    Eh? :confused:  What's Pitney? o_O  Sounds like some kind of bad ailment. :lol 

    No, really though. Never heard of Pitney.

    U had it right. Its a sore lol. Its a sorting/shipping company that works with usps. Takes weeks-months for your figure to go through. Items have disappeared permanently there

    Weirdly my last order that’s not through them is taking longer. Tho according to Showz tracking, seems like it was probably held for 2 weeks in China. So we’ll see. But yeah, Pitney ain’t great.

    I used free shipping. On the tracking it says, Shipping Partner: DHL ECOMMERCE, and then was transferred to my local USPS.

    Yep. Tracking has a long gap between it leaving and going onto the ship, so seems like it was held in china.

    There is something we can not control
    It's like you have company A and company B they provide different method and different price
    We treat A as express since the average speed is faster than B and also more expensive
    but it doesn't mean A will be faster than B for all packages, sometimes it just get delayed and we can't do anything about it
    If things like this happens a lot then we will find a new company replace A.
    The fact is some time you receive something fast and you say: "OK i gonna use this method for all future orders" but you next package get delayed over a month.

    There isn't much difference between methods if the price is the same.
    Bad shipping will be eliminated soon so only the price will tell the difference, if it's more expensive then it's faster in most cases.(We ship thousands of packages each month so we have date to know which one is good in most cases)

    Some buyer says I once bought from XXX and I got the item fast, but in fact if you keep buying from them you will also see delays. There is no such thing as secret magic shipping method..


    And the pandemic affected all the shipping method especially in final delivery.

    :( 

    Shipped too many KO MP44 so shipping company decide to ship them by batches to avoid potential custom problems

    I ordered the 2.0 from him too and got the same 1.0 figure as you. I think we got screwed. These were supposed to have chrome parts and I've seen unboxings on youtube that look nothing like what you and I received from this guy.

    We are developing a new comment system
    upload_2020-9-25_15-38-7.png
    Basically we give points to buyer by likes.
    1 like = 10 points (for example)

    What should i write there to let other buyers know that their likes can give reviewer points?

    Already shipped
    Tracking will be uploaded in 24 hours

    No
    The factory changed the final paint
    They sent us 3-4 samples so we take the pics but they changed the final color after that
    But it's not the 1.0 version since we dont have any 1.0 in our warehouse

    Check the update
    APC Toys APC-001 Attack Prime Optimus Prime Repaint 2.0 Version

    I wrote a review on Nicee awhile ago over there. I hope it's still on there. :lol 

    ah yes, here it is:

    Screenshot_2.png

    I'd change some of my horrible typos I wrote but...too late now. :lol 





    I don't blame you guys entirely. No worries I def know Covid is a factor too. Anyway, I was told by a friend (1 of many) who makes vids for you guys that you use more than one warehouse, and that my Nicee's were probably shipped 1 from each Warehouse or something. I just though it was weird was all that 1 Nicee was CNE and 1 was DHL. Sorry I keep grumbling about it. Also, I had no idea at all that You guys were Aussies, I had always assumed Show-Z were China based. :lol 

    He explained a lot to me. so... I forgive you guys. I know it's not entirely in your control. It's just a little weird. was all. I'm a 1st time customer with Show-Z so I'm always a little worried when dealing with e-Tailers I've never dealt with before.

    I just really hope she doesn't disappear mysteriously and never make it to my apartment. Admittedly I don't trust these weird inferior shipping places. I barely trust the US Postal Service as a whole. :lol 

    But just like I did over on Facebook I'll sent a screenshot the moment I get my 2nd Nicee so you know she finally got here safely. :D  (if she doesn't fall behind a shelf or something or the delivery person misplace the box)

    Oh wow. It took me a double take and a "huh"? But I just realized the Irony of folks in China ordering this guy. It's all in the name: "Supreme Commander" and the fact he's got a Giant Rocket on him.:confused2

    KO MP-44 is exactly that. KO of Takara’s MP Optimus Prime 3.0

    Transform Element Op Leader is a new design, with completely unique transformation vs MP-10, MP-44, etc.

    In hand, I can’t stress enough how great this figure looks and feels. I’m mad at myself for waiting so long...

    Everything about this figure can be found here:
    Transform Element TE-01 (Optimus Prime)

    I heard back on why its this way...which is disappointing that they chose to advertise it for the blue.
