    No updates on my tracking yet either. I should email them I figure.

    Agreed, if I don't see movement on tracking or appearing by Friday I will email MT and call USPS.

    $165 usd shipped I believe.

    and on a side note mine shows delivered... but I'm at work.... crossing my fingers the landlord signed for it and put it in my suite.

    signed for by someone who isn't me... better be there when I get home. :/

    I have emailed Maketoys about their cheap, less-than-acceptable packaging practices and here's their reply.

    In short, deal with it !!!! They might want to add that as a disclaimer on their webpage...

    The orders are here in us customs. I'm sure of it. If it said processed through Hong Kong air faciltiy it made it to the usa!
    Not sure Wtf Is going on though. I have something non transformer related as well that is showing no tracking update since the 16th

    I wish I could take your statement as fact....but honestly, if they were in customs, they're typically scanned in and the tracking number should have shown an update of some sorts. It's ridiculous that there's no updates as of yet and I'm honestly hoping everything is ok. I mean, like I keep saying, I ordered a MP-10U from China at the end of last month (which we all know is further away from the U.S. than Hong Kong), and that made it to me today. I was given a tracking update saying my Nemesis order left Hong Kong on the 18th.....and today....nadda, zip, zero, zilch on either USPS.com or the Hong Kong post's website.

    I have to wonder if my Nemesis isn't coming across the pacific in a canoe....and he's just slowly paddling his way across the ocean or something.

    I suppose it depends where in China seeing as Hong Kong is a city in China.

    I just got my box, and its is smashed on one side, like someone stepped on it. The apt # is also wrong, but I was standing there when the mail man dropped it off at the desk in my building.

    The toy box isn't as bad as some have showed on here but it is really unacceptable how many of these have been beaten up. I think it has something to do with these getting shipped at the start of / over Chinese new year, perhaps some angry employees still working?... I'll post pictures a little later

    Yeah, now it's a city in China (or as of what? 1997?). But still, it doesn't matter since my order was sent out about 10 days prior to me even placing an order for MP-10U. I have no choice but to patiently await its arrival.

    I'm wondering if those of you guys here who have received your orders....did some of your tracking numbers update after it got to you? I know some of you reported tracking updates, but I'm wondering if some of you just received your order without any updates?

    Less than acceptable to who? Box collectors? I can't fault them for not worrying about the boxes when the toy itself is suspended in the middle in the plastic carrier.

    Sounds like Maketoys is using some shady ass shipping company. Terrible condition of boxes, NO updates on tracking for a month.....they should just stick to sending their products to vendors instead of doing it themselves cause they obviously fucking suck at picking a reliable shipping company.

    If anything, it implies a lack of consideration on their part. Since when do online resellers ship products as they are without any form of cushioning / protection ?! It's definitely not up to industry standard, and as such, they should be called out for it. Moreover they have NO intention of changing their practices, their "take it or leave it" attitude shouldn't be glossed over. I have bought $10 items from ebay that are far better packed. Why should Maketoys store be any different?


    It's less then acceptable.

    Officially been two weeks since my package supposedly left Hong Kong with no updates in tracking since and no out-of-the-blue arrival either (mail already came today). Balls.

    I guess I can contact USPS in the next few days, but I already figure what their response will be so I'm not expecting them to be of much help. I guess I can try contacting HK Post directly. After that response from MakeToys about the damaged boxes people are getting, I don't think I'd bother emailing them about this (and since these have technically been shipped, I don't think they could be of much help either.

    Just sucks sitting here in limbo because, at least for me, this is when worst-case scenarios start entering my mind (package is lost, package is seized, package is sitting in a local post office, package was delivered to wrong place and/or sent back, etc.) when tracking isn't able to tell me otherwise.
