Anyone have any ETA guess on when PC MIGHT get the CARNIFEX / Overlord in?

Site still says june/august or whatever, but the official release got pushed back to OCT/NOV

Even an educated guess would be nice, just wondering it if will be 2017 before we see any of them?

Whats click frenzy?

a joke. a bad joke.

It's an online shopping event that they tried to start a couple years ago. "MEGA Savings' etc blah blah blah. kind of like an online black Friday/boxing day sale. Lots of retailers featuring a few items as part of the event.

I recall the first time it was on it broke the internet, and maybe also the second time. just like everything else net based in Australia, it couldn't handle the traffic.

in my opinion most of the 'sale' items weren't any cheaper than your average run of the mill weekly sale and anything that was, was old shitty crap that no-one wanted in the first place.

This is all true. However PC's daily deals have usually offered some pretty sweet discounts so I expect there will be a good deal or two tomorrow night.

Well Firstly,

just want to thank the OTCA community again for supporting PC in large numbers,

mp-36 has smashed alot of PRE ORDER records for us , and based on the amount of use of the otca discount a large portion of that is because of you guy's

I am very grateful of late more than ever,

the amount of trolling and negative agenda's being pushed by a few people recently who found PC not for them (or never actually been a customer) has been a tad dissapointing .

We continue and must always base what we do on the silent majority.

for me you guys are speaking with your wallets, and the support with this product again shows the direction is going in one direction,

I see turnaround times for most contact to pc is about 36 hours,
our target is 48 hours, allowing a bit long over weekend and public holidays.

putting manpower in place to reduce that time down to 24 hours or less, would see toy prices at my calculation be increased by 20% .

as 60 percent of emails are after pre order updates , It would be a unfair imposition on everyone , just to appease some unrealstic individuals who are no longer customers.

mp-36 was always expected to be ordered in large numbers so a sizeable number were requested on our import permit, which we have in the state of QLD, which is where the items will dock.

We also have confirmed our Megatrons will come with the gift or extra item supplied in HK.

Thanks to all who continue to support our local business.

We maintain our presence in the group because of the support we get and it has been incredible.

Customers will always feedback and scruntise a business when there's is a gap in service or they see areas that could be improved.

It is more disappointing to see a business simply putting such customers down and label them as trolls with agendas.

People are impatient by nature, however even for the patient types it's normal to have concerns over the unknown, most business can remedy this easily with regular proactive & transparent updates. It's a simple yet effective means to allow customer to self serve information .

Honestly all my time here I've yet to stumble on any hysteria. There's a lot of feedback and reflection for areas of improvements but not much in the hysteria relam

Impatience by nature is the problem. I am yet to have an issue, nothing but great CS from them. All my emails have been answered within 24hrs. Other people must have different experiences.

As for hysteria, I've seen people attack a business right off the bat calling their workers monkeys because they stuffed up an order. That would cause any business to automatically put them on the back foot. That's not how to deal with an issue. A calm approach will always be a better option. It's likely they have received emails attacking them

I've heard of many stories of people getting quick service such as what you have experience, but there are def a lot out there who have experienced the opposite, there are many things that can be done to improve and when a consistent level of service is provided to all customers there will def be less feedbacks in regards to service level

The worker monkey thing it's unacceptable no matter the reasons, but if I recall correctly it wasn't PC related, it was a disgruntled customer against TF-source or one of the other American seller

Pc was built on lowest prices which come at the expense of service whether it be communication, packaging protection and shipping to customers after release. People need only chose what store meets their expectations and shop there. I've shopped with pc and my experience has been mixed and ranged from excellent to poor. I'm not upset at pc when they've let me down because i understand how pc operates and they're trying to find a happy medium between price and service. Instead i choose to take my business elsewhere and pay extra for the service i expect from a business rather than make a big fuss expecting pc to change to suit me. Pc has to earn my business, not the other way around.
I'll give pc the benefit of the doubt regarding their last comment on this thread and assume he's referencing actual trolls and people who ask stupid questions, and not the the people with legitimate grievance that are expressing their dissatisfaction on forums or making queries with pc because they haven't received their goods weeks or months after release.

I do not want to see prices rise by 20% just because people want a faster response to "when is [item] coming!". As has been stated, PC keep their costs low by cutting back on some things which includes customer service email response. I have had mixed dealings with PC, sometimes an email is responded to within an hour, other times they have completely missed an email to the point that a pre-order sold out before I had a response (it was a week).

However, I am more than happy to compromise faster email communication for cheaper prices. I am also extremely patient and happy to receive items when they come. I have stuff on pre-order still from December last year!

Keep up the good work guys.

The thing is a business doesn't have to compromise on price just to improve/maintain a better level of service, most can achieve this to an extend by simply reviewing and changing little things such as how certain processes works, resulting in both business and customers reaping the rewards.

Other customers have echo the same in various forums which is oppose to having multiple customers (for example 10-20) emailing asking the same question and having a rep stuck replying to 10-20 email of the same, that rep could of posted up 1 update regarding that item which would of answered everyone in one go, thus negating the need for customers to keep emailing in asking for the same.

As long as there is a good flow of updates on products, released products eta timeframes and other common questions asked, customer can self help and get the information directly allowing a support team's time to be freed up to do other things without negative impact on cost which is what most PC customers like and want.

If a business feels the only way and means to improve processes/services is to charge customers more and no customer wishes this, then it is what it is and life goes on and nothing will change, feedback will simply continue to fall on deaf ears.

If a business has 100% employee engagement/workload capacity, to the point where it would need more staff to reduce customer wait times, how is that not going to increase costs? If those costs, ie wages, increase, it needs to be offset by way of income which means increased prices for goods sold. Basic economics. Your reasoning seems to imply they have the capacity to respond in a faster manner or provide a service not currently being provided at no increase in cost to them. They have stated that to respond faster would see costs rise by 20%. We don't know the cost involved for them continually updating their website with ETAs. It might be more expensive than the way they currently do it. They might be paying someone to manage their site for them and they need to pay a set fee for any change. I don't know enough about how online stores work but you can't assume that there is no or minimal cost involved in what you suggest.

Yes, there could possibly be more efficient ways for them to do things. However, that is a matter for them to identify and change if it is cost effective. Only PC is in a position to make that judgment, not you nor I. How do you know that any implementation, no matter how efficient, will not come with a transformation cost that makes it prohibitive? Yet again this is a matter for PC as we don't understand their inner business operations.

From what I understand and my opinion on comments made, most people prefer the lower prices and are happy to trade off on better customer service. Note: They even mention trying to respond within 48 hours. That is a very good turn around time.

A self service support model that allows customer to self help is always more cost effective than a pure reactive support model, hence so many organisations local and international (small/large) has this type of setup in conjunction to the more traditional email support method, and I'm speaking from 1st hand experience.

Anyway end of day your happy and other customer's are happy so it is what is is. PC welcomes feedback from customers and customer's will cont provide and it is up to them what to do with it, ignore, take it on board, etc.

Yup. Agree with you 100%.
256 pages of this thread tells me it ain't gonna change.
Logically yes it should. But whatever. Thems the breaks.
If a business does so well, why not just pay someone just to do customer service and nothing else, thus leaving time free for other aspects of the business.

Alternatively is that is not an option , they could be up front and say anything that is not sales/customer related they just don't time to deal with. That's fair enough. It's the half way thing where it just seems random and inconsistent that pisses people off.

Logically a front page on PC that links to every useful thing, site FAQ social media pages, and emphasize preferred communication channels, and that updates will be infrequent would make sense.

Likewise the one update for info on say social media that everyone can read, rather than like 50 individual inquiries for the exact same piece of information would make sense.

But it's like talking to dead air. :o
I just accept how it is and move on. If they have bargain I buy it, if they are out of stock I look elsewhere.

But trying to make sense of the nonsensical is an exercise in futility.:eek:

Anyhow, they have great prices, I am glad they are there, how someone runs their business is their own personal choice and nothing we do or say here will make a lick of difference.

Meh... if people don't like the way a business is run then feel free to take your business elsewhere. I used to shop from Robot Kingdom until they switched to PayPal only payments. Never shopped with them again after that. Not gonna whinge and carry on about it, I just went elsewhere.

That looks really tempting. He's going to be freaking huge....
It makes sense to sell as a set, because I can't see anyone wanting half a Trypticon. There's protype photos (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=538776#post538776) in a related thread. I'd like to see final photos before committing , but I'm going to sleep on it

only just found out about these discount codes ... what are they? and any possibility to apply them to previous orders?I only know about the supportlocal code, that gives you 10% off an order. PC mentioned an OTCA code, I'm not sure what that's about, if someone could shed light on that it would be great. And no sorry Dinkydarth, you can't apply codes to previous orders.

EDIT: Also, speaking about Planet X Trypticon does anyone have any idea of the ETA of the batch of Planet X Omega/Genesis that PC had up for sale back in April?

The OTCA code was for ordering MP36 and gave $10 off. To use it, you had to add your username to the notes in your order to confirm you are on otca

As for your eta, drop an email to their CS, they should be able to give you an answer within 24-48hrs. Their email turnaround time has improved

The supportlocal code was by far the most generous discount code they have given because you were able to use it on Megatron and the Decepticon reissues all at once to maximise the value of the 10% off.

Jumping the gun ? My Gundam metal build from bandai is on 25th and is considered end of the month. How are you actually helping by saying it's gone?

did you read the original post up abit??

ok to clarify better my 'come and gone' was referring to the notion of the item is still on track for a end of nov arrival.

PC customer support have advised and confirmed to some customers who inquired recently that they are no longer getting Carnefix in 2016, no one is jumping any thing. It's simply done and dusted from the source.


And you know who can help clarify everything? PC can.

Since their customer support has now provided 2 different set of eta to customers where the old one was end of nov and the new being not in 2016.

It's in their best interest to just update everyone so all waiting for carnefix is on the same page.

It's not rocket science, one FB post should do.

Y'know, I was thinking the same thing. Then I said to myself, Sinsin, let's see how much this would impact pricing & decided to use MP Megatron as an example.
$200. Right-o. Add 20%, that makes it $240.
Let's say that there are 100 units available. 100 x $40 gives us $4000 to cover the extra cost of



putting manpower in place to reduce that time down to 24 hours or less

You are in no position to say that there are no add on cost as you are not in charge of the staff or the system in placed. I don't think I can assume either.

Saying nope is still what it is. A quicker response to tell you your item is still not here. I find that pretty dumb giving them a upper hand to raise prices for nothing gained if that was your ultimate goal I am sure you will succeed.
If they have told you the reason and is going to add on and you keep pushing you very well will make it go worse.

It's not rocket science, if your rep spends 5min on each email and replies to 12 of the same questions which would've took 60mins of their time

after 2-3 email of the same query a good service team will notice there is a trend and oppose to spending another 45min answering the same, they can spend 5min and make 1 public post that will address all the existing and potential coming queries/email about the same. This free up time and resource for other task with no additional cost.

This is just one of many possible ways to make small improvements that doesn't require increasing price for customers.

if one day they do improve their service then good for them to making the right choice as it would be better in the long run esp if their long term plan is growth and be the biggest and best around

And I'm sure loyal customers like youself would continue to shop even if the price increases slightly to provide customers a better overall shopping experience

Having worked as customer support before, it really, really, isn't as simple as that. I'll just say not every question has an easy answer. And when you have a small team, while one emsil is being answered hundreds more are waiting. There's also a good chance the CSR has multiple tasks which means they have to allocate time from other tasks to answer emails. Small companies usually have their employees multitasking.

But I do agree, if there's a delay from the ETA on the product page then an updated ETA should be communicated to the customer. For customers to wait 6 months and no update is not good.

But I do agree, if there's a delay from the ETA on the product page then an updated ETA should be communicated to the customer. For customers to wait 6 months and no update is not good.

To give a better background on why I've been more vocal on support improvements etc, I've been a part of a global cs environment for the last 10years and part of my role also includes working closely with teams local and abroad to streamline and identify ways to improve service provided while working within bounds of existing budget and resource constraints.

I agree that all emails / issues are not the same and can be difficult at times for a small team, this is even more true in a technical environment, however in this particular scenario where we know a bulk percentage of the emails are straight forward eta related queries and most time repeats of the same, in a small team it's actually easier in a way as your team would be working a lot more closely with each other and can identify trends of questions coming in.

And in these cases minor improvement to processes like what I've mention as an example (it's one of many possibilities) would be an easy change to implement with minimal impact to a small staff base & budget, and you'll end up having less backlogs to tend to by providing a means for customers to self help and self serve the information they need from a consolidated location

This frees up time and allows a team to better deal with the harder queries and other task which will result in a better experience for customers and for staffs.

I know PC has stated all changes cost $ and some customers has echo their opposing opinion to change and this is fine, it is what it is.

However customers should never be deterred or feel shamed from providing constructive feedback, feedbacks are an important and integral part of any business or organisations, they are provided because customers sees trends/areas that can be improved from a different perspective, and feedbacks is one of the most powerful tool for a business to identify areas of improvements :cool:

I do remember them saying that now they are being recognised as a serious retailer of hasbro/takara that they get there shipment early so they can start filling orders on the release date.

I would of thought they'd at least be shipping mp-10SG by now

intl shop wise for jp products, jp based stores like hlj & amiami should always be the goto choice unless one have a big pile of loot waiting at bbts.

both store's pricing will always be the usual 20-30% off rrp and by being in jp, the items normally would be shipped out a day or two before street days so you'll likely have it in hand the week following, if chose ems etc

Then mores the pity for them, honestly.

You can be wholly supportive and appreciative of an entity while still being critical of it. This is natural (and good!) and I don't think it really does anyone any good by you coming in here and continually pouring cold water over what are, by and large, legitimate concerns/suggestions/critiques that are expressed in calm, reasoned and mature way and not in the sorts of hysterics that would deserve the lectures you're giving.

That being said, there's a feedback thread and maybe it could go there *shrugs*.


We Like Seeing people's Idea's Especially from actual customers, so we never put down any gripes against us on here as we think all customers are allowed an opinion on what they don't like or like about us.

Not I. Supposed to be October first time I asked, then November.


I Like PC, I like their products and I don't mind waiting for stuff to turn up, but the lack of information and updates for when things will actually arrive in the months after the posted arrival date in their listings is getting tiring.

really tiring.


+2

+3. A once update of items available but net arrived with new ETAs would be welcome. They stopped allowing ppl to post to their facebook page to avoid this too. Recurring theme



My other gripe is their VIP club response times. If you request a preorder via email (only option) you never get a quick reply and have to chase them up. :(

Means you may miss out or get a later order number therefore much later shipment. Huge penalty for being a VIP which isn't how it's supposed to work.

I hope PC is reading this, VIP are meant to be important customers and not the other way. As many has suggested, a special VIP code per month if you wish to control the way VIP spends is fine. I am sure you could exclude VIP discounts on items you do not allow but having a code would have.

1. Eliminate the amount csvip emails.
2. Happier VIP customers as it is what they deserve anyway and not stress about when you get back to them with a discount with a possibility of missing out. All your exclusive offers could be mail as per usual and excluded from code.

Code should be exclusive to the account and not allowed to share and penalty if the member breaks the rule.

Generally speaking I have noticed that they respond to VIP emails within 2 days and only once have I had to chase them for a response. In that instance I waited 5 days and missed out on Soundwave MP re-release even though I sent a request for a VIP invoice the moment it was announced. Based on my observations, they usually hold enough stock to ensure they can accomodate VIPs. The only issue with the delay in email response, to invoice generation, to payment, is that this means you are one of the last to order the item and I think shipping is linked to when you ordered compared to everyone else. I tend to notice that I am one of the last to receive my pre-orders compared with when other non-VIP post that they have received items.

ZoonMaster5000
10th December 2016, 03:10 PM
I'm not going to go into detail but the VIP service for me is a bit of a joke. 10 days no reply on reward choice follow up email still no reply.

Asked for 2 invoices which raider pointed out was the wrong email (thanks raider) but still waiting on a response to those from the appropriate email address.

I've ordered these 2 items elsewhere cause I just can't keep waiting.

Yeah true but they should cancel their express service after the 1st batch has been allocated. Otherwise what's the point in paying the extra $35?

PC is a great store but I just don't have the patience. I'm willing to pay the extra to get it on release from HLJ. I thought I was doing that by paying the extra $35 but apparently not.

10th December 2016, 05:46 PM
Wow! Look at all the trolls with agendas today 😂
Don't complain about the level of service you're receiving as pc have already stated they are not willing to improve their service to satisfy people who aren't even customers, or are customers with unreasonably high expectations, because this will incur extra cost on those who are their loyal customers.
Look, I'm not trying to pull pc down. They have a business model that is suitable for people that are tight on finances or just have tight arses in general. That same business model does not regularly or consistently meet the expectations that those like myself have received from overseas businesses. My expectations aren't unreasonable, it's just that pc fell short of the bar set by others I've bought from.
Before too long some of you will tire of chasing the cheapest carrot dangled in front of you and shop elsewhere, and that is the only language that pc listens to, money. They are a business, not a charity, they cannot and will not provide all customers with "consistently" good service whilst maintaining their lowest prices that have attracted customers in the first place. They aren't here to provide you with your needs, they're not your best friend, they're not your family, they're hear to profit off your hobby, addiction, or whatever else you want to label that which is collecting toys and or other unnecessary to live items. This is expected from any business and isn't a bad thing. Stop expecting pc to do better and accept them for who they are, you either shop from them or you don't and nothing you say will change anything. I'd like to think that pc will show a little more respect for collectors and realise that there are plenty of us who aren't so easily won over by cheap prices, and we expect better communication, better package protection, and better shipping times like we've received from other businesses. But then again, why would pc show collectors respect when we scramble over meager preorder offerings like seagulls over a a hot chip and continue to accept the comparitively low level of service just to save a few $? If it was the same price and level of service from pc as it is from overseas businesses, I'd buy from pc again. Speak with your wallets and let the rest fall into place.

1AZRAEL1
10th December 2016, 07:15 PM
I choose PC not because I'm a tight arse, but because I just don't care if I don't get my figures right after their release. If you are impatient enough to pay the extra elsewhere to have your figure right after release, then by all means go with other businesses. Still plenty of people, as you say tight arses, or just don't care. I've paid for them, I will get them eventually.

That, and the few times I've actually emailed them, I received a reply within a couple of days.

They tend to get stock a lil time after other online stores get them. Patience is always a good thing :)

So can you please clarify Griffin if all the posts on the last page are relevant about "my item has been shipped" etc, as this is the thread people HAVE been using, but SHOULD they be using this one or the other one for stuff like that?

I usually read this one as it has the info I actually want, so if it's gonna be more actively encouraged I can read that other thread, but so far I've never read it.

Anybody have updates on Takara LG Soundwave?

What's the best way to keep up to date with Hasbro, Takara, main 3P figures being delayed past P.C's estimated date of arrival? I feel like if P.C could put such a list on their main page that is updated weekly/ bi-weekly it would go along way to reducing the time they spend replying to the same old questions being asked every time.

Further clarification regarding MMC (https://www.facebook.com/premiumcollectaus/posts/1297194196968832):


update post - Due to some speculation and slander we need to perhaps clarify why this has been decided.

We have no issue with MMC and and the quality of products .
unfortunately the latest releases have been released to us as the oceania supplier , well after hitting the USA and other regions.

This then delays the product getting to the customer. We feel it is best for customers to source this product through those regions or grey importers.

MMC JAEGETRON UPDATE-

This product unfortunately will not ship until Early January.
also please note Premium Collectables Will no Longer be offering any new MMC products, once existing offers are dispatched and finalised

Plus news for VIPs (https://www.facebook.com/premiumcollectaus/posts/1297793023575616):


VIP CUSTOMERS - From 1st of January 2017, any order placed by a VIP club member will get a partial express service, Priority Processing when products launch. Thanks to the many new members . still 16 days left to qualify for anyone near that 5k mark.

Wouldn't worry too much there are plenty of other people in the same boat.
I'm waiting on inferno, mp-10sg, fans toys Lupus, Platinum Unicron and mp-11sw:eek:. Kinda hoping at least one will ship in time for xmas.

The news update for vips is welcoming, priority shipping should of been a perk from the start in my opinion.

If they could apply the VIP discount within hours (should really be instantly to prevent any risk of missing out for items) and not days to respond to invoice requests that would really be amazing. I still have to forego the VIP discount for a lot of items (which in turn would negate priority shipping) because their VIP response times aren't quick enough.

Better email them about that.

Good chance its inferno but I had them make a mistake before with the orders, when I ordered a cw g2 bruticus they also sent my mp delta magnus in the same order, but on the website it wasn't ticked off and months later they sent me a second delta magnus (which I shipped back, im too honest).

So if this is inferno better let them adjust things, otherwise you'll get your inferno IN PLACE OF grapple as the site will show that grapple has been shipped, just saying, best to be safe

Have emailed PC to advise them. My MP Grapple order on the site now shows as fulfilled though. I am sure they will sort it out as soon as they can.

UltraMarginal

Most of their product is sold on Pre-order. They do occasionally get some extra stock either by cancellations or otherwise, that seems to be the reason they leave out of stock items up for months/years.

Prime example of above is Grapple has been listed as out of stock for a while however it relisted as an available pre-order as of a few days ago and I was able to take advantage of it
