Can't help you specifically with Happs as I haven't ordered but I haven't heard any horror stories and they are a large well established company so things should be rosy.

Regarding customs fee's its a bit of a lottery. Sometimes you get stung and sometimes you don't, it seems to depend on whether they bother to check the parcel or not.
I didn't touch it....honest!

I've ordered from Happs. Generally they'll send your order to Happ Europe and ship it from there. It's in the UK so shipping isn't too bad.

You can contact Happ Europe directly via email: europe@happcontrols.com

Not sure what percentage of the full US catalogue they carry - but I've always been able to get what I want from them.

Now that Suzo have taken over the UK branch of Happ, you cannot purchase anything from them unless you have a buisness account with them or if you are spending over

suzo are dumb

how much business are they missing in not dealing with smaller orders.

yet on their website advertises "home arcade" goods!

however my experience was that everything had to be sent over from the US anyway and took ages to arrive

hell...where will i get my pica vinyl now ???

the cost to send from US will be ridiculous

i think there are Happs resellers here on BYOAC - if they are willing to ship to the UK they could get a lot of business from the US
