tfidownunder (Australia) feedback

yeah mate. I got that email and then received a tracking email from aus. post a few hours after.

I'd give it a day or so and you should have a tracking email.

Millhouse - sorry mate, dunno what to tell you. But he has said on facebook that he aims to get all the apollyon orders out by tomorrow.

He's responding to my FB enquiry now (well, an hour ago). I'll see what happens. I've provided my payment details to him and hope this is resolved quickly.

Considering I ordered it 10/12/2014 and paid 20/12/2014, I would have expected it to arrive by now.

my apollyon arrived - the auspost tracking was very thorough.

Very happy with the packaging from TFI Downunder.

This was my first (received) order through them (still waiting on other pre-orders) and I would definitely recommend them (apart from wishing that there were more fb updates on how he was travelling with getting the large orders out)

Hey TFI, any chance you're getting Platinum Edition Gen1 Insecticon reissue?

[STL]

TFI are small and, by comparison, so are their customer base. We are at the end of the distribution queue. Distributors will prioritize large clients first to empty their warehouses as fast as they can. Even stores like Robot Kingdom and Chimungmung, who are in Hong Kong, are towards the end.

Not many retailers allow cancellations, really. TFI requests payment before their distributor ships. Placing an order and canceling potentially harms them, as they can't always adjust their order quota.

Hopefully he will learn from this, and the next time he gets a large shipment in he will be better prepared.

Whoa, I thought RK was a biggy. Didn't realise they were smaller than BBTS/TFSource

A couple of my TFIDU pre-orders arrived this week. Everything was well packed and communication was fantastic throughout. I even got a photo of my shipping box and postage label via Facebook!

Not sure how large RK is. It's just that on the TFW2005 boards people were getting orders from Toy Dojo and Captured Prey first, even before BBTS or TF Source, if memory serves...

I haven't received anything yet, and paid in December 2014.

Hi mate, what did you order and pay for? Have you emailed us about it yet?

[Tfiguy]

Guys, Tfi Down Under is very small in comparison to Tfsource or BBTS. Take into consideration that there are more people in most major cities in the States then there are in the entire country of Australia. Where I may order say 10-20 or even 100 of an item, these guys order in the absolute thousands for some items to match their massive market. So, of course I get my crappy little order of 20 after the others that have massive ordersof 100s or 1000s.

Keep in mind also - Tfi; it's one guy. Me, Evan. I started this company from scratch and worked hard to get it to where it is today.
It is not enough to pay myself let alone a helper and before I had a bit of a rough patch where I was working 14/1 roster and still smashing out Apollyons though. Sorry about the delays in emails I was answering minimum 20 a day on top of shipping them out.
Now I'm back in full swing and items are shipping out MUCH closer to schedule. I hope that it can one day become big enough that we can match the speed of the large companies. But, to do this I need Australia's help.

P.S. Sorry for not being on here for a long time. I've been far too busy as of late

I've been really happy with TFI lately. They seemed to get swamped around the time of Apollyon hitting, and given the interest, that's understandable. I think Evan's definitely working hard on the site and have just placed my Takara Devvy order there too.

Just wanted to say something positive!

Were you at melbourne supernova? If so i purchased Zinnia from you and i will continue buying from you as i don't get charged 2000 dollars for 5 items in cluding shipping (slight exaggeration)


Edit: any chance you will get the taktom rid scourge (g2 prime repaint) and grand scourge in?
