Friday afternoon I placed 3 orders from 3 vendors.

My largest order went to Marco Specialties. It was placed first.

My second largest order went to Mad Amusements. It was placed second.

My smallest order went to Bay Area Amusements. It was placed last.

TODAY I received my packages from both Bay Area Amusements and Mad Amusements! I only paid for USPS Priority shipping.

The Bay Area Amusements order isn't a big surprise being they are located in Northern California and that's not too far from where I live in Idaho.

The Mad Amusements order was a BIG surprise. They are located in New Jersey and managed to get an order placed Friday here by Monday morning. WOW. That rocks!

My Marco Specialty order? Well, I got a FedEx tracking number sent to me Friday. It still didn't work today so I called. Yup... the package hasn't left the building. It's going out today via FedEx ground. My guess is that I will have a Friday delivery... I HOPE. Knowing those bastards at FedEx it will be a next MONDAY delivery. BOOO!

I'm not pissed at Marco... just a little disappointed they weren't one the ball like Mad Amusements. That said... the order WAS about twice the size.
 
Pinball Life, Mad Amusements, Little Shop of Games, and Bay Area Amusements are my favorite vendors by far. I don't dislike Marco, but it's my last stop when looking for something I need due to the higher prices, shipping costs, and shipping speed. Also, Marco has done some odd things like going to RGP and writing fake reviews and positive feedback about his company.

Pinball Life is still my #1 and unless something crazy happens I doubt that will change.
 
UPDATE: My Marco Specialty order arrived....

....and of course the rubber kit is missing a 1 1/2" rubber that I so badly need. And of course there is no one there to take my call because it's 5:55PM there which means I can't bitch until Monday... which means it will be at least until NEXT Friday until I get the rubber I need... which pisses me off something fierce.
