How good is Preordering Coronation Starscream from TFsource than BBTS? Can I place a preorder for Paypal?
TF Source offers free shipping on items $150 and above, so you would be saving $10 - $15 in shipping over BBTS. When you pre-order, you can use paypal as a payment method, and either choose to pay now, or pay later when the item is in stock.
So should I preorder it on TFsource now or wait until I get a confirmation at my nearby collector store before deciding if I should get it at TFSource or The other store?
I'm kinna on the fence with TFsource as I made my first order with them. I paid in full for the 2nd run of the MP-10 on Sept. 16th and it has been in stock since last week according to their website and it still hasn't shipped yet. Granted that they may be busy but I was hoping to at least get a tracking number today. The free shipping helps since I am in Hawaii so I will probably continue to do business with them. I pre-ordered a MP-11 with them and used their "order stacking" in the event I want to cancel it. But if it continues to take this long to get things out of the warehouse I would rather pay the shipping cost somewhere else. Update: received my tracking number today ((Tuesday, October 8th) I had a feeling I would get the tracking number after I typed this), excited to get my first MP-10 and hope it gets here by Friday, if not I have to wait till Monday since it is being shipped to my work place and we are closed on the weekends.
