So they finally got back to me about my SSP order stating that the supplier has cancelled all orders for them for what ever reason.. They gave me the option for either store credit or swap for a similar priced item so I took the store credit of 12,500¥.. Then after that they informed me that my Kakizaki order was ready to ship but I would have to pay an additional fee of 9000¥ for UPS shipping as EMS is still not available to Australia apparently? I asked if I could use my store credit for the additional shipping costs which they said was fine but they appear to have absorbed the left over 3500¥ from the original store credit in the process! Which isn't much in the overall scheme of things but it is still about $45 Aussie dollars.. Not sure if I should be pissed about that or just thankful that my Kakizaki is finally on its way and should just shrug my shoulders in defeat. I like how NY hasn't contacted anyone about their supplier cancelling all orders. If that is what happened, there should be an email out to all people waiting that they can't fulfill their orders. So i guess they are hanging on to the money hoping people forget about their order. What a bunch of sleezy grifters. Quote

I have an HMR VF-4 that they still haven't shipped. The other is for a DX VF-1S and a set of Super/Strike parts. Quote

Did they cancel orders at all? I received my strike parts all 4 of them, and my KAKI shipped last week via boat. I just sent them emails asking to upgrade or downgrade shipping when items were released. My missle set shipped 2 months ago via sea and it’s set to be delivered this week. I would send them emails.

jenius Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Yes, they are cancelling SSP orders saying they were unable to acquire them and giving store credit. Quote

Just go into the NY thread created by @DYRL VF-1S. Most of your questions will be answered there.

Even if you did send them emails, there is a possibility that they will ignore you after the first one. Edited September 18, 2020 by borgified Quote
Roy Focker Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 As far I know they didn't inform people when they learned they couldn't fulfill orders. You had to ask them what was going on and then they gave you store credit. Quote
Lolicon Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Looks like NY has moved from unreliable seller to straight up thievery. They're now worse than Nin Nin. At least Nin Nin refunded my money when they couldn't fulfill my order. This store credit BS is just that. The fact that you have to harass them to even get that is just deplorable. Quote

ErikElvis Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Yep got 4 strike part sets from NY. Won’t respond on the other 2. (I know there’s a thread for this). But anyway looks like I won’t be getting anymore than 4 dyrl releases. Hard to decide on a max 1s or 1 a though. Quote

Roy Focker Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 I've been keeping all my boxes in a closet. Is the attic a safe space? You're not going to find a colony of baby spiders in those boxes a year from now? My attic crawl space is located in the garage. I'd need a 12ft ladder to reach it. I don't get NY business model. Stuff happens not getting correct orders or on time from a supplier can happen. No other business that I've ever dealt with passes their problems on to their customers. Quote

I repeatedly asked for them to bump up my order to a more expensive shipping method and then they just decided to keep my money and not offer store credit. Worth POS customer service and staff. Quote

It's @tekering's job to organize his storage space according to his own standards and he doesn't have much of a storage space like you do.

It will go up in price eventually as stocks gets down to the bare minimal amount. The lowest I've seen list for DX 1s Hikaru was 18k yen and the highest was 30k yen from Manda (both where actually listed here to my knowledge and buried in this thread). Quote
