    Oh I've been emailing her several times and she's been incredibly nice trying to help me out but alas for whatever reason the package just doesn't want to get to me. Knowing my past experience with ordering occasionally their is just as much chance my package is sitting at the bottom of a pile in a US warehouse as their is of it being at the bottom of a pile in Aus customs for whatever stupid reason.

    The postage was only $3 so its possible that either service end just doesn't give a damn about delivering small packages in any kind of reasonable time. I've been to both my local post offices several times to ask and nothing.

    Just in case this is your first time ordering from them, you don't typically receive a "package" per se. It's an envelope with thin cardboard inserts protecting the sticker sheets within.

    You may want to check your mailbox instead of your front steps. I had this issue come up with my wife - I was expecting my Reprolabels and she kept telling me no packages had arrived. After a couple of days of no results, I asked to see the mail, and found it threaded between junk mail she had marked for the trash.

    I cannot express how grateful I am that Reprolabels came out with a set for Igear's van brothers. This has been long over due.

    Both are great figures but just needed that little extra detail. I love that they've included essentially 2 sets of labels that are optional in these. Also, hate that, because now I have to make a decision.

    Nabbed the Photron set too, primarily just for the con symbol for the lens and the video screen.

    Pretty much went nuts this go around and picked up some older sets like Prime Ultra Magnus, PE's Reflector (have a feeling that one is going to be hard to apply, they're so tiny), and some more con, bot, and mini-symbols.

    I really love how just adding a few stickers to otherwise great figures that have been sitting on a shelf for a time, can just re-invigorate the initial admiration for a figure.

    I do so much ordering through the mail both large and small I almost have a paranoia about checking my mailbox now, so yes if it had come through my regular mail I'd know ^_^

    But anyway if anyone cares to know April got me a refund which was awesome but she also sent my order a third time! crazy. I think she wants me to get my order more than I do haha I'll say one thing about Repro they are hardcore when it comes to customer satisfaction. lol

    Just got the Van Bros sets in yesterday.

    I highly recommend these if you have the Igear specialists. They add a considerable amount of needed personality!

    Halfway through updating the vans, lots of work on these.

    I also got all the Bruticus sets, many of which come with optional yellow spark stickers... I'm thinking of using these on the G2 version I also have. That should work right?

    A year or so ago, I had placed an order with Reprolabels, several weeks went by and I didn't receive anything. I contacted April through email and she said she'd send out a replacement order. After about another week, I received what I thought to be my replacement order. Then, about a week later I received another order.

    For whatever reason, my initial order just took its sweet time getting to me, then I received the replacement. I contacted April, thanked her for sending the replacement, let her know that the original did actually show up and then I mailed back the second order I received.

    The point is that I've had times when ordering from Reprolabels that they can get hung up in customs or where ever and can take some time to get to you. I placed an order back on the 13th and haven't received that yet, but I'm not too worried. It'll get to me.

    What country are they based out of? I too am experiencing lethargy with their shipping.

    It can be a folded paper for all that matters. The mail system they use is s l o o o o o o o o o o o o o w . . . . . .

    Seriously. I have had stuff sent from across the globe and from Canada sent quicker, be them packages, envelopes, or what-not.

    They have an option?

    Seriously, be patient. Most of the sets they offer are printed to order.
