No More Monkeys Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 You guys are incredibly lucky! I still haven't even score a measly one.... Well, we were asking for trouble. Now we are fighting for scraps, and are having to accept totally busted boxes, when they were available just months ago.. Quote
andrewmac Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Well, we were asking for trouble. Now we are fighting for scraps, and are having to accept totally busted boxes, when they were available just months ago..Yes I know..I really fell asleep at the wheel on this one! Quote
TheBrickClique Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Well, if anybody in the Sacramento area wants to work out a trade for a "less than mint HH" for something else that's getting hard to find from the exclusive lineup, send me a message. Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah one of my 2 orders from 10/10 of Town Halls at 2 each was just shipped from Walmart. It is in one 20 lb box so that is hopeful. But they sent it FedEx Smartpost. Interesting the USPS will deliver a box that size. Quote
amtrak23 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 USPS ships stuff a lot larger than that. Think the size of a small pony. Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Its just odd to me. I receive lots of shipments of all sizes every year of all kinds of things but never anything that big via USPS. Quote
amtrak23 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Thats because most shippers are smarter than wm team of turds. If it's biggerish and heavyish it will almost always be much cheaper via ups/FedEx. Smartpost and its counterpart are Charles Barkley turrible. I'd bet money that they just slapped a label on the casepack, which really isn't that big if a package. Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I use Fedex Smartpost and it's great. Decent amount cheaper to since you don't have to pay for delivery. It's all personal preference but I like it. Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah my order of 2 Grand Emporiums from Sunday night overnight has shipped from Walmart and in one box. Also my 2nd order of 2 Town Halls from Walmart that had the 10 day delay notice has now moved to processing with an expected arrival date. Perhaps I will be 3 for 3 of them shipping these in the original Lego boxes. Quote
MTG/LEGO Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I use Fedex Smartpost and it's great. Decent amount cheaper to since you don't have to pay for delivery. It's all personal preference but I like it. Is it better then FedEx ground? I sent a tumbler today across the country in 24/24/8 box and 11 pounds with 3$ signature and insurance total cost was 20$. I see the FedEx smartpost but have never seen it or used it before. Thanks for any help! Quote
cladner Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 ordered 6 Tumblers yesterday am from WB store. 4 single orders went through. one order of 2 Tumblers triggered some fraud protection which stopped the order in its tracks and cost me those 2 tumblers - 4 is better than none (but not as good as 6 - arggghhhhhh....). all orders had the same name, shipping to my home billing address, had 2 different credit cards - wasn't my bank or cc company that stopped it - was WB's own internal mechanism. something to keep in mind if I ever order anything from there again.

loki1244 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Latest order of 2 AA's from Walmart yesterday was updated today as backordered Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Latest order of 2 AA's from Walmart yesterday was updated today as backordered Weerd it shows in stock to ship currently limit 5. Strange. Quote
loki1244 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Hmm that is weird. I'm going to have to call them. Quote

zskid00 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 My order of 2x Town Hall from Target.com arrived yesterday and they shipped them in the original case and even double boxed it, which was nice since the shipping box was pretty beat up. Both sets are in excellent condition. Quote
matt1147 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Is it better then FedEx ground? I sent a tumbler today across the country in 24/24/8 box and 11 pounds with 3$ signature and insurance total cost was 20$. I see the FedEx smartpost but have never seen it or used it before. Thanks for any help! Smart post is gonna save over Ground to residential addresses but also take at least 2x the transit time so there's trade offs. Quote

brickelements Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 My TH from Target arrived yesterday. Huge shipping box. Banged up. I was ready to get in the car and take it directly to my local target to open it in front og them requesting a discount. Much to my surprise the TH box was quite nice...small dent on the bottom backside of the box. Front is near pristine. Quite happy with the purchase. Quote
biking_tiger Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Received a Pet Shop from Target yesterday--the shipping box was 3x too big, but filled with air pillows and the actual Pet Shop in perfect condition. I have two THs scheduled for delivery from Target today... we shall see how they look. Quote

BTW, in my local Target, they said they can only accept returns for online order - nothing else. No adjustments no anything Quote
BrickLegacy Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Target did the same thing with my haunted houses. Huge boxes but with sufficient air padding. Most of them arrived in very good condition. Quote

znjndmawn Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 2 SSDs ordered in Austria were cancelled. Got an email from Lego that the demand exceeded their supply spiel. =( Quote
cissi Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 amazon sent my PS with the paper shredder I ordered a few days apart. Very likely getting a smashed box but may have a change to get compensation. lol Quote
