Pete from BotCon answering questions

[Sinnertwin]

Yeah, he's been back on a few more times and has answered easy questions posed post mine but mine remain unanswered .

There have been a few of us which have brought up the 'postage to Aus' issue, in particular Griffin wrote a very detailed post about it with numerous examples of overcharging and so far this issue has been completely ignored. Don't know if it's because he is looking into the issue or just fobbing it off such as he did with Sky Shadow

I'd like to think that he is looking into them -a simple acknowledgement would've been sufficient at this point- but if it were our 'Murican friends getting overcharged, you can bet your Fort Max that the issue would be addressed quicksmart

dammit! I was going to post that here

I don't know why international members continue to support this club. Going on their past actions (aka none) nothing is going to change in FP while they hold the license. The worlds-hardest-to-setup forum gets more airtime then proof of deliberate and widespread overcharging of international members.

For those of us who are completists and go to BotCon, it's a necessary evil to be a member.

Contacting them by phone and email got me ignored, so I had to confront them at BotCon where they couldn't run away...
But even then, they didn't do what they promised (review past orders and refund everything... they only refunded the two orders I could prove).
And to prevent further claims, the shipping amount is no longer on the boxes.

If I was selling stuff and got challenged about knowingly over-charging on shipping, make it difficult to get an answer, then admit that it happened and assure you that I will make sure it never happens again... but instead hide future shipping amounts to prevent further challenges. I would have to be very deceptive and sneaky to do that to protect profit that I was never entitled to.

It is tough (very tough for completionists) but i get a joy from buying most FP figures 2nd hand. The club gets none of my money this way. I have bought through FP members sometimes but i am often not comfortable with this and don't proceed to ask. I do cherrypick my figures and a few i missed now sit in UnobtainiumLand (along with HasTak releases) but a suprising number are still affordable. This year i placed a RK order during BotCon to catch up on other non-club missed figures.
