tfidownunder (Australia) feedback

Just thought i'd give some feedback to this small online Australian TF store slowly blooming up.

Overall feedback: A++++++

Even though they're not fully operational yet, i've been in contact with them via facebook and i have to say, i'm VERY satisfied with them.

I ordered MMC Hexatron- for a VERY good price- much cheaper than buying from any other overseas retailers. Customer support and communication has been excellent. Packaging and delivery of Hexatron was top notch and arrived within 2-3 days (they're based in QLD i think).

They have a few 3rd party and Takara/Masterpiece products coming in soon. Their website may not be functional yet- but give them a private message over FB and they'll be sure to make arrangements to order/hold products for you. With all the new tempting 3P and MP products coming soon and expensive prices from overseas retailers, i'm holding out for when this site goes fully operational.

Keep on the lookout for this site when it starts up- i know i'll be

And most importantly- it'll be supporting a local Australian supplier of much wanted Transformer products, so get in on it XD

Was his the guy who started all the drama on here a few months back?

sort of, the owner of that site was one of the people involved in that incident, but for the sake of this forum and his site I think it's best not to bring that back up

i'm not sure of what drama occurred a few months ago- i don't frequent these boards as often as i used to (and no need to bring up this incident- don't wana start anything like Firestorm says). My intentions were to just give feedback on my experience so far with this site as i can see they're slowly coming along. As i said- from my personal experience so far they're reliable to me.

That's cool, I wasn't having a go or anything. I was just curious as to who was involved with that site. I like to know who I am dealing with before I send them my money, especially on an untested site. That you are happy with your purchase bodes well, hopefully we get some more positive feedback about them and we can get some good bargains.

I think some of the drama, and why many were dubious was that it all seemed premature (e.g. Calling it tfidownunder.com but not registering the domain name, promising extremely hot prices before the stock was avail., starting numerous threads to promote it, etc.)

It would be great to see a reliable and cost friendly TF store succeed , as we need more competition. I look forward to seeing their website when it is up (just redirects to fb now) and would definitely try a purchase if they take Paypal. The enthusiasm is admirable, but I'd like to hear from others if they have had any dealings, for good or for ill. Your post read more like an advertorial than a spontaneous review (eg A+++++)

Ordered a uniquite toys pack of sharkies http://www.tfidownunder.com/shop/uni...ys-g02-sharky/

arrived in perfect order.
Recycled packaging so the environment doesn't suffer and then bubble wrapped arrived with the box and contents undamaged fast and cheap the way i like it.
excellent customer service from the team at TFI downunder.

finally an Aussie store with proper non scary shipping


now that i know i can get my Masterpiece TFs locally i'll be going there before i check out the international ones from now on.

That's good to hear. I am still waiting for a reply about postage costs.
I got quoted $17 to send 2 sets of DR Wu launchers which seems excessive to me, especially as I can get them from Hong Kong for $8US postage.
I want to support the local business but not if its noticeably more expensive than overseas.

For the Dr Wu launchers maybe seems a bit high, if they are only in small packaging. At least a postage quote is available before processing an order. Other items the postage seems pretty standard for Australian shipping.
