcade or business in Ashland, Oregon.
Thought it was cool story to share...I'll keep you posted on what the games look like when they arrive (very nervous)...update when the games arrive...
