    My DX9 Dragstrip from ShowZ has been at "shipping partner facility" in my zip code for a week now and still hasn't been handed over to my local USPS office for final delivery. I'm pretty sure that "shipping partner" is Pitney Bowes.

    I'm sure "shipping partner" is a portal to Hell where demons and imps rub their junk all over your packages before sending them on their way a few weeks later. I've got a few items getting the transdimensional nether-sausage treatment.

    Lol, I like the nickname. I also have NO RECOLLECTION of setting this. Anyone else seen this happen? I swear this wasn't there the last time I logged in.

    Yeah, I noticed that about a week ago when I went to check on tracking. I kinda recall back when I first registered there was a field for a nickname. But the memory blocks are a bit scattered so I'm not 100%, otherwise their guess for my Nickname is a creepily intuitive one, lol.

    Same thing happened to me. If you did a review using that name then the site started using it recently when you logged in.

    It's been a million years since I've done anything on the site. It's cool either way.

    Hopefully my preorder for Infinite Transformation's MP-36 materializes in early 2021.

    Same here. Yeah seems like Pitney Bowes is the main issue, I got 2 items from ShowZ that took less than 3 days to go from China to US and through customs. Really fast! But now it's stuck with PB for 10 days now and the most frustrating part is that it's only 10 miles away from me. Yeah I'm not going for upgraded shipping anymore. POS PB!

    Oh, Pitney is just wonderful. First, I had an order from November 17th that finally updated on December 22nd in LA. Then it shows up here in Vegas on the 24th. Yesterday, the thing got moved to Oklahoma City and is being distributed (supposedly) back here. That's just how it goes. The 'location' doesn't mean it's been sorted out from all the other stuff yet. You could just be a stop-off point. Because Pitney Bowes.

    But I'm patient; I can wait. My issue is the longer it's in transit, the more likely it is to get crunched up.

    @ShowZStore, what's the "epocket" free shipping option to Canada that's 25-35 days? is that surface shipping on a boat, and does it come with tracking?

    Hello all, this is my first day as a member after being a lurker on the boards for a while. I just thought I'd kick things off by giving props to ShowZ who've been a great retailer for well over a year now. This past year must have been hell in terms of commerce, but all of the communication and flexibility with shipping has really been amazing. Keep it up!

    Is there a way to pay for multiple preorders at one time? Usually I have to preorder one at a time

    Showzstore will your shipping methods pay the tax (VAT) for shipping to the U.K.? Or the shipping cost include the tax?

    Now everything is due tax not just items over £15.

    One of the other stores has posted this update saying the customer will have to pay the tax. C6A06E65-B179-4EEB-983C-8336438F033B.png

    But before now when the customer paid the tax, a handling fee was charged which usually cost 2x double the tax charge. So it would be better for the customer if the tax was paid on the parcel before it was shipped.

    The issue is in fact Pitney Bowes. I don't understand why ShowZ continues to use them.
    Within the last 4 months, I've ordered items from Baba and selected their free "hard times.." shipping option and all of my items arrived within 14 days once shipped, even during the pandemic. USPS did the final delivery with no involvement from Pitney Bowes. Meanwhile my DX9 Dragstrip has been stuck in my zip code with Pitney Bowes for almost 2 weeks. I like ShowZ but their shipping partner in the USA is problematic.

    I'm not sure if Show.Z has a say in who is used other than to ask that someone not be used. My last Show.Z order went via DHL prior to USPS. I thought it was a decision made by the USPS who the courier is to take it from customs to the next postal hub.

    How does one know where it goes after it arrives in the States? Does that show up in the tracking info?

    My last update from my current order (first from Showz) was Flight Departed on the 26th/27th.
