Sets are all going back and Amazon gets to pay shipping twice. What a brilliant business strategy...
Still happens sometimes, but I suspect most people just keep the crushed boxes, rather than returning them, since they open the boxes and throw them away most of the time.
You would think if Lego was being returned at a large rate, Amazon would change their shipping systems.
Or maybe not. :)
A few weeks ago I mentioned it to the manager at the local Lego store and he said if he had any he'd let me swap it as long as my box was good enough to be sell-able. I assured him it was. So he said to call before my next visit to see if he'd received any. Well I called this past Saturday and was told--not by the same person--that they would not be receiving any more IS's.
However, I see they are still available on [email protected]
I'll probably call up LEGO customer service to see what they say, but I'm not sure the box condition warrants making a big fuss (an in-store swap really was ideal). At this point I'm not sure if I will be opening it someday (I have no idea where to put the constructed model given it's size, from what I've read) or trading/reselling it when and if I venture into those waters.
Any suggestions? How little damage is enough to justify the shipping exchange?
It is showing items that you list for sale as postage free and ignoring listed postal charges.
Well I want (need) a couple of exclusives from TRU the dynamic duo and escape from the barrels. I thought that maybe with the 25 off $100 would be good time to get them only to be annoyed the price was inflated so with both the total was $99.98. So I would still have to add something only to get them for about what I couldon [email protected] Are there any real sells on these or should I just get em from [email protected]? Also what about places like target etc?
Thanks
Not all items are marked up above RRP and on occasion they have some items discounted below RRP and they are available to be used with current offers.
You just need to be wise with what deals you take up an do your research when talking about TRU.
The only exception is the 9515 Malevolence .. That took a bit of a hit on the top side but it was obvious it was due to the multiple carrier transfers as the outer box showed the same. But nothing serious at all.
Also if one places enough orders round the year, the Prime membership is a worthy investment. Deliveries are super quick .
Amazon, Argos, Gumtree, Ebay, and Tescos.
I've never had bad packaging with Amazon, [email protected] I remember ordering Space Skulls, and a few other smaller sets, the outer box was damaged but inside was fine
I hope it goes better the 2nd time around.
If you add a single small in stock item, they will ship the promo with that item and then ship the large item when it comes back in stock. Or at least that's how my last order worked.
