I haven't for Faker either. I did get an 'order processing' email a day after the 'order placed' one though. Is this the company Bogatan was disappointed with recently for slow shipping?

I feel The Fear. Lack of communication and items I ordered which were in stock now show on their site as out of stock. Oh well, I paid with Paypal so have Buyer Protection if they turn out to be a chimera. -Ralph |

I'm not going to panic yet, but they do seem to be a bit slack and uncommunicative. Quick search turns up that browny87 used them last year for some Kingdom stuff. i bought black arachnia and cheetor for £14 each and vertebreak and optimus for £7 each from geeky nerd toys. not a bad start to my kingdom collection! |

They were at a show last week. Don't forget you'd be lucky to get an email reply same day from any seller these days. www.facebook.com/Geekynerdtoys2017/ |

I have been trying to find the original post I found linked to this site in a Facebook MOTU group, but I can't find that post. I thought it was Nick Roche who was behind it, but instead it belongs to a guy with a similar name, Nick Roach.
I hope they are busy and I haven't unintentionally gave you a link to a dodgy site.

I haven't for Faker either. I did get an 'order processing' email a day after the 'order placed' one though. Is this the company Bogatan was disappointed with recently for slow shipping? No, that was the similarly named Nerd Toys Well thats pretty much all next months spending money spent 3 days before pay day. Mixed feelings about Nerd Toys so far. On the plus side creating an account got me a £5 discount code and despite not seeing anything about it on the website they offer free shipping on orders of, well I dont know because the site doesnt say but definitely over £80. On the less positive side, they say instock items should be sent the next working day. I ordered on Tuesday. I got a dispatch email on Saturday. The tracking didn't work till Monday when it said the package had been sent at around 4 pm. It was sent royal mail 24 but its not here today so Im guessing it missed last delivery yesterday if it was actually sent/collected. Right now the last update is still yesterdays sender despatching item which doesnt fill me with confidence that royal mail actually have their hands on it yet. In effect next day shipping has turned in to next week shipping. This time its not a problem, but Id now be hesitant buying from them if there was any urgency about it. Still no signs of my order. Did get a quick response to my email saying there had been local delays with royal mail but that the package had been collected by them. Royal Mail tracking disagrees, but then Ive had lots of occasions when they only updated tracking after the item arrived. So I really have no idea where it is or when it will arrive. as opposed to www.geekynerdtoys.co.uk/spring-sale-2022-66-c.asp |

However, I got a reply within 20 mins on FB Messenger to say my stuff has been boxed and shipped and is on the way which is fair enough.

I've had nothing beyond the order processing email, but I wasn't really going to worry unless I had a reason to. One negative comment about a preorder (when do they ever ship on time now?) on TFW doesn't really equate to the positivity their customers give them on Facebook. I'll try them if I've heard nothing by the weekend.

Not helpful right now, but my order from Nerd Toys did turn up. At least a week later than I expected based on what the website said, but well packaged.

Package arrived. Panic over.
Incidentally, the first RM parcel I have been asked to physically sign for since before Covid.

My Tigatron from Comics & Cocktails is at the sorting office, needs a signature. As you say, first time that's happened since Covid. Usually ends up in the bin. Maybe as of April 1st the PO have changed back to normal.

Okay. Time for the Ralph route with Geeky Nerd Toys. My order changed to 'processing' two weeks ago now, even I'm now thinking this has been forgotten or overlooked.

As with Ralph, three days later no reply to email, so I'll try the FB messenger route.

HMM.
Reply - this should already have been sent, I'll check and get back to you.
Second reply - your email to us went into our spam filter.
Did it? I sent it via the contact form on their website. If their own contact form mail is going into their spam folder, they have a problem!

I went to look at them today. Lots of products with the words "In Stock" in the name that you click on them and they're not. ****ing annoying

Well, Geeky Nerd Toys, you said you'd get back to me later today and... haven't. Neither has there been any change in the status of the order.
Oh, indeed, dear.
