    awaiting fulfillment

    Hello all,

    I placed my first order on June 18 on the 8" super store for 8 type S bodies, a cape, & 2 holsters with guns. All was marked as in stock.

    Within minutes the order was acknowledged & then updated to 'awaiting fulfillment'

    And after nearly 4 weeks nothing has changed. A few days ago I sent an email that so far has been ignored.

    I've been making custom Megos for a few years, posted several, and even have two COTWs, so I thought I'd see what all the Type S hype was about.

    So far very underwhelmed as I have yet to receive a Type S body.

    At this point I want to contact PayPal & get my money back.

    Has anyone else had issues like this? Should I be more patient?

    Any & all replies will be appreciated.

    If anyone cares I submitted a claim with PayPal, and immediately received 2 email replies (both at 6:48 PM)

    First was an acknowledgement from PayPal.

    The second from 8" super store, order updated to 'full refund'.

    Again, both emails were simultaneous. Kinda weird IMO. Just saying...

      My guess is that your order hit during Mego Meet and got lost in the shuffle. Glad you got a refund once Paypal contacted Dave.

        Good point about Mego Meet, didn't consider that.

        But what I find odd is that within 60 seconds of me submitting the claim (btw first time I've ever did this) PayPal contacted Dave & then he sent a refund, again all in less than a minute?

        Yeah, probably just a coincidence, and yes my money was refunded, so its all good.

        I DO NOT want to discourage anyone from ordering from the 8" Super Store, rather you should have more confidence, being my situation was dealt with promptly & without issue.

        That said, I'll stick with Doc Mego & restrung CTVT bodies.

            There's always this alternative: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Type-S-Retro...RUb&rmvSB=true

              The PayPal thing could have have been instantaneous generated by PayPal. In other words, PayPal did not contact Dave, but just sent the refund which auto generated the email from 8inchsuperstore.com.

              Kind of odd circumstances. I placed an order right before Mego Meet, so I expected the delay, but it was shipped very soon after Mego Meet was complete. It included one Type S body and a pair of boots.

              As ODBJBG said above, give the eBay link a try for a Type S body, or order one from the Type S co-creator, ZICA toys at ZICA Toys Direct. It's $2 more, but I believe it is a newer production run, so the flesh tones might be better.
