We primarily contract Canada Post or FedEx for all our Ground delivery services. Custom built arcade systems are shipped out via specialized large freight carriers. We are open to shipping using customer accounts, please contact us before placing your order to set this up for your shipment.

You can track your shipment either by viewing your Order Confirmation Email. It contains the tracking information you can use on the canadapost.ca/tracking website.

Orders placed by 9am MST Monday - Friday will ship the same day.

Please note - this schedule is the same for shipping methods such as Expedited, Priority, Next Day, etc. All orders, regardless of shipping method, need to be placed by 9am MST to ship the day they are ordered, otherwise they will be shipped the following business day. Expedited shipping methods count business days only. For example, an order shipped out on a Thursday will arrive on a weekday, not the weekend.

Most international orders shipping "International Expedited" will arrive in 6-12 business days and "Overseas" orders arrive in 2-8 weeks. Orders to the U.S usually arrive at their destination within 5 -10 business days. For domestic orders, your package usually arrives within 2-7 business days.

Shipping rates are based on the weight and dimensions of your package as well as your location. You can select your method of shipping on your shopping cart screen and see the associated costs for each method. The carriers used have an integrated system on our website that calculates rates for us, we do not control the shipping rates for these carriers.

The LED Upgrade adds the beauty of illumination to your arcade. All of your push buttons and trackball would be illuminated. A small upgrade fee applies. Non-Fusion LED lights are lit by means of a tiny bulb whereas Fusion buttons are illuminated via a little diode mounted on a PCB inside the button. The LED option comes with a RGB trackball that has 50 color options while the button colors that are chosen stay "static", they do not change colors.

The Fusion button upgrade is the most popular upgrade of all.

Older analog-style buttons rely on your finger to push back (against the resistance of a spring) internal plungers to make contact with the microswitch to send a signal. Fusion buttons have a built-in gold leaf microswitch which means faster signal relay and a softer feel on your hands after extended use.

Fusion buttons are rated at over 5-million cycles and are guaranteed to extend the life of your arcade. When combining this upgrade with the LED Upgrade, you'll see the finest illumination possible thanks to multiple diodes mounted inside the button on a tiny PCB vs. the alternative LED buttons which utilize a tiny LED bulb. 

By adding a coin door you can expect the true nostalgic look of an arcade to truly shine through. All coin doors will accept Canadian or American quarters, however the small single coin doors allow the coins to simply drop into the bottom of the arcade. You will have to supply your own catch system for these options.

The Suzo Happ double coin door complete is an authentic fully functional door that includes back-lit coin returns and a cash collection box.

If you are interested in adding some personal flare to your machine, choose our custom design package and our Customer Service department will work with you to design your custom theme.

If there's an idea in your mind that you're having issues articulating? No worries. We offer Graphic Design time to bridge that gap for you. If you think a service like this may be helpful, it is available online, but email in advance if you're not too sure if your idea will require extra time.

At this time we only offer decals for Custom Built Arcades. Decals are NOT sold separately.

All of our arcade systems are "For Personal Use Only". This means you are not allowed to charge money to play these games. "For Personal Use Only" means that your arcade system is only for non-commercial and non-profit uses.

The game lists are pre-configured and cannot be added to.  We have created a individual sub-lists within the 5000 game list that comes standard in our signature series so you don't have to scroll through the entire game list to play the games you love the most. The menu is very easy and effecient to navigate through.

When you purchase a personalized arcade system your build goes through a series of steps. You will receive emails as your system moves through the build process. Status emails update you as to what phase of the build your system is in. Examples of status emails would include "Assembled and Painted", "In Wiring and Electronics", and everyone's favorite, "Ready for Pickup or Delivery".

Retro Active Arcade machines are manufactured modularly so as to make at home repairs/installs simple and easy for the customer. Typically we will call the customer to discuss the issue to help isolate the problem. We may require pictures sent to us depending on the issue. Once the issue has been determined we will send any replacement parts needed to fix the problem. We have numerous videos on our website and YouTube channel that show you the step by step installation and repair processes and we are available by phone to assist you should the need arise. Please note that we will only replace parts on machines that are within warranty. 

We usually say that our build time for machines is 2 to 4 weeks. In cases that we are busy we will advertise that our build time takes 4 to 6 weeks, however, these times are just estimated goals and are not a 100% guarantee. Many factors impede our build times such as customs, shipping, back ordered items, how busy we are, etc. 

Please take note that customized machines that have specific details such as custom artwork need to take a lot more time than advertised.

Horizontal screen orientation is when the monitor is wider than it is tall - probably like your computer monitor is now!  You would use this orientation for games like Bubble Bobble, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc.

Vertical screen orientation is when the monitor is taller than it is wide - a "portrait" setup, like a phone screen.  This would be used for games like PacMan, Donkey Kong, 1942, etc.

Be sure your monitor set up will match your game board!
