kid Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 So I also took the risk and purchased the 16 set from the first seller with 0% feedback. Got this message today. Any one else get the same? sir as we know you didnt find the order imformation we call the China Post today and we know they lost all our items by accident and we lost our order imformation we had sent the new items to you one more time,and we will pay all the fees pls receive our apologize. and we hope everything will be alright this time Got the same message. I asked them for a new tracking number.
_dargor_ Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 i´ve just checked the seller of my last order and his store is empty. Luckily it appears that the tracking number is working and my order left for Spain on 7th January. Hope It will arrive the following week. The store is this (I think someone around here recommended it). http://es.aliexpress.com/store/1084017
jangosolo Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Another seller has been in touch (MRF Trade - the one with the empty store!!!) and says that as the Tumbler is new the factory is very slow so therefore it hasn't shipped, but will this week. Hmmm!! Then why go to the bother of stating it had shipped? Very disappointing... but I really want it still!

pmptstc1 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 They were probably lying and didn't send it out the first time, but now there is a small chance we'll end up with two sets. I'll be happy if I just get the set I ordered within the next two weeks.
TheWoodenLeg Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 If he does send them like he says he will he still wont be getting good feedback from me on his store.
Kire Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I am really not sure if this seller is trying to scam us or he is genuinely being honest. If he was trying to scam us, why even bother in replying? He would just not reply. He is at least trying to communicate with us. I'm going to be optimistic about this over being pessimistic.
TyroneBricks93 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm guessing he maybe wants to delay us from opening a case or something?
pmptstc1 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I don't think they even get the money until we confirm the item was received, so I don't see the point in scamming. Probably just trying to buy time for shipping.
TyroneBricks93 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Honestly, I'd have preferred a message saying that the stock will be arrive late and therefore shipping late, and then the seller extending purchase protection by two weeks, not lied to... I suppose there's competition to be the first listed on the site though. Edited January 22, 2015 by TyroneBricks93

ClickDastardly Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I am really not sure if this seller is trying to scam us or he is genuinely being honest. If he was trying to scam us, why even bother in replying? He would just not reply. He is at least trying to communicate with us. I'm going to be optimistic about this over being pessimistic. I got the same message from him. I agree...I'm trying believe he is just a new seller and is having some issues. But, at least, he is communicating about it. I have heard nothing from a different seller about the new Iron Man wave that I ordered at the same time. Someone else here mentioned that wave and it sounds like SY hasn't even shipped them out yet. So, even though that order was supposedly shipped, I assume the sellers are still waiting to get the products. So I don't expect to get either the new Iron Man wave, or the 16 different superheroes, any time soon. Oh well. And, yes, the sellers don't get the money until either A) we punch the button on the order screen saying we successfully received the items, or B) the purchase protection period runs out and no claim is filed. I had a problem with 1 seller so far (out of about a dozen different orders from different sellers). I filed a claim...and went back and forth with the seller a few times and got nowhere. i pushed the button on the claim screen saying I wanted to escalate the claim. I got my money refunded and the seller eventually came back and said they had addressed my package wrong (twice). They forgot to put the street address on the package...which is kind of an important part of the address for a package going to the US. The only way I could see scamming work for them is if a bunch of people don't get their items and they don't file a claim to AliExpress with the allotted time period. Because at the end of the purchase protection time period, the money is automatically released to the seller. And I understand the need to release the money like that because I am sure not everyone bothers to go in and always confirm that they received their order in a timely fashion. That wouldn't be fair to the sellers. AliExpress even sends Email reminders when purchase protection is running out on something. I think overall it works pretty well. And these aren't life and death supplies coming to me. I can wait a little longer. Edited January 22, 2015 by ClickDastardly
jangosolo Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Can't link on my phone, but on decool's Facebook feed they've just shown a rather good looking big fig Groot... May wait before ordering mind...
mbtruong12 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 They just told me they're sending out a new package, however my tracking number will still be the same. Very suspicious about how the tracking number could be the same if it is an entirely different package being sent. I inquired about it and the seller seems to have too little grasp of English to understand my question. It's frustrating.
raminator Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT THIS IS GROOT Edited January 23, 2015 by raminator
Robianco Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 If that's real... and there's actually no reason to bout that it is... then that looks fantastic.
kid Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 That Groot looks amazing. Has anyone seen it for sale anywhere?
LMB10 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Oh wow. Like, seriously, WOW. I was going to shell out a lot of money on making my own Groot, but if that's coming... Damn. I love these.
Robianco Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 There's only 2 figures that overlap on the SY waves... and one of those is actually just a clone of the Lego Plastic Man rather than the 'elongated' version that SY is releasing. Daredevil is the only complete copy from the SY range. I'm waiting on my Phoenix Customs' Collector so I'll be able to pass on this one but the Electro might be interesting. No desire to pick the others up as I have the Lego versions of them.

I love these. You took the words right out of my mouth. I had planned on grabbing a bunch of TLG Groot parts + SY version of Groot + others bits and pieces to make my own Groot, but then BOOM, Decool solves all of my problems. Yes!
