    CNY shipping is always a pickle... I usually wait until weeks after the holiday.

    Has anyone had their preorder set to recieved for something that hasn't even released yet? I put a preorder down for Lupus almost a year ago and had the status changed.

    Asked about delays. Apparently they're waiting on a shipment from newage(ordered sg megs and op, they sent out megs before cny).
    Since that op was next to impossible to find, I'm willing to be patient.

    Also was under the impression that CNY ended already. Apparently 'technically' THIS week, so realistically people are only going back to work now- and probably walking into a mess.

    Only comparison as a working schmuck american is when people take the week up to xmas through Jan 2nd off. I worked a lot in fullfilment/shipping and the week after older drivers come off break is nuts trying to catch up(especially with certain company I worked for over promising turn over times.)

    Learning a lot today.

    Since NA is taking their sweet time with the next combiner I decided to try something:

    Standard Mini Superitron and G1 Superion Reprolabels and see if I can convert them.
    Both already shipped, with one by BBB.

    Looking forward to it. Pics in here once it arrived.

    Usually for these they'll provide you a link with a [Balance Only] option when it's released. The "received" is basically pre-order received. At least that what happened to me.

    I put in an order for 3 in-stock items and a pre-order down payment. Was I dumb for mixing them in one order as the in-stock stuff won't ship until the pre-order item comes in and is paid off?

    I don’t think that’s true, as I’m still waiting on my own order, that’s waiting on a Newage preorder (Artfire Targetmaster), but the MS Gears/Windcharger part of the order have been in stock for a while.

    Although, for Christmas I ordered Ironhide & NA Jetfire (Robotech color, which was a Preorder till January), but in a separate order got NA Nightbird.

    When they shipped Nightbird, they included Ironhide, and sent Jetfire by himself. So if you put an order for an in stock item, it might get your Terrorsaur shipped

    I wasn't sure how Bombusbee work with multiple items as I've only ordered one thing at a time from them before. I usually use ShowZ and they ship each thing separately.

    How long do you guys usually have to wait for replacement parts or updates on them?

    Is there a way on the site to hide finished orders like the archive option on ShowZ? I like how it cleans up

    I purchased my Newage Ymir on February 14th and it's still awaiting shipping. Is this normal? It's starting to worry me. Is it because of CNY? I heard something about Newage a few pages back on this thread, something about Bombusbee awaiting a shipment from Newage? Can someone tell me if something has gone wrong? or is this just normal?

    I'd say it's been normal since the 11/11 sale. Prior to then, average time to ship for in stock items seemed to be 3-6 days, with the occasional order slipping to 7-10 days. Nowadays the average time seems to be 7-14 days.

    If they're waiting on a shipment as you mentioned, I wouldn't worry. BBB is very good, you'll get ur items.

    I sent my request on the 1st, still haven't gotten the part yet but I think it might be due to CNY, I think I got my first update a little over a week after placing the order
