Yeah. That's pretty bad. It has added insult by the manner in which they sold the product on a limited basis each day. If you have 54 pieces to sell one day and 34 the next, I expect that to be ready-to-ship items going out the door and not some superficial number pulled from nothing to simply invoke the purchase. Clearly marketing by it's very nature is going to do that on some level, but I think they trampled the license of good taste by fluffing that perspective of availability and sticking it on the shipping price for good measure. I'm miffed as well.

NECA "FRIDAY the 13TH" Action Figure Package: PAMELA VOORHEES with little Jason

^^agreed.
This is my first time having an issue with NECA.
I can admit I am impatient, but it seems like confusion of it being a SDCC sale created the issue.
I envision it being a 3rd party middleman who took orders and now has to get NECA to fulfill...even though it apparently was NECA who sold em?
I dunno...just seems like a cluster-you-know-what...Comment

Well, that sucks. I've never had an issue with NECA either. I had last year's Super Freddy figure by the end of the week if I remember right. Hopefully there's not a major issue with the orders."Trying is the first step towards failure." - H. J. Simpson, 1997Comment

According to what Randy's been noting via Twitter, they are only a 3 or 4 days behind the originally announced schedule. Meaning, until the team returned from SDCC, no product would be going out. I never read anything about orders being shipped during the Con… but I was only paying attention to POTA intel, perhaps you guys heard different on these products?
I'm also reading elsewhere that order status are starting to show "shipped." Good news for all!Comment

My tracking label was created back on the 17th but UPS hasnt received it to ship yet. I'm a bit disapointed as I've already found this in TRU a few times already but it was bought online for me as a gift. I just hope I get a good paint job since more than a few I saw had racoon eyes.Comment

^^^ Yeah. The days of me hunting for stuff at stores is about past me. I'm too accustom now to getting my stuff online. The store experience is pretty much reserved for my grandson these days. I think the old days of companies short stocking brick and mortar stores is no longer an enticement for me. To much work for this old man.Comment

For those of you that got your shipping notice, has anyone's package actually shipped? Like other posters, my shipping label was created on the 17th and UPS is still not in possession of the package."Trying is the first step towards failure." - H. J. Simpson, 1997Comment

I will never do this again. NECA’s eBay account is how I typically buy their stuff, or if we see it in TRU...but getting to a TRU is 50 miles away and I changed jobs this week, so hitting one is going to be far few and between now.Comment

Tracking information just updated. It left California early this morning after having a label made for it on the 17th. For $12.00 shipping, it better move relatively fast from that point until delivery. Deplore UPS. Would have much preferred USPS. I hope it arrives in one piece and not in a mangled box.Comment

^^ You think someone would have the sense enough to send something like this in a box.
There are a few darling retailers over here that would think nothing of sending items in a Jiffy bag. I've been on the end of one or two of those.Comment

Received this morning:
We are aiming to get all the orders out by the end of the week, we have been processing thousands of these SDCC orders along with our normal daily orders, because of the large volume of orders there has been a delay. Thank you for your patience.Comment
