eXis10z Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I'll expect the 2nd round POs for Eva-02 to be slightly easier since you guys gotten yours from BF. On another note, apparently Yodobashi Kyoto has allowed only Japan residents to PO Eva-02 in a bit to combat chinese scalpers. Can't verify its authenticity.

However, this was our error, and we intend to fill the orders that were placed. This item was a pre-order, and should ship closer to the end of the year. There was no nefarious intentions in the posting of the item, it was simply an error on our end. It is impressive that you guys found the page, as it was not meant to be listed and had no image or description. We knew we had the best fans, but now we know we also have the cleverest. We have been striving to increase the number of Metal Builds that come into the US, and if more become available, we will let you know. The item will still be allocated to our partner stores, and they should be doing their order in the coming weeks. If you placed an order through us, you should be getting an email from our Customer Service in the next day or so. Thanks! This is great news! And welcome to MacrossWorld, @BluefinBrands! By the way, since no one asked this. What are the chances that you guys might carry MACROSS stuff from Bandai?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually ebay has 60 days for you to leave feedback, but by the time these items reach destination it will be long past 60 days, and if anything wrong I guess ebay will hardly be on your side. Additionally, all other ebay sellers are scalping more so this outstanding price makes me hesitated. Just some thoughts. Great price I must say.

If you use Paypal, you’re 180 days protected. If that didn’t help, then you can still file claim with your credit card that you use with the transaction.

I'm actually more worried that otaku square doesn't have enough inventory for international buyers like us... Wouldn't worry about that, we place reservations on-demand, and if it turns out we can no longer place them we stop offering an item for pre-orders Even though our focus is primarily European customers, we are also dedicated to delivering quality service to any country we are able to serve. And in the rare event that we can't deliver you'll simply be fully refunded by us. We noticed some confusion as to when our pre-orders will ship, and as some of you have already answered: EVA 01 is set to ship in November 2019, EVA 02 is set to ship in January 2020. (However it would not be the first time an item shows up early in our fulfillment center.) These indications only apply for pre-orders placed with us, we can't speak for other retailers. Our apologies if this post sounds advertise-ish, but we are a quite new and unknown company for most customers and thought it'd be nice to jump in and clarify some matters. ^ Riekelt, Customer Service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
