Title: First order
Post by: Seith on January 19, 2012, 03:25:40 pm
About to pick up my first purchase towards the arcade cabinet project - a bag of buttons and a 3" trackball at half-price through Happ - and I couldn't be more excited!

Can't wait for the better weather so that I can start cutting (likely mid-April or early-May).

Half price doesn't mean much when they charge ridiculous shipping and handling charges without telling you how much they will be ahead of time.
  :lol  Expect to pay $20-30 shipping, unless they ship the trackball separate...in which case they'll charge you that much for each shipment.

If you don't mind me asking.. What was half price?   $90?

Do NOT order directly from Happ!  Contact Divemaster127 who carries almost 100% of Happ's inventory.  He has realistic shipping charges as opposed to Happ.

Whoops - I see where you say pick up.  If you're local and picking up without any fees, ignore me.   :)

Still, check out DM's site for pricing.  He's cheaper than Happ on about everything.
