    Ordering from castaway

    Hi Everyone I just placed my first order with castaway , Nothing big just a Blue hero head I am thinking of using for a custom Atom. Anything I should know or expect now that I have ordered and paypal'd payment? I have seen some posts with complaints on the orders not being fulfilled , or no contact. I am sure those are very isolated , but know I am just curious on others experiences. Thanks

    I have gotten my order when stated and they are very reliable. Also their products(figures) are very well done.

          Hey! and Thanks guys... We strive to get stuff shipped out right away. It doesn't always work that way, but we try. I took a load today in the snow on my lunch hour... I do this when I can, but sometimes orders, especially foreign ones, have to wait until Saturday. The truth is I give preference to Museum Members, I do this because I can. This place supports us, and so I make sure MM member orders get out a little faster...

          I will add this small caveat in that we are just two guys, living the dream. We both have day jobs, wives, and small children, and therefore life sometimes intervenes... We always make it right though, if we mess up we 'fess up, if we goof we make up for it. We don't want to ask for any more of your patience than we need, but it's always appreciated when given!

          -Dave

              Thanks Dave I figured as much. I figured everything would be okay. I just thought I'd ask around . I looked and I think the site is amazing , I love what your doing. I try not to get wrapped up on all the he said she said about sellers or company's until I see it first hand. I look forward to ordering more in the near future. I especially have my eye on a Phantom, and if you get approval a Lone Ranger . Thanks to everyone for the input. I am sure I can get on the list of a satisfied customers very soon . Thanks everyone !

                            Ordering from CastawayToys......

                            In reference to ordering from castawaytoys, Does anyone know when their caucasian bodies will be available again, or if there's another retailer that sells them? I'm in dire need of a Bakers Dozen. I'm Hooked, I'm Hooked
