High ship costs along with shipping small orders spread over several packages caused me to quickly learn to avoid them (and to terminate my account.) As for RUN-DMC, I'd tell you about them but it's tricky. It's tricky, tricky, tricky. Sadly, for collectible pre-orders, they are still the most consistent and reasonably priced.

I got shipping notices on Monday with tracking numbers (USPS) but so far nothing is in transit. Im getting that crappy "Please call customer service" message because I ordered a backordered product via PayPal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) My Ecto-1 from my backordered purchase from the week before Black Friday just arrived. Ecto is still TOOS, so I may be able to QFLL this bad boy and get a free Dickens out of it. I love Dickens with no strings attached.

I'm debating whether I should call them to fix the error or not. Plenty of other orders went through fine. Already received a Dickens and Green Brick with botanical accessories.

Are you getting the one that says to contact customer service? My experience this year has been to ignore them. If there isn't anything wrong with the payment source, eventually they try again and it goes through without having to intervene. It can take a few weeks (sometimes a month). But I haven't had any of them not eventually go through. And they were the same as yours -- one order out of a batch of good orders. I think their backend just has an occassional hiccup. One less thing to put your account and purchase history in front of human eyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I had a Ninjago Land Bounty show up one pound light from Target. That's what's nice about getting multiples sometimes, it's easy to tell the difference in weight between sets. The seals all look good.

I tried placing an order and got insta canceled. I think I overdid it last week. I've had most orders in the past week canceled from Target. But, I was able to get a small order of full priced LEGO to go through. It looks like any order that includes any of the BF/CM sets that are still on sale gets insta-cancelled. Anything without those sets goes through. At least so far anyway! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I've also been having some order cancelations come in today for things that I ordered last week but they can't fulfill the orders on. For example, if I bought 3 of an item and 2 were already delivered, they've canceled the last item due to not having stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joojoobricks5798 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 My cousin purchased more than $200 during double vip weekend in store. She was there purchasing Christmas Gifts. During Thanksgiving when I visited her, I asked her if she got her gwp. She did not recieve the gwp which was the dickens and the teal bricks. She didn’t know she was supposed to get the gifts. So I checked her receipt and no gwp has been scanned. I guess they either forgot or just skipped her because she didn’t know. Do you think the lego store will give her the current gwp if she brings the receipt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I am also noticing that about 10% of the sets I received this season have seals that just comes off...I even noticed on a large set directly from LEGO Shop at Home a re-taped seal. Ultimately I won't sweat it...but every time I see a bad seal I know I lost some money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, gmpirate said: Was not aware they set price limits. Manufacturer to Distributors are covered by Minimal Advertised Price policies, which are not legally binding. Distributors (in this care, EE) then invokes a Retail Price Maintenance Agreement with its' clients, which is binding or they will drop you as a client. Therefore, they can set a minimal price in which you can sell while they are free to sell lower (and they often do.) Note that when I say "clients" I mean those that are supposedly getting wholesale prices, not their retail customers. Believe me, EE isn't shy about calling you and sending you letters when they see that you have violated your agreement. It's a despicable practice, hence the reason that I politely asked them to kiss my ass. https://www.theantitrustattorney.com/category/resale-price-maintenance/ Edited December 3, 2020 by raindog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindog Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 This is why I hate FedEx so much. I never left the house all day. USPS delivered 2 packages today, UPS delivered 5. But yet, FedEx couldn't seem to find me at home. Bastards! To add insult to injury, I can almost see the FedEx terminal from my front porch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
