Australia Post pricing change

Australia Post Logo

Pincade uses Australia Post exclusively for shipping wherever you happen to be…. whether it’s Toowoomba, Toronto, Tarneit or Toulouse you can check out and postage will be calculated and displayed correctly. 

Chose regular post if it’s OK that the item might take a few days to get to you or chose express post if you’d like it sooner – potentially overnight if you’re in a capital city in Australia.

Australia Post changed their pricing on 1 July 2025 and now offer an extra small option!  If your purchase is under 250g and fits in an extra small bag you’ll only pay $9.70 for regular or $12.70 for express post.

New products for February 2025

Let’s get 2025 going with a bang! Sanwa JLF and JLX joysticks are back in stock and we’ve got a few new products to show you. Let’s go!

Seimitsu Bullet Lever deep black

This new BULLET LEVER HANDLE-SK is Urushi-ish black. This looks more black and shiny than BULLET LEVER HANDLE-K – Original black.
Urushi is a deep, rich brown or black hue achieved by applying multiple layers of lacquer, a natural resin from the lacquer tree.
Urushi lacquer, used in Japan since the Jomon period (9000 years ago.), is considered one of the oldest types of lacquer in the world.
But, This is not real Urushi. It’s Urushi-ish. The real Urushi is expensive. ^^;

Ultimarc’s RGB LED illuminated gold leaf switch buttons are now stocked. Hook them up to a PACLED64 and let them shine!

Brook Beech balltop

Brook’s wooden balltops are unique, no two are ever the same. Machined from Beech and finished with a non-slip finish.

Has an M6 thread suitable for most Sanwa, Seimitsu and clone joysticks.

As always if there’s something you’re after and you don’t see it in our store reach out to us via the Contact Us page. We’re keen to stock more of the products you want and if we end up getting your product in we’ll give you a discount voucher in thanks.

We really appreciate all your reviews and orders – the bigger we can make Pincade together the cheaper we can offer a wider range of pinball and arcade parts.
