My MP Dirge arrived today. Ordered 4th July so taking the airmail option to Perth takes about 2 weeks. EMS was an extra $10 and I assume halves the time, all up not too shabby.
Item well packed with a bunch of DOTM card packs thrown in. I'll just pass them on in the items I'm selling on my page *cough*
just checked the MP Dirge i got from RK. Top of the box has been opened. If they cut the tape and double taped it i may let it slide but looks like tape has been pulled tearing the box. this may be my first and last
Edit: top of the box is crushed as well with some tear inside...
Jesus looks like you got sloppy seconds. You a MISB collector?
hmm interesting, mine should hopefully be here by the end of the week, i will check to compare. i did not make any special requests regarding box though.
That's a shame, I have always gotten really nice boxes and the best packaging from RK. Unfortunately no-one guarantees box condition except for say BBTS when you pay extra for collectors grade.
I ordered doubles of Dirge from RK in May just before it was released and requested mint boxes. They actually emailed me to say they couldn't guarantee this and asked was I ok to continue the order on that basis. I said yes and it all worked out ok. It seems like given it is now August, they have a lower inventory and so the boxes are less likely to be minty. Unfortunately this is another side effect of the PC bungle where we all had to scramble to order elsewhere.
I understand that this may be one of the few stocks left so im not really expecting a very minty box but still i dont't think they should be sending opened boxes without letting the customer know. I already messaged them saying they have sent me an opened box which took them 2 days to process the item and still this is what i get?
Yes i also just got refund from that company so i ran to RK immediately for Dirge, but given this situation is just cutting all my interest in this hobby
