Chicago Gaming Company (19)NEW Pinball Machine & Arcade Game Inventory (Please read the few paragraphs below as it is very useful info. ALL new games are listed below these paragraphs)This Page Updated 07/21/22 - Our inventory is always changing You can view our used/restored games here Why buy from us? We'll just let our customers tell you why. Sometimes we have to update this link, so if no workie, just GOOGLE US AND CHECK OUR REVIEWS! ALL 5 STARS! This is the single most important paragraph you will read on this or any other arcade game/pinball website:
WE OFFER A 3RD PARTY INSURANCE POLICY, PALLET UP-SIZE OPTION & WE ONLY SHIP ON TOP RATED CARRIERS! Why is this important? Well, because arcade games go on LTL (Less Than Truckload) semi truck freight carriers when traveling long distances. They can't go on a UPS or FED EX truck. (Well they can, but that is also LTL just a different division than your local driver in the small trucks) So what all this means is when freight goes LTL it is put into into a freight class category. That category is covered based on the commodity. Most EVERY SINGLE freight carrier ONLY covers $1500.00 on coin operated pinball machines and arcade games. NEW OR USED no matter what you paid for it! This includes the specialized "White Glove" carriers. Our 3rd party policy only adds $40 to your quote. We have used this policy multiple times and it is a much much smoother process than trying to deal with the carrier. Although damage is rare, it happens! If it happens we handle every single aspect of this process AND we alsoy the deductible for you! The second part of this equation is the pallet size. Pinball manufactures use a 31X31 pallet so they can get 3 wide in semi trucks and/or containers heading overseas. This means the size of the pallet is the same size of the box. Why does this matter? Well, this means the various other freight traveling with your game can hit your game since the pallet and the games box are the same size. Transferring the game over to a standard 40X48 pallet allows more space around your game to help minimize the risk of other freight or forklift drivers damaging it. The other thing it greatly increases is the inability for the freight to tip over. A pinball machine on a 40X48 pallet is much more planted and creates a larger footprint. A 31X31 can tip over quite easily if the truck hits a curb and it is not strapped in to the wall of the trailer. Once that game gets loaded on the trailer at our dock it is mandatory that we have the driver strap that game in. Does it stay that way from truck to truck? We would hope so, but honestly once it leaves our dock it is no longer under our control. We have no idea as it goes from terminal to terminal and truck to truck. One thing is certain though, if it's not strapped in and it's on a 40X48 pallet it's much harder to tip over! This pallet upsizing service does change the freight cost because it puts it into the next freight class category due to its larger footprint. This service including the 40X48 pallet is $45. The last piece if vital info you should know about is the actual carrier. There are some great carriers and not so great carriers out there. We have used them all over the past 25 years. The not so great, yeah there cheap but they have extremely high claims for damaged freight. Years ago as a company we made the decision to stay off them. They are just not worth the savings. It's minimal in retrospect of what these games can cost, not to mention replacing a pristine fully restored original game or even a brand new game that is no longer in production! We will ONLY use an above average rated carrier to transport your game. The old saying "you get what you pay for" can not be stressed enough in LTL shipping! For the cost of this high end equipment, don't skimp on the shipping! Trust us on these, we have learned the hard way! Some of these carriers are paid by the skid. You can stamp, write and scream DO NOT STACK all over the freight and paperwork but guess what they will do? Stack on top of it to get more pallets on the truck. We have had it happen. Last, EVERY GAME gets a tip and tell affixed to the shipment. This assures you and us that the freight during transit has remained upright and has not fallen over. This is also a huge sign for the carriers to handle with care when they see these indicators on the freight. Once they see a tip and tell they tend to understand that they are being monitored and that the freight IS in fact fragile! All this, along with the service of upsizing the pallet to help minimize the risk of damage are strongly recommended if your shipping your game any significant distance. You are looking at an $85 investment to protect your thousands of dollars in product that you just purchased. If your game is eligible for free shipping your only cost would be the $85 for these two services. We would cover your actual freight costs if that promotion is valid for your game. PLEASE NOTE WITH COVID SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, SOME STERN GAMES WILL STILL QUALIFY FOR FREE RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE SHIPPING WITH LIFTGATE SERVICE (TO THE LOWER 48 ONLY) SEE EACH GAME LISTING FOR DETAILS AND IF THE PROMO IS ACTIVE FOR THAT TITLE OR MODEL. WE SHIP ANYWHERE! FILL OUT THIS FORM FOR A QUOTE!
