Yup. Fingers crossed for a few extras in with the order when/if it gets to me, it'd go a fair ways towards making me less salty about the whole thing.

They probably will. I've gotten free models for later orders even when I didn't complain.

Good to know. This has been quite an ordeal, more due to the very patchy comms than the wait itself. Pretty much killed my enthusiasm for the project I ordered the models for in the first place, but I'm going to try and look at it all again with fresh eyes once this part is finally over.

No extreme timewarp shenanigans for me, but I did receive a shipping notification around midnight yesterday for my order placed during the recent sale. So they're clearly getting through them, and possibly working around the clock too...

Arrived now, all in order, and even by the usual standards some good freebies in there.

Today I got my order from December 4th. The only freebies I got this time was the usual British candy. But that's okay because it took less than a month from the dispatch email to reach me.

I guess I'm forgiving because they're a small company, I like their work, and overall they've been pretty good to me.

I really, really, want to hold this stance, but my only order has been a complete bungle. I'm hoping that eventually something shows up, I can call the chapter closed, and I can start to think of it all as an unfortunate but mostly neutral adventure rather than a deeply frustrating nightmare.

Speak of the devil. Parcel arrived later that day. It looked pretty bashed up but everything inside was fine.

A month from UK to US is pretty good, right now.

Actually, that's been the approximate time for my last few orders with them pre-pandemic, So this was "on time" rather than being affected by plague and /or Brexit. How ironic is that?

Cool. So how long was it in total between ordering and receiving?

199 days, and I had to get onto Paypal about it before anything was actually sent.

OK, that's crazy. I did have worse one time from CoolMiniOrNot (which was the last time I ordered from them); I think I waited over a year, with constant emails sent to them, before my stuff arrived.

I'm still waiting for my Iron Warriors from New Wave Gaming (Now CMoN) from early 2000s. I know they will never come, it's just fun to keep track of.

Ouch! Yeah, you win.

New year, new newsletter, high time to finally retire this thread and start 2021 afresh, with hopefully less hassle and more good news this time around.

If anyone else feels the call to run and keep a new Hasslefree thread up to date, go for it.
