Achilles Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I know a couple other people talked about Zavvi, just want to echo went smooth and I got my product in a relatively reasonable amount of time. Let's hope the same holds true with the SMB and Pre-order bonus set come 8/1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's enough. There's no special rare pieces or anything right? Besides the 20 year reference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that 20 yrs tile is not exclusive, it also exists in 40362 and 40333. I guess the higher price tag is just due to higher purchase threshold. If my memory serves, it was gwp with $200? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's probably all I guess. I should understand better, it's like some graded baseball card packs I have that are worth $100-200 but if opened the cards inside are probably worth a few bucks. The value is in being unopened. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you purchased with your card, no such issue. Issue fixed itself again and items are in warehouse. Weird. I just let it sit there and I assume they try the PayPal authorization again.

brickvoyeur Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Lego Customer Service finally got back to my alternate buying account about the droid commander polybag. Alt account was lacking points due to not being used much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i saw a few get sold for high $30's. although the smart ones probably sold theirs quick once they realized the value. i could be wrong, but i have a sneaky suspicion that the same thing is going to happen on the mini batmobile that came from the UCS purchase. people called foul on that one too. very few truly exclusive sets out there if they just bring them back via other channels at a later date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I would be mad as well. I don't think LEGO is realizing they're encouraging people to grab the GWP and sell it immediately. Shame no one is really interested in the May the 4th GWP... *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keymomachine Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I ordered a couple Assembly Squares from Walmart last week and they were supposed to arrive today but FedEx sent me an e-mail saying they are unable to complete delivery: Damaged - handling per shipper instructions Recommended action : No action required. Am I just SOL here? Should I call Walmart and see what they can do for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 What does "no action required" mean? I would be calling walmart and fed ex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLL Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 5x21319 ordered the other day arrived in a big box, not much cushions being used inside but surprisingly all sets are in mint condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Got a couple of orders of 75958 delivered today from the Walmart $10 deal thing. Both orders of two came merely wrapped in brown paper and taped up. No box. That was a new one for me. Considering that I was surprised they weren't more damaged.

BaconBits Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I have noticed the same thing in last few months even with a few shipments from Amazon and Walmart. Kohls used to be hit or miss for me, and now almost everything including bigger boxes are just wrapped in plastic or envelope. Target for me is the only one that I always have gotten LEGO shipments in a box. Even for personal build, sometimes the box is so damaged the stickers, instructions, and parts are damaged as well. Then they ship a partial order with just minifig packs and put those in a box, but ship the larger LEGO $100-200 set in plastic or envelope. With the ongoing situation, things are rough in the shipping department and quality is slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Rec'd 1 of 2 Technic Car Transporter from Hut Group (can't remember Zavvi or iwoot UK or Iwoot US) anyway, minty fresh 2nd should arrive later today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmpirate Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 My first arrived today as well. The shipping box was in perfect condition. The set . . . not so much. It's an overseas return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickolodon Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Got order from WMT but no gift cards...so, they ship GCs separately?) nvm e-gift card sent.I see mandalorian baby yoda toys shipped out for all pre-orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4cs Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 All of my Zavvi orders for Technic sets have arrived almost mint. It's crazy to see DHL getting orders from the UK to the US Midwest in faster time than domestic UPS and FedEx shipments. I know it has to be COVID-19 related staffing issues and increased package volume from online ordering. The USPS tracking system is a dumpster fire right now - packages hardly being scanned at any point along the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
