Does is normally take this long?

if it's anything like usps, it won't update till it's delivered.
 
It was probably sent on a boat. Maybe it is sitting in a crate on a dock somewhere waiting in line for customs?
 
so i don't know a ton about galaga 88, but why are you having one shipped from europe to here? was the cost a lot better than finding locally, or are they hard to find?

Yes they are hard to find, took me months to find this one. Of course someone here lets me know about a possible $100 full machine this week. But that is the way the cookie crumbles.
 
My Galaga '88 was shipped on the 4th, and the tracking just stops on the 5th. When I send things the other way USA to Europe it is much quicker.

It depends upon what you are shipping and how you shipped it. You can UPS or FedEx something overseas and it typically goes by air. If you paid for the arcade to be shipped like that, the price would be exorbitant.

If the arcade cabinet was freighted it is likely coming on a boat. I use ocean freight all of the time for my company. It is slow and there are no updates. I would expect it to take 3-4 weeks.

Do you mind me asking what you paid to ship your Galaga 88 arcade machine? Just curious...

It is just the board, $217 shipped by Swiss post. I am putting the board in a empty Midway cabinet.
 
OK, that makes more sense to me. :) When I first read that you were shipping the game from Europe I couldn't believe it.
 
Sorry, I have to...
