Frequently Asked Questions About Working with WIDIN
Everything You Need to Know Before and After Purchasing Commercial Arcade Machines
Choosing a commercial arcade machine manufacturer is about more than comparing prices. Whether you're opening a new family entertainment center, expanding an existing arcade, or sourcing machines for wholesale distribution, you need a supplier who communicates clearly, delivers reliable products, and continues to provide support after delivery.
At WIDIN, we understand that purchasing commercial arcade equipment is a long-term investment. Our goal is to make every stage of the process—from your first inquiry to after-sales service—as transparent and efficient as possible.
This page answers the questions we receive most frequently from global customers and explains what you can expect when working with our team.
Before You Place an Order
How do I choose the right arcade machines?
Every market is different. A machine that performs well in one country may not achieve the same results in another. Before recommending products, we take time to understand your business, including your venue type, target customers, available space, and budget.
Based on this information, we can recommend suitable machines from our existing product range and explain the advantages of each option. Our objective is to help you select equipment that fits your business goals rather than simply offering the most expensive products.
Can I purchase your standard models?
Yes. Most of our customers purchase machines directly from our standard product lineup.
Our product range includes claw machines, racing simulators, basketball games, boxing machines, fishing games, redemption machines, children's rides, and many other commercial arcade products.
For customers who require branding, graphic changes, or specific hardware configurations, we also provide OEM and ODM customization services. These customization services are available when appropriate but represent only one part of our overall manufacturing capabilities.
How do you prepare quotations?
Our quotations are based on the machine model, quantity, configuration requirements, destination, and shipping method.
Whenever possible, we include detailed specifications so customers clearly understand what is included before production begins. We believe transparent quotations help reduce misunderstandings and make purchasing decisions easier.
What is your production lead time?
Production time depends on the machine type, order quantity, and production schedule.
After confirming your order, we provide an estimated production timeline and keep you informed if any important milestones or schedule adjustments occur.
Clear Communication Throughout Production
How do you keep customers informed during production?
Good communication is one of the most important parts of a successful project.
After an order is confirmed, our team follows the production process from beginning to end. Rather than waiting for customers to ask about progress, we aim to provide updates at important stages whenever possible.
These updates may include:
Production progress
Assembly photos
Testing videos
Packaging status
Shipping preparation
Container loading
Keeping customers informed helps reduce uncertainty and makes international purchasing more transparent.
Who will communicate with me?
Each project is coordinated by a dedicated sales representative who works closely with our engineering, production, and quality control teams.
This communication structure helps ensure that technical questions receive accurate answers and that project information is shared consistently throughout production.
For international customers, we communicate through email, WhatsApp, WeChat, and other commonly used business platforms.
Can I inspect my machines before shipment?
Yes.
Customers are welcome to visit our factory for inspections.
For overseas customers who cannot travel, we can provide photos and videos of completed machines before shipment. This allows customers to confirm product appearance and basic functionality before export.
After Your Machines Arrive
What happens after delivery?
Receiving your machines is not the end of our cooperation.
Commercial arcade machines operate in demanding environments, and occasional technical questions are a normal part of long-term operation.
Our team continues to provide assistance after delivery to help customers maintain smooth operation and reduce unnecessary downtime.
Do you provide technical support?
Yes.
If you encounter technical questions during installation or operation, our team can provide guidance remotely.
Depending on the situation, support may include:
Troubleshooting suggestions
Wiring guidance
Software assistance for supported products
Component identification
Maintenance recommendations
Our goal is to help customers identify problems efficiently and return machines to normal operation as quickly as possible.
Are spare parts available?
Yes.
We maintain spare parts for the machines we manufacture.
For larger projects, we often recommend ordering a small package of commonly used spare parts together with the main shipment. This can reduce future maintenance time and avoid delays caused by international shipping.
How do you help reduce machine downtime?
Downtime directly affects the profitability of an arcade business.
To help minimize interruptions, we focus on several areas:
Consistent manufacturing quality
Thorough testing before shipment
Clear technical documentation
Responsive communication
Spare parts availability
Practical troubleshooting support
While no commercial equipment can eliminate maintenance, good preparation and timely support can significantly improve operational efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do you respond to inquiries?
We aim to respond to most business inquiries within one working day. If a question requires engineering input, we coordinate with our technical team to provide an accurate response rather than a generic answer.
Do you test every machine before shipment?
Yes.
Each machine undergoes functional inspection before packaging. Depending on the product type, testing may include gameplay, electrical systems, lighting, audio, controls, and extended operation.
Can I customize the appearance of a machine?
Yes.
We can support graphic updates, logo placement, lighting adjustments, and other customization requests where applicable.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes.
Our machines are exported to customers in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, and many other regions.
Can I visit your factory?
Absolutely.
We welcome scheduled factory visits. For customers who are unable to travel, we can also arrange online factory tours and provide production videos.
How do you package machines for export?
Machines are packed using export-standard materials suitable for international transportation. Depending on the product and customer requirements, packaging may include wooden crates, reinforced wooden frames, protective foam, moisture protection, and secure internal fixation to help reduce the risk of shipping damage.
