BIG Trev Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm after 14 x new 7/8" white round inserts if anyone can help? Cheers Trev Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejudge Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 How about these ones http://www.pbresource.com/playfins.html#78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I had found them but was after someone with a less painful payment method.[emoji6] If no one else has them I'll go this way.

Jesder Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I had a look for you last night Trev, but the 10 I have are a smaller size than what you need. It's a shame I didn't see this a few days earlier as I could have included them in my Marcospec order for you. Ordering from PBR really isn't as painful as it seems. It's not as smooth as putting items into a cart and then checking out with payment on the spot, but I found them very quick to reply to emails and get my order in the system. I then went to a 7/11 and sent a moneygram. A week later I had the parts. The postage and moneygram fee would be overkill for such a small order, but don't be put off by the ordering method if you have a bunch of things to get all at once. On the plus side, once you have ordered from them, you will have an account with them which speeds up future ordering. Perhaps Doug / PSPA can special order them in with one of their next parts orders? I'm not sure if they still do special orders but might be worth an ask.

I might give PBR a try soon if I can't find them elsewhere. Cheers Trev Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajfclark Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I didn't know this, haven't seen it mentioned on their site. Any idea where the setup to use transferwise is ? I've gone through the process recently. - send email with game name, parts, etc as usual. Mention that you are a first time international customer and you'd like to pay via transferwise. - They'll assemble your order, and figure out how much shipping is. - They'll send you an email with the details for the transferwise destination. - Create your transferwise account. - Setup the destination account as advised. - Transfer the amount agreed. If you withdraw from a credit card it'll be charged as a cash advance. - You get a PDF receipt, send that to PBR - They ship your goods. Once you're established as a customer it's way simpler. - Friday I sent in an order, a list of parts, customer number, address, etc - They packed it and shipped it and emailed me the invoice - When it arrives I'll do the transferwise thing - - - Updated - - - Oh, you also want to ask for the customs/tracking number, and if you want insurance on the parcel you probably have to ask (my first one did not have insurance but it was only $50 worth, I asked for it on the second). Is this worth putting in its own thread somewhere so people can find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfclark Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Either I missed it the first time or transferwise has added a few extra payment options. This time I've used a bank transfer to an AU bank BSB and Acc with the supplied reference. Grand total of $5 in fees which is way cheaper than paying by CC would've been anyway. Overall the whole process was super painless. Ordering to receiving parts was 7 days which is pretty good given they had a holiday for Columbus day or something and didn't take orders for a week so I imagine there was a back log.

ajfclark Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Oh and apparently I can get some cash for referring? If some AA user is signing up, PM me. Then they can refer the next one, etc?

BIG Trev Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I finally got around to ordering them today. Thanks for the help guys. I'll report back on the PBR order as it progresses. Cheers Trev Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Edited October 26, 2017 by BIG Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetaste Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Pbr now use https://transferwise.com/au Thank god for that. What a friggin pain in the ass it is buying stuff from them. I've only bought from them once because of this. They could triple their sales if they stepped into the 1990's and created a shopping cart.

BIG Trev Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 I put my order in. Postage is dear as expected from America but the transferwise payment made the process painless. Cheers Trev Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
