newbie77 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Nope. Last round of RI's I had like 30 separate orders for the max limit of those and DDC's and no harm done. All shipped. max limit of 5? or max-limit of 1? during those orders? just curious. recently the max-limit of some lego sets has been down to 1/order... really frustrating and time consuming to place orders.... tracking is another pain... of course works wonders on large exclusives ... at least they pack them well but smaller sets... different story..

newbie77 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The RI's were limit 1. I added DDC's to each order when I could. Searching my email now it has 29 orders or so. wow... admire your patience and perseverance. i mean literally its tough to go through placing 30 orders and then make sure that you receive all the items. inventory them. etc etc....

California92563 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I got my mos eisley cantina from Amazon today and It had a couple small creases, and a pretty big crease on the front of it so I contacted customer service and they offered to give me 20% back so I accepted and got $10.58 back so I'm a happy camper haha Edited January 27, 2015 by California92563 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie77 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) watch out with the target online orders. looks like they have started to slap labels on the sets with the order numbers etc. its a pain to take those out of the set. (yes they were in a box nicely packaged. some overdone but ... ; i am pretty sure its not only with my order ) if anyone is planning on saving for the future; boxes may not be MISB or even NISB once it gets damaged while peeling off the label. (just spent 2 hours peeling off labels from target orders. definitely not fun.) Edited January 27, 2015 by newbie77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie77 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Target does the same for in store pickup orders as well. Heat gun or glue gone. about 1/2 of the time the stickers come off without issue just peeling them. Other 1/2 the tear. It's the target pickup version of russian roulette. yup i was aware of the pickup order but not the online shipped orders ... grrrr....

TheBrickClique Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Heat guns are cheaper and better designed for the task. No need to get ionized volume and body with cardboard boxes . Get a dual wattage model and use it on the lower setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Heat guns are cheaper and better designed for the task. No need to get ionized volume and body with cardboard boxes . Get a dual wattage model and use it on the lower setting. AND GO SLOW! As mentioned the sticker will come off leaving no residue. What I do is start at a corner and use my heat gun (low setting) and heat where my fingers are. (back and forth) When my fingers get too hot it's time to start peeling at that corner. slowly peel until the sticker stops a little then heat and repeat. 2 hours? I can only assume that you exaggerate like my father-in-law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmock12 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My GE order from Blinq on Amazon on 1/20 was cancelled this evening. Kind of thought it was too good to be true but had never had an item cancelled on Amazon before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buidee Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My two SW from Amazon both had stickers on them, one peeled off no problem, the other one caused a small rip near the UPC code. Doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
