Hi guys, here’s my first video with English subtitles!

I really like these silent buttons, but they could be a bit cheaper or they could sell only the foam washer…

Paradise arcade shop sells the foam washers.

Paradise Arcade sells their version of the foam washer, not the Sanwa version.

But they work the same

mandou bem no vídeo e vai corinthians!

sorry, i had to comment in portuguese :stuck_out_tongue:

Unfortunately there is no cheap foam washer available here in Brazil…
I’d have to do a homemade version, any ideas what kind of foam would do the job?

Contact Paradise Arcade. The button washers aren’t that expensive (plus they sell my Kahuna washers) and see what the cost of shipping would be to you. I doubt it’d be very expensive.

It’d be cool if the owner of Paradise could offer a cheaper shipping option, like sending them in a regular envelope. I can’t imagine those things requiring any kind of priority shipping, just a couple of stamps on an envelope.

They do, but in a rather interesting manner. If you have your package weight total under 13 oz, contact Susan for first class mail and follow through with the transaction. From there she will refund the difference from Priority Mail.

This. It’s why I mentioned contacting them first and see how they can help you out.

Last year or the year before (I can’t remember which right now) we lost around 3k because we offered a less expensive option without tracking. The order would ship, they would claim they never received it (some before the order even should have arrived), paypal would side with them because we didn’t have tracking and poof… we lost a lot of money.
For people who contact Susan and say, I’m xxxxx from the forums, can you try to get me a better rate on shipping, she will try to accomodate. As Moonchilde said, Kahuna’s and other silent pads, can be put in a first class envelope and shipped for very little money, however, we don’t openly offer this option because of past experience. We are working on other shipping solutions on the site, but no one has created a shipping extension that will do what I want it to. We are working on this!
