I haven't had any dealings with them....Have you tried to contact them? What was the response?

There is other negative feedback for that seller on eBay echoing your issues. It is always good practice to check a seller's feedback before placing a bid.

"they didnt even have it to sell ".......Am I to understand correctly that you bought a model from them that they didn't even have listed on eBay? If that is correct.....why would you do that? ......or do you mean that they did not have the item in stock?

Hopefully everything works out for you.

I bought some things from them before. It took an extraordinarily long time to get the items and I never went back for anything else. It seems to me that my emails were also ignored.

Of course, I have been waiting almost 8 weeks for some Tamiya putty from Lucky Model.

I just checked and it shipped today. To be fair I had read somewhere on Armorama that there was going to be a delay (whatever that means) in getting tamiya putty in the US because of something in the ingredients being not too good for you or something. I imagine that may have suddenly created a surge in orders.

I have purchased a few items from them and never had any trouble. Have you tried to contact them? They may not even be aware of the problem unless you conttact them trough E-Bay.

Money Order? You deal with people insisting on using Money Orders? What do you expect?
