Mommar Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 There isn't a holiday in Japan or something, is there? It's odd the estimate is so far out this time. Quote
Saburo Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I am not sure what is going on. Maybe some strangeness with their tracking system or another thing that crossed my mind its making a stop in Memphis so they can determine if its scale plastic model parts again.

OzmaLee74 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 My expected ship date still says 8/27 and the expected delivery date says Friday 8/29. Hopefully this does not change. I think the Tornado parts look better on the G than on the F because the colors match the plane. Quote

OzmaLee74 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 NY bro! Don't know if it makes a difference that I'm in San Diego. Quote
Saburo Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 @OzmaLee74. Thank for the info, I would think that being SD would make a one day difference, not a 4 business day difference. Oh well, not sure what is going on with FedEX, I just have to wait. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 No problem! Just wait til it's actually picked up and in transit. Hopefully your delivery dates get updated to some day a lot sooner! =) Quote
Loop Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) OK.... I went to the site and checked my orders and it says that both of my Tornado sets are shipped. I never got an e-mail stating so. I chose EMS shipping btw. The tracking is showing that it's moving through Japan atm. Edited August 26, 2014 by Loop Quote
NightCastle Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I've been having issues with receiving e-mails from NY. I contacted them about the August 22 due date for the payment of the Tornado parts and they said an e-mail was sent out, but I never got one. I have received many e-mails from them otherwise, however. So, I guess they are having some issues. Loop, was your order from NY? Quote
Loop Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah my sets are also from NY, I hope the payment notifications are not broken too. Quote
NightCastle Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I hope I don't miss any other order payment requests. That would be bad considering their no-nonsense approach to missing a payment. VM, did you get the payment request? Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I just got my shipping notice email from NY for both tornado parts sets. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 My expected delivery date has changed from Friday 8/29 to Thursday 8/28 now that the package is in transit. Nice! Quote
Saburo Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Mine is in transit, now it's 9/3 rather than 9/4... Quote
neoexcaliber Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 NY just contacted me and told me they cannot honor the shipping price they initially set and which I've already paid for. Anyone faced a similar problem before? Seems like a breach of contract to me. Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I had that happen with the RVF-25, I used it as an excuse to cancel my order and bought it from HLJ (who had it for cheaper). you could most likely get a full refund, but then you'd have to find a different place to get this from, which could be more trouble than it's worth (not to mention potentially more expensive at this point).

OzmaLee74 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Why would FedEx International Priority take a week? Don't they all pass through the same hub? Quote
Mommar Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Why would FedEx International Priority take a week? Don't they all pass through the same hub? This is what I'm wondering. Oh, my shipping info. says International Economy... Edited August 27, 2014 by Mommar Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 This is what I'm wondering. Oh, my shipping info. says International Economy... Hmm... Mine says the service is international priority. Maybe it's because it's lighter than your two just being the G parts? Who knows! It's like getting Ground when you paid for 2 day shipping. Quote
Saburo Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) This is what I'm wondering. Oh, my shipping info. says International Economy... International Economy is listed on mine too. Hmm... Mine says the service is international priority. Maybe it's because it's lighter than your two just being the G parts? Who knows! It's like getting Ground when you paid for 2 day shipping. I am guessing that is it...I checked my previous order for VF-25F Tornado parts tracking which as also listed as International Economy, that was delivered in a couple of days and its exactly the same (2 sets of Tornado Parts) as the G parts. So still no in hand pics? I have been looking but no pics or reviews of the G parts in the wild. Edited August 27, 2014 by Saburo Quote
Hey-Pi-Ron Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 FINALLY! My poor table... I need some space for VF-0D in future... Quote
Mommar Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Oh, I bet I know why they're estimating shipping being so late. Labor Day is this coming Monday. I'll bet they're anticipating a small workforce turnout Friday (all weekend, really), in addition to Monday being a holiday. Edited August 27, 2014 by Mommar Quote
Mommar Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Are we sure there isn't something going on in Japan right now too? it's taken them three days and it still hasn't even left Japan. This is BS. Quote

My parcel wait in japan post about a week. And this was a month ago. I really don't know what's going on there. Glad my parts are in my hands now. Quote

This is BS. It is a different item but I got two shipment via registered SAL this month. Both shipment only took 3 days from posting to dispatch from Japan.

xrentonx Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 My G parts just shipped from NY. Probably about a day after I got the prep notice. Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Picking mine up locally tomorrow. Let's see if they have print mistakes on the box this time round! Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Mine just appeared at my door step. Never got an email from NY that they shipped so it was a surprise. Quote
Saburo Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Picking mine up locally tomorrow. Let's see if they have print mistakes on the box this time round! Post your findings, I am curious if the corrected it. Mine just appeared at my door step. Never got an email from NY that they shipped so it was a surprise. Now that is a nice surprise. Quote
Mommar Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Mine just appeared at my door step. Never got an email from NY that they shipped so it was a surprise. Where do you live? Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Tornado G had landed. For a minute there, I was a little worried since FedEx usually delivers early morning. Quote
