[QUOTE="zdjh22, post: 274178, member: 3603"] [b]Heads up - hardware purchase requires international wire transfer[/b] Just a heads up for potential US purchasers of an Arcooda cabinet. Their updated ordering info went up over the weekend ([url]https://www.arcoodapinball.com/[/url]), but you still need to submit an inquiry via e-mail or their web form. I submitted an inquiry shortly after their webpage was revised and received their response this morning. Although the software can be purchased by credit card, ordering the hardware involves giving them a deposit ($1500). That deposit has to be sent via wire transfer to their bank (HSBC Hong Kong). Beware of possible delays on such a transfer. I’ve never done an international wire transfer and am researching it now (Xoom, MoneyGram, your own bank, etc.). From their Facebook page regarding tradeoffs between the $499 software and the hardware purchases ($1500 deposit now, delivery October, or purchase after June 30 2018 but before June 30 2019 AND buy the $499 software now): [I]The purchase of the $499usd will be credited to any Arcooda Pinball cabinet purchase (as long as you order an Arcooda Pinball before June 30th 2019). No need to pay $1500usd to get this deal. You MUST purchase the software however before 30th June 2018 as the license expires. However, if you do purchase an Arcooda Pinball now, we will pay for the transport from China to Australia, or USA and hopefully to one central logistic centre in Europe for easy/freight savings, together with an additional game Timeshock Arcade Edition.[/I] Not getting Timeshock isn’t a big deal to me, but I am guessing that the free transport to Chicago or Los Angeles (they’ve evidently added LA as an end point in addition to Elk Grove Village just outside of Chicago) would be a big cost savings for those buying the lowest cost cabinet that is made overseas. Presumably the Ultra and Standard editions, if they will be manufactured in Chicago, will not have a transport cost except from Chicago to their final US destination.
