How is this vendor to deal with? I have never purchased from them.
Mainly looking for how well they ship out on time and if shipping is a
reasonable price. Thanks.

I've ordered from Bay Area Amusements for a few years. Their shipping
is fast and reasonably priced. All of the ordered items are well
packed. I've never had a problem with them, so I guess I'm a happy,
satisfied customer!

BAA = Great Fast and Reasonable shipping...
Also they have a nice selection of things you don't always see at the
other places...

I live about 3 miles from them and almost always am able to pick up
the same day I order. Rick's got a very responsive shipping
department. Never have a problem, which I can't say about some of the
other major vendors.

We try our best to ship same day (California gives us an advantage).
Shipments to east coast are remarkably fast (USPS Priority usually 2 days).
We try to ship as close to what the carrier charges (a challenge with
dimensional based pricing).

Whenever I order from BAA, I get my stuff within 3 business days.
He's in CA and I'm in MD.

That's pretty doggone good.

I've also had good luck with Bay Area. The one time I had a problem
they fixed it quickly. Rest of the time has been perfect.

I'm always had great experiences with BAA, fast shipping (usually next
day for me in the bay area). And everything is always packed very well
despite how the postage carries handle them.

I've ordered multiple times over the past 6 months with no problems at
all. Very quick. I could be dreaming here but I think I even got
Jelly Beans from them in each order.

I would say this vendor is one of the best I've ever bought from.
Good quality, fair prices, lightning fast shipping. I'm in the
carolinas and usually get my stuff two days after I order it, all the
way from California. Pretty extensive selection on their webpage,
easy to use order form, etc. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy
anything from them.

Very fast, reasonably priced shipping. I'm in southern CA so sometimes
when I order early enough in the day, it's on my doorstep the next day.

I highly recommend BAA.

They are very good, particularly as regards shipping. I've always
found them helpful and efficient. One of the vendors that actually
gives you several shipping options enabling you to choose what suits
you best.

BAA bribes the USPS. There's no other explanation for its fast
shipping.

Well, as long as everyone else knows Rick is reading this thread, I'll
also add how great a service he provides. Great parts, great prices
and the BEST shipping around. If you need something now, order from
BAA and you'll have it yesterday.

How's that, Rick. ;-)

I highly recommend. Put in an order last week and received the notice
that it shipped before the end of the day.

That is the usual story. I look to BAA first for game specific parts.

I will echo all of the good comments. Th eonly possible negative is
that they are not as able to answer the phone for orders. I wanted to
use them because I prefer their lightning shipping, but they didn't
answer th ephone. I then placed my $200 order with Marco. But I gotta
say, they are always my number 1 source. The delivery speed just don't
make sense how it gets to me so fast.

Wow! A slam and a compliment all in the same sentence. I myself have
never had to order from BayArea, but rest assured if I need a licensed
game specific part, they would be the 1st vendor I contact (via their
simple to use website) as I am as well in CA.

I have had great experiences w/ BAA..
The only problem is that darn automated email telling me about the new
parts;)
It reminds me that I need to give them more money;)

Yes!!! Thank you!!! I almost forgot about that!!!

You get a gold star for mentioning the Jelly Beans!!!

Yummmm....

They are sooo good and just what you need when you come out of the
cabinet after installing that new part they sent you, a little boost
in the blood sugar is needed after that!!! Now you can play Pinball!!!
Otherwise you would need to go take a short nap first with a soft
kitten...(oops never mind.)
