Absolutely agree with this. It’s frustrating but without that issue happening it really is a great figure.

I want to enjoy it more but I’m now waiting for a replacement chest.

 

Mine has been "Shipment transiting to next station" since Sunday. Basically from JFK to USPS. Getting a really bad feeling about this. I have had 17 packages lost by the USPS this year so far. Fifteen of which were shipped from the East Coast.

 

Mine arrived today intact and not melted. Everything is nice and tight too.

Very expressive figure, can't wait to take some pics with Flame Toys Tarn, which is sadly out of reach while we have our attic converted...

Yeah, mine's been in same situation since Sunday too.

 

Not really. Chinese retailers ship by air.

 

Seems like there's a bad batch out there.

 

I appreciate it, but between this and MMC’s Star Convoy there have been a few misses QCwise. And I am a huge fan of MMC, but I don’t mind minor fixes for toys and ultimately thank you for the heads up.

 

Mine’s been in the same position. It was marked as having cleared customs Saturday, and then on Monday night it was marked as “Transitioning to the next station” from JFK. UPS is still waiting for the package according to their tracking, so I’m just hoping it’ll show up where I live (east coast) before the end of the week, or I’ll get a tracking update.

 

Mine just got an update at UPS, departed NJ this morning. So it's moving. (no new updates at 17/SF trackers for the last two moves, they still report JFK, USPS is only aware of the one before this latest one). Check everywhere...

 

UPS seems to be the most up to date for me atm. Should have her in hand by Saturday!

 

17track / SFexpress /Myparcel all show my shipment last updated 6/10 ‘left country of origin’. Almost a whole week of no updates, and that’s after the previous week of looping around Dongguan countless times.

Im not worried yet, but it stinks that this is what $16 shipping to the US gets.

 

I shipped something to China using USPS First Class International a couple of months ago for 25 bucks, took around 5 weeks to arrive? You do realize that airlines aren't actually running normally right? In the past, a package can be thrown into a departing flight easily, like there were probably tens or hundreds of flights between China and the US every day. Nowadays, it's a bit different ...

 

Yeah, guess I’m just a bit spoiled given how speedy others like Robotoybase, TerrysTFC & (9 times out of 10) ShowZ have been for me lately.

 

Weird, for me ShowZ has always been SLOW.

 

Last order I placed with ShowZ was during that PayPal sale like 3 weeks ago.
Paid $6 shipping on KFC Kingzilla, & $4 on KO Hound.
Both got to me in less than 2 weeks here in the US.

 

Whoo HOO!!!!!! She used a ground bridge from NY to my local post office annex and is set for delivery tomorrow. Went from the customs void to local with zero tracking updates (4 days with zero updates). Still leery of the USPS. The only tracking working/current is the USPS tracking at this point for me.

 

Got the same response here.
My copy is now without a chest as I had to remove the pins in order to not have further damage.

So she’s slightly naked at the moment..
