Hey guys I am getting close to ordering the buttons and joysticks and stuff. How much does Happ charge for shipping. I can't remember what they charge? I looked at the Ponyboy website and it said coming soon. Hey Ponyboy if you read this how do I order from you.
Thanks,
rdowdy95

hey man! Wheres the pictures?
You need to send a personal message to Ponyboy. I've bought from Divemaster and he's been very responsive.
-
you can send a pm to either ponyboy or myself(divemaster127) thru the buy/sell thread, I have all joysticks & buttons ready to ship right now
thanks

PonyBoy (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=36770.0)
DiveMaster (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47066.0)
Don't order direct from Happ.
Cheers.
EDIT: post crossed with DM's post.

If you order directly from Happ, then you'll be charged a fortune for shipping. Definately order from ponyboy or divemaster. You can get ahold of ponyboy either by sending him a pm or an email: sales@rollieelectronics.com

Thanks guys I am getting some cash together, and will be PMing one or the other with my order.
Thanks
PS Pics will be coming soon to my thread. I am actually just going to try to do my control panel first so I can play on it some.
LOL! I just don't know what to do. Man it is going to be expensive. I need to get bunch of stuff.
-
Expensive?!
Thats no way to talk... how much are those memories worth?
Thats right, I went there.
-
divemaster is great I have ordered from him and he does not charge nearly what happ does
-
I've had great transactions with both Divemaster and Ponyboy. Very reputable, fair pricing, and MUCH better shipping rates. I would definately have no aprehension about buying from either of them in the future.
Xam

i don't know what you are talking about being expensive. you just whip out the plastic, charge charge charge, and then take a look at the bill at the end of the month. :dizzy: but yeah, you can't put a price on the fond memories like leapinlew said. oh yes, he did go there. hahaha

Friends don't let friends buy from Happs.
REDIKYOULUS SHIPPING :P
-
Can those guys beat 1.89(with shipping) per button using 2 day priority mail on a qty 10?

I bet ponyboy can. But you should just PM either one of them and find out.
-
To be fair, if you are close to Happ's location, you can just go pick your order up from the warehouse (realize this usually isn't the case though).

dude, that sounds like a fun road trip to me. a lil 6 hour drive to las vegas from where i live. 500 miles @ $3.49/gallon for gas here in cali. hmm...i think that would still be cheaper than shipping from happs.
i don't mean to knock happs, its just that when i dealt with them in the past, they didn't care too much for me spending small money, thus i think that's why i had poor service.

Lets be realistic... This is not a hobby for people with weak wallets... If you want a cheap hobby collect used stamps or better yet back covers from toilets in public restrooms. I'm sure if you put a vinyl coating on those toilet backs you can increase your profit by 100 percent and since these can be found in abundance locally shipping is free. :laugh2:

Comsumers have been spoiled by free shipping from the major on-line retailers.
When I compaired the amount I was charged to what I would have been charged if I shipped the same package*, it was within a few percents, plus or minus.
And don't ship UPS ground if you buy something big; they charge as if you shippedminimum 30, 70, or 90 lbs after certain sizes. (DHL & FedEx ground also have a size cost, but are more graded.) And don't ship air at all with big packages.
The only 'legit' complaints I've heard here were with shipping bezels or other large stuff & not listing a shipping price when you order, and bad service. PonyBoy and DiveMaster are great, cheaper, and they are more up front about costs, true, and I'd buy from them. But 95% of the happs shipping complaints are due to what UPS charges, not happs.
*Same in size and weight, which means doing into the "detailed time and cost" on the web page, not just the "quick time & cost". And put in the correct size, as one inch can be the difference between normal and way too high shiping costs (http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/prepare/oversize.html).
