discussion International post

[monica]

why and whats with something posted international,


been waiting on a figure that was meant to be to me by the end of last mth,


I always give a few days ,as the waiting just kills me,


but this is well over a week late so i ring the post,and they say well its been in the


country from the 27th ,but there is some hold up and it has been processed 2 or 3 times


but not sent out,????


ask why whats with it,do you think it hides something like drugs because were it comes from ?


no its just been scanned a few times maybe some think with the address ,its from evilbay with a pay-pal,fixed address,


and let it be,know that after they just wont to make you wait i will get it with in the next few days,


think they have fun making us wait the B---------- or its a big joke to them,


and when i get it the name and address will be as clear as day

At least you got to talk to a real person. All I got was this

oh lol,


how very true is that Dave,I,did get the 1st time,if your post starts with,ii or ir or something something,press 1,2 and 3,


but a few bad words and i wont to talk to the operator,worked and then the same thing, technical glitch,must be a world wide


thing,


and the voice program dose not understand my accent,or the robot or person on the other end,oh my


I just wont my figure,


but will see how long it takes from today,

 

[Alan 45]

I think we buy from the same guy moni , I ordered two figure at the same time one was sent straight away and came last week the other was shipped two days later and still hasn't arrived although it's got until tomorrow to be past its estimated delivery date so I'm not at panic stations yet lol


But I did order a 1/24 scale work bench over two months ago from America and that didn't come and neither has the replacement and so I'm going to have to cancel that and get my money back

 

[BBdave]

You ought to try buying militaria via ebay they use their own post service then steal the item and refund both parties it happens constantly now they assume refunding means it isn't theft but they admit to holding items.


Dave

 

[monica]

I think so Alan,


I do feel bad for you not getting what you did order it just,$#@%,s


as for my order of the figures and Tank was not even meant to be on the door step for


a wk or so more ,to meat the estimated delivery,date,turned up over a wk before time,no conplaints hear,


as for them holding some think for close to 2 wks,thats just wrong,and what do we do,


give the pore guy/gal an email,were is my stuff,and no we go,I do feel bad as its not always them its the post,


having fun with us,


but then on the other hand it is them as i did have all types of trouble from one lot and pay-pal stepped in and


got my money back,


then a week later the figuer shows up so i keeped it any ways,maybe a bad thing to do ,but we need to win one some times lol,

oh real Dave, well that just s&%$#,s


always a loop hole with things if you look hard to find away around them,


as i was going to get a few things that i have always liked and wonted for year,s as they got lost when young moving about alot,

Your right moni most of the time it's the post office we don't get them having fun with us it's more a bureaucratic nonsense we have to put up with , I once had one parcell held up at customs because the bloke who I bought it off had put some sweets in it as a gesture and the showed up as not on the contents list , when i got it was repackaged but they stole my sweets lol


Ive had three figures from this guy and all have arrived well before the estimated date but this one seems to have fancied going on a walkabout lol


I do need it as I'm going to sell one of these on Ebay as a couple of friends off me cold hard cash for my last alien figure so I figure test the water and see how it goes

 

[monica]

think that hit the nail on the head ,Alan,bureaucratic nonsense,not what i would call it,


I have had a few which i can tell have been opened and who know what they do it for as an ex ray dose show,and maybe get some free sweets lol,


thats great news to hear,grats,I hope you do pickup some work out of it,


thats what my other half say all the time why do small ones you cannot sell,do the ones you can sell,


and guess what ,and were all the $ go ,?????


not to me to be able to buy more to do and try what your going to do,


but the best of luck with it all hope that it go,s well,

 

[Alan 45]

Ive always built for myself but seeing how much some of these static pre built figures go for is stupid and I never realised how big a market it was


I might even draw up a certificate of authenticity to show its a one off , mind you I don't even know if that's legal or not lol

could not agree more Alan,


I do the it was for me,and i just showed it to the right person at the right time,


maybe a certificate of authenticity saying only handpainted,and you should be ok ,but not including the model,think Thia gaols are not to nice lol,

ta John so nice of you to say,so glad that we did give you the motivation to try them,


I will be getting some more as well,both Predator and aliens,i like them


with that company i get ever think in very good time as well,no problems at all,always by the due date,


some time from the people i order from in the Ukraine maybe longer as well,and after that chat with the post office guy ,I know why they just hold it up for wks on end for some reason they see fit too, B@#$%&@ lol,

 

[Robert1968]

Well I ordered two pigments on eBay and two sets of MB figures all from ( Malaysia I think and they said 12 June arrive!!!) But got the pigments within 1 week git the soldiers 1st 2 days ago and other yesterday the annoying thing is I ordered a accademy tank off the same company and still waiting.


It nit that I don't trust international sellers but they sometimes say they have Uk stock ( hence why I ordered ) but roll on 12 June ( prob being bought over by a carrier pigeon!!

 

[monica]

its always nice when things turn up wks before there due,


and that with the carrier pigeon,is so true i get that one as well some times,between 30 to 90 working days,hmmmmmmmmm


but im saving so much i just grin and bare it,3 for the cost of 1 over hear, well thats good,

 

[Alan 45]

Well I've got a message this morning from the guy , it turns out he never sent it as he thought it was a duplicate order by made by mistake and has offered to refund the money


Oh well I'll just have to get him to resend it lol

 

[monica]

oh no but better late than never and he should real should of looked into it,sooner,


i had some think happen were it did send the order x 2 and they emailed me the next day so was sorted quickly,


but once you know whats happened and way well its not so bad just the waiting lol,

 

[Alan 45]

I've just looked at the email again moni and it was ebay that contacted him to ask why he hadn't sent the second one so that was good although your right if he thought it was in error he should of sent a message asking if it was a mistake or not

 

[tanktrack]

what would we do without flea bay -a love hate relationship , and don't get me started with postage , I have a rating of over 1000+ and pride myself in posting recorded delivery etc why cant the rst of the world follow ,without getting the arm in of coarse with charges

 

[monica]

glad that it all did get sorted quietly ,is the important thing ,and yes he should of thought to cheap,so lucky that evilday dose watch and keep tabs on what go,s on,


your right Steve it is love hate relationship, and were would we be without it,


its so god to hear that you do pride,yourshelf and get you mail out fast and in good time,and they should be more like you,

A few months back I ordered something from Quiksilver ......... They sent it by courier. When It never turned up I phoned the courier to find out where it was and got the most original reason for a delayed parcel I'd ever heard .......... "It caught fire" ..... After I stopped laughing, I remembered seeing something on the news about some big parcel hub going up in flames.........
