The thing is I have said numerous things about TFAW for shipment damages, flimsy mailers, and slow shipping. Also about Mycomicshop, another site I use as an affiliate to help keep the site running. I have a package with $875 worth of slabs lost in the mail for three weeks. I have made mention of this several times. I have even said something about Scout comics who took a month to get books out to me and called me a jerk for placing a refund request on a package that was lost in the mail. I have always had a good relationship with Scout and have tried to promote their quality books, even though I do not have any sponsorship with them in any way. I just like their stuff. So it is hard to say I have given a pass on TFAW and others when in fact I have mentioned things I dislike about them. I just have never dealt with Unknown before and my personal opinion is I wonât again. Not bashing at all, I wish them well. But saying that they canceled my order because something I had done, and then not refund the money right away, I got it this morning, and the comment about it mostly being flippers order that were canceled left me sour towards them.
Please donât feel like Iâm attacking you or anyone else. Just putting those observations out there.
Hey everyone⊠ask @Anthony my feelings about My Comic Shop? Simply put, we donât have favorites here. I will never order from MCS ever again yet we still use their affiliate links (well, Anthony does⊠)
Iâve called out TFAW with some shenanigans myself but they win me back after their surprising customer service does me right.
I am not saying you are attacking, I like transparency. I was just stepping out the difference
Isnât MCS in Austin?
No, Arlington (Between Dallas and Ft Worthless)
Fort Worthâs post office is Fort Worthless. We have a regional mail center that has had 113 cases of covid. One of my packages just passed through there. That package, when delivered, is being picked up like dog poo and staying in quarantine for a week.
Austin Books is in TX tooâŠ
why are all the âbaddiesâ in Texas?
Texas is bigâŠ
I lived in DFW area⊠we had all kinds of names for the cities in the metroplex area.
Fort Worth was Fort Worthless
Euless was Useless
There was more but I canât recall them allâŠ
And just so you know, the state of Hawaii would fit inside the state of Texas 25 times or soâŠ
I had a package from Wuhan about a month ago thatâs where the studio that makes the statues is located. It was in the mail for a couple months so wasnât too worried.
Iâm no longer worried about COVID on packages. I think most of the spread is airborne at this point. Seems like if COVID survived long periods of time outside a body on packages, hand rails, etc⊠weâd all have it by nowâŠ
It seems all these big parties and events are the main spreaders of COVID. Just like the big Motorcycle Rally in Sturgess where they said, itâs on and no masks required, theyâve already got like 70 confirmed cases linked back to that event⊠sigh!
So I watched some more of the video. It doesnât make sense that he started off saying he felt terrible about canceling orders on people and early on in the video he says he has no issues with flippers but where @Anthony pointed out in the time frame, he goes on that âitâs only the flippers ordersâ that were mostly canceled, giving me the sense like itâs only flippers who got canceled anyways, why are they crying? Seems like a double standard thing to sayâŠ
Like I said, I got what I needed in the first 5 minutes but the rest of it just adds a little more sour on top of it all⊠should have stopped after 5 minutes, the rest of the video does zero justification of what happened and now how people are reacting to the situation.
Looks like he did say he canceled the flipper orders
Great work laying it all out.
I do agree that as a whole the forums are pretty good at calling out issues with every company, not a lot of favoritism overall. Sure some people do have their favorites, but I think even those people will tell you the flaws with that company.
Told ya. I heard it. I jumped on, asked a question and then got off when I heard that. That was all I needed to hear.
My favorite is always who can get me the books the fastest and cheapest. I like selling but cannot sell if I am paying what books are going for, or have to wait until the prices drop to get books.
Of course, and we do not mind if people do. The links we give are just examples, and if people buy from them, that is great, but we want everyone to have their secret stashes, honey holes, quick shippers, or places they can get great deals.
I never lost faith in ya. Keep up the good work.
I checked with TFAW (this past Monday) on my Legends I ordered and got the following:
â Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately we havenât received any update from the distributor at this time. We are still hoping to get these in, and once they arrive they would be added to your account, and processed on your account based on your settings. I do wish I had more info for you then that, but weâll email you if there is any changes to availability as well.â
So ⊠I am in a wait and see mode with fingers crossed they get them in soon.
When I saw the links to Legends on TFAW that everyone was rushing to go pre-order after FOC was over⊠I was like⊠nope, not gonna waste my time. I knew they wouldnât get fulfilled since there was already talk about a duplicate listing, etc.
