Ridden001 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Well: I had to dispute my charge through My Credit Card for my SSP. Since I ordered them in June of LAST YEAR, I couldn’t dispute it through PayPal. They never responded to my tickets asking to change shipping to UPS. I also disputed 3 charges of $234 each for the Green GFF Zaku since it was still in the range allowable to dispute through PayPal. I know covid messed things up, but they could have done a much better job communicating options to customers, they just did nothing. Good News, I ordered 2 SSP sets through ebay for $152.00 shipped DHL and already received them. Edited May 13, 2020 by Ridden001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've mentioned this a number of times now. Much love for wanting to offload, but honestly, a number of us are in the same boat. We purchased last June, got screwed in Dec, bought them elsewhere in Dec, got screwed in April, bought them elsewhere in April and have excess now. Haha. (Personally, I squared mine away so I'm good. Just trying to help.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimgerde Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I had three SSPs paid pre orders on NY since last summer. After reading about the issues with EMS, and NY's lack of proactivity in reaching out to people, I kindly requested a refund through a ticket, yesterday. They essentially told me to gtfo - store credit is the best they can do. WTF! Not sure what my options are at this point. I had paid with PayPal (using my Visa card as the funding source). It's too late to put in a claim with PayPal - is it worth even trying to do so with my Visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I just got an email from N-Y abt my HMR VF-4G. So, seems that they are starting to ship again in the midst of the pandemic. Just as a note of perhaps what is happening. Final decision is still yours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Your best option is to just wait it out with NY, unfortunately. I cannot recall any cases where they didn't deliver eventually, so you'll get what you paid for, it'll just be on their own nonsense timetable. Worst case, they wind up cancelling on you, in which case, I think it would have to be a full refund. Their store credit is a crock, and you do not want to have to deal with that crap, especially for that amount. I did their store credit once, and regretted everything immediately. I've got four sets on order with them, and I'm resigned to wait it out until they get around to delivering. As far as the items being in-hand or not... I wouldn't bet on it. Between their practice of buying up local stock to redistribute, and their completely faffing off the entire first round of orders, I'm thinking they're going to be hurting to deliver on all the orders they received.

totallyjem Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 NY assigned reference numbers to both parts of my order so the items are just waiting for shipping. Honestly it’s gonna be a year soon so what’s a few more months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like others have said, just wait and you will get your parts. Is it really that important to get these parts immediately considering what’s going on in the world?

Bahamutzyro Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I just have to say, I ordered a set of SSP from Mandarake on Monday. I received today via DHL in New York. Top notch service. 1st time ever ordered from Mandarake. I will use them going forward. great service. Ny got back to me and said they offer other services UPS etc. I replied to them how much to ship via the alternate methods. I have 4 sets on order with them and have already paid 5600 yens to ship to New York. lets see how much they try to charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: NY, I had 4 sets ordered as well. UPS was something like ~$36/set so the additional upcharge was like ~$144. (Just going off of memory.) I politely declined.

I'm on the east coast, but New York would probably be a bit cheaper. I turned it down, but I'm seriously considering it now. This is my last outstanding order anywhere, and I kind of want to be done with it. It feels like I'm paying a ransom, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Yeah, no, their UPS fees are highway robbery. I'm not touching that option, I paid for my shipping already. I ordered two sets on ebay for a nominal mark-up after NY fumbled the first order, so I'm going to just wait it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably because NY is not ordering directly from Bandai. They took more orders than Bandai would allow them, and are now probably desperately scrambling to find all of the stock they promised people. Remember, they overslept through the entire first round of orders. They are still catching up on those who ordered last year, so if you didn't make that cut, you are going to be waiting a long time. Personally? I'm not betting they'll be able to pull it off, and at this point, I would not even be surprised if they wind up taking a loss on each one delivered. The reason they refuse to give you your money back is because they don't have any to give you. Your pre-order payment was a no-interest loan that they've already spent to run their business. They are quickly falling to my last resort to order literally anything, because they keep demonstrating that all they are doing is gambling with your pre-order money to somehow keep the shop afloat.
