The unreliable nature of Amazon in America at the moment could see lots of delays and cancellations, especially if the warehouse with your items is in a state that is currently under lockdown.
If they said at the time that they were "ships from and sold by" Amazon Australia, then that would be something to worry about, as that would be the local supplier (Hasbro Australia) cancelling supply... and wouldn't be too surprising, because if we've had a major downturn in sales Hasbro Australia won't order in more stock until the older stock is almost gone first.
I wonder if it was because of the price?
I was keen when I saw them at $43, but saw that the relisted items were $51
My original order email said "Sold by Amazon Commercial Services". I thought it said ships and sold by Amazon when I ordered but I may be wrong. I know it was free delivery whereas now the page says delivery is extra.Quote:

Cancelling every Earthrise figure I ordered, not being able to backorder Siege Optimus, cancelling Offroad Bumblebee twice. And in every case I would find other people having the same items cancelled here and ones I hadn't ordered. I have also had the same experience with DC comics collections, every single preorder and one backorder has been cancelled from AU, fine as an import on the AU site for the same item.
I got a bunch of POTP deluxes for $10 each, and they were backorders that took a while to fill but I got them and those were imports. Some of the items shared this week have been up from Amazon Australia and as imports and while I haven't done an order yet from my experience I would order any figures available from the US there. I will order from AU for a lack of other option, but all the ones I want are available at both. Can't speak for Sentinel and Scavenger, but I would guess AU stock and I wonder if anyone feels the same way about this.
Also while I dont know if this was the case for those two Studio Voyagers, I was looking at Blitzwing who was available from Amazon AU and US at the time. Now its only from the US, so anyone with a cancelled Blitzwing would be from there and you could assume the same goes for the others.
Sentinel prime was shipped and sold by amazon australia for $43 when I ordered it. The new listing of sentinel is sold by amazon US.Quote:

I think someone sighted Sentinel Prime and Scrapper at Uncle Petes toys, which would mean we did get stock into Australia.
As for US stock, I can't get anything showing up on Amazon America anymore for Transformers toys, and looking on an item that wasn't available to me, it had this message in the product description...
This might be why people are also having trouble getting items through Amazon Australia that were import items from America.Quote:

I ordered a Studio Series Blitzing from Amazon.com.au. Today they emailed to say
Quote:
Our supplier has informed us that this item is no longer available. This item has now been cancelled from your order
Transformers sale on right now, includes Siege Omega Supreme for $204, Thundercracker $31, and Red Alert $20.
https://www.amazon.com.au/deal/73091...JRERCRFB577RJW
I need to finish that series but I love that Amazon Prime would not be photoshopped knowing that series, fully deserved.
Might have to pick up Thundercracker for a custom, and consider whether to chance the G2 set
Or just save my money
Has anyone here (as in physicall in the country of AUSTRALIA) reveived they Bee movie JEEP Bee from Amazon AU?
I have just ordered it a FOURTH time.
#1 Order Cancelled (by amazon)
#2 Order Cancelled (by amazon)
#3 Shipped to Australia, then inexplicably sent BACK to America by DHL, despite saying would arrive today (31st May)
#4 - Made a new order. Hopefullyt this one turns up.
NOTE: ALL my other orders over last 2-3 months have turned up as normal, including M Legends and TF S Series so dont know what is going on with Jeep Bee and DHL.
I bought one through Amazon AU (it was US stock) on May 13th. It was shipped May 21st and arrived Friday May 29th.
I had both Amazon AU ones cancelled so got a US one with Shattter (still the AU site) ordered April 30 received May 12, which I thought was quite fast. US orders have taken longer when we weren't in lockdown
Ordered 30th April, received 12 May from Amazon US.
Siege Mirage is pack in stock at the $35 price point for those keen for an affordable version.
I ordered Siege Galaxy Optimus from Amazon US because it was relatively cheap but I got the package today and it was SS05 Optimus Prime. What do I do? First time anything like this has happened.
Contact Amazon and return it.Quote:

They will reply that since it is from Amazon US, they cannot order a replacement and will refund you the full amount. I was allowed to keep the item.Quote:

I looked around and ended up initiating a return order. Kinda want to cancel it now and try to keep Optimus but already printed the shipping label. Really wanted the Galaxy Prime too but that seemed like the only place to get it for a reasonable price.
Hmm... Smokescreen is back up for preorder.

Also forgot to hit send on this hours ago and still had the tab up whatever
Siege Thundercracker is down to $31 on Amazon for a limited time. Presume free shipping with Amazon Prime
Has anyone returned an item to Amazon using ParcelPoint? If yes, how long did it take? I dropped mine off 11th of June and it supposedly still hasn't arrived.
I have used ParcelPoint to return an item to Amazon. It took about 3-4 weeks before I got a confirmation email that the return was complete.Quote:

Also, a number of the Siege Micromaster packs that didn't come here are currently listed on Amazon Australia (as imported from the US) for some great prices (normally AU$20 at retail here).
Air Strike Patrol - AU$15.80
Decepticon Sports Car Patrol - US$11.98
And if you need to make up the free shipping quota if you are a Prime member, this one was also not released here, and still a little cheaper than retail here.
Offroad Patrol - US$18.50
Went straight to order Doubledealer for that price, only to find it was from Amazon US so postage was going to be more like $85 which is not a good price at all.Quote:

100% agree. It’s the best $6.99 I spend every month.Quote:

But this is a good time to mention that my Doubledealer has a shipping estimate of 29 July-21 August, as opposed to no note at all previously and still the case for all my other pre-orders of ER and SS figures
EDIT: Doubledealer has also been put into a seperate shipment from the deluxes ordered with, so might be shipping 'soon'
You can cancel individual items within an order. I had him at $80 with six other "preorder" figures, but it cheaper for me to cancel him individually, resubscribe to a month of Prime and order him again, so I did that.Quote:

My pre-order for Smokescreen was due to arrive early August when I looked yesterday but this morning the shipping date is: ¯\_(?)_/¯
