    Castaway update (money back guarantee on order shipments)

    First off we wanted to thank everyone for their support with ordering from us and your support on the board. Success has been a hard pill for us to swallow and we learned some hard lessons along the way. Dave has worked his butt off to get all the orders shipped out in a timely manner and it's become too much to keep up with.

    As I said in an earlier post we have contracted with a 3rd party to handle our shipping, starting with orders placed today (Dec 1st 2009) We have come to an agreement with them that all orders will be shipped within 1 week of the order being placed. In addition the customer will be sent an email with the delivery confirmation number in it to prove the order was shipped within the 7 day time period. All foreign orders will be shipped thru the US post office and a scan of the receipt will be sent to the customer to prove shipping (if this proves to be problematic we'll have to switch to a different shipping service with tracking, which will be more expensive for the customer) Any orders not shipped within this 7 day time frame the customer will receive their money back (no questions asked) and their order shipped free of charge.

    This guarantee is that the orders will ship within the 7 day period, not that the customers will recieve their items in 7 days.

    We don't expect blind support or praise from anybody. We want to earn each customer 1 at a time. Put our new guarantee to the test. If you're happy with the service please post about it. If you're not happy please post about it. There may be a few customers waiting on outstanding items placed in the past,please email me at gaga4toyz@sbcglobal.net and I will make sure your items get shipped out asap.

    This is great news and definitely the way customers like to see a company run. Good luck Castaway. :-)

            This is really great news. I have been really impressed by how you guys have responded to all of the feedback from the community and committed to making things better.

            Can you clarify how this policy will apply to things like pre-orders, or other situations where people order something but you don't have the product already on hand?

                      That's what I call commitment. You guys had a problem and rose up to the challenge to fix it

                          Huh? You did read Jason's post, right?

                            Just kidding Thomas. It just didn't seem natural that there would be a Castaway thread without the reference. (And you do know that Jason Heimerdingermeir is just an alias that David Lee uses, right? )

                              Aha, so Dave Lee has a split personality? That explains a lot

                              Just kidding guys
