My experience so far...
All purchases have been fulfilled aside from an in stock purchase made over a month ago.
Not sure what's going on and i really don't want to be let down as I've been a satisfied customer but all these stories of unfulfilled orders are starting to concern me.
Honestly, I'm wondering if their is an issue getting stuff to WA/NZ via sendle.... seems to be where alot of complaints or issues arise.
There's one guy (Let's call him Mr Customer) with 6 orders, all separate, but some large items that from what i see, are waiting for all his items to arrive so they ship together (looks like 4/6 arrived very recently). Seeming free shipping appears to have been picked on all, this makes sense on that evidence, but to Mr Customer wanting each thing as it arrived (And yes I have a feeling this is a board member... but this was shown on FB yesterday..) their complaint is that 1 item arrived a while ago, so why hasen't it sent yet.
Then you look at how TBI seems to operate.... its been said by TBI before they wont answer emails about information found on the website.... so "Why hasn't my stuff sent" is easily answered by looking up the shipping info (Answer: when there are 4 things to send it will send because thats what was selected.)
So Mr Customer is upset he hasn't got his item. Mr TBI is upset he keeps getting asked about shipping. Mr Customer is upset his Q about shipping hasn't been answered.... and all the while the last item is about to arrive soon and kick the delivery into action.....
But for ChlorHex, your location says WA... and maybe sendle doesn't give the nice cheap rate for stuff crossing the country, so thats why your instock is a little slow, and Mr Customer's 6 orders aren't getting split up into more frequent sendles.
Gx-71, arrived said Nov, and MP-10g.
The arrived / March makes no sense and more delay tactic it looks.
Received Lancer yesterday. Paid in August, pre-order ETA November. I had a response to a query in December but radio silence thereafter until I got the shipping notification.
It was well packed, with a handwritten thank you note, and I have no complaints in that respect, but the lag time has me thinking twice about doing more pre-orders.
Received email notification of 3 items for shipment via sendle: (email date March 3rd 2019)
Mirage
Thundercracker
Smokescreen
*3 other old items not shipped (also the most expensive of the 6 total items) SIEGE Astro Train, Planet X Grimlock, SIEGE Omega Supreme.
Not that ALL items I have asked for refunds for and not received at item, or a refund at this stage. will post when/if anything actually arrives.
No mention of the 3 missing items in email or to my customer queries (all old items from 2019).
After these items didnt turn up 3-6 months ago, bought them elsewhere, (rather than miss out altogether) so useless to me getting more doubles.
NOTE: The emails were only received after I opened a case with QLD Fair Trade, and im contact with others who received no communication from TBI for months on end, until they contacted QLD Fair Trade, and then in space of week or so after that contact they heard from TBI out of the blue.
Has ANYONE received ANY Takara Masterpiece figures since June 2019?
