Club Sub 1.0 Update
- Thread starter Monkeywrench
- Start date
Ugh.
Talked to the Supervisor yesterday on the phone, but haven't heard anything back. He said he was going to be looking into it, etc. but basically repeated the same thing as the dude before. Super nice guy, but didn't give me much confidence that anything would be uncovered.
He echoed that it was strange that the package said it was "delivered" at 2pm in the afternoon on the first day of my mail hold. I'm hoping the Club can talk to him and understand that the "Delivered" status wasn't actually "Delivered (to the right address)." Likely not to happen, though, since it benefits both sides to not admit error in it.
Hey, for those of you who actually got the packages, what the fuck did the boxes look like? Karen said that my two orders were 2 boxes (essentially 2 orders) simply taped together. Were there any markings on the outside of the box that said "GI JOE COLLECTOR'S CLUB" or anything obvious to let someone know what was inside?
I'm asking because the guy said if it was a toy, it was likely stolen/kept by some dishonest person with a kid.

Hey Rex it's a small box that is just a tad bigger than the cards of the figures. It has "Fun Publications" as the sender but it also has a invoice enclosed that shows part of the Clubs logo(that any Joe fan would recognize).
I'll try to snap a photo for you soon.

Hmm, well if it just says FunPub and is more modestly packaged, I don't know why someone would want it. That doesn't scream "toy" unless someone knew who FP was, and that's not likely.
Thanks man. It's not really that obvious what it is. At least I don't think so. :-/
Gah this drives me nuts. I want my fucking sets!

yea the only thing that gives it away is that invoice which shows part of the Joe logo which most Joe collectors can spot right away. I placed it on top of the Skystriker to help you realize the scale of the box.
Yeah, the Skystriker helped with the scale. It's not that big of a box, though... So I can see how if it got misplaced, it'd easily get lost. I dunno, just still miffed about them losing it and I've exhausted my efforts on it on my end. It pisses me off that this day and age there's not some sort of tracking strip placed on packages. How expensive would that be to have some sort of cheap strip that emits a slight tracking blip for GPS tracking?
Anyways, I'll likely have Month 2's figures in-hand before I ever get my M1 figures or their replacements. I just hope I don't have to pay out my ass for them.

Have you been bugging them to keep doing whatever they need to on their end?...and will they replace them if lost?
Who, the PO or Club? I've been emailing Karen whenever I had an update on my end... I'm hoping since they haven't told me to fuck off that if the PO comes up empty-handed that they'll activate my "insurance" that I paid extra for...
From their site:
I went with the USPS shipping since the subscription service was already high and I didn't care about a rush on it enough to get expedited services via FedEx or UPS, but I did make sure to pay for the Club's internal insurance for replacement... So fingers crossed that works even if the USPS falls through (likely).
As for the PO, I talked to the Supervisor mid-morning on Friday. I figured he wouldn't be in Saturday and didn't want to pester him, but I'll call Monday morning. That should give him time to do some legwork without pissing him off. But I don't want to give him too much room or else they won't do anything.
Just heard back from the Supervisor... The driver did indeed deliver it on the 24th, despite the mail hold. So that means that someone walked away with it, apparently. 
Then I talked to Karen at the Club, and she said she's going to send me my replacement shipments. Fingers crossed that both orders arrive this time! I won't be 100% at rest until they both arrive, but glad that they were able to help me out.

Yeah, I know. I told you, if I got mine it'd be after month 2's arrived.
Any word on the figures yet, or were you talking about the rumored ship date?

Good to hear they're taking care of you, despite all your hate directed their way
And it's too bad they didn't lose your second months figures...would you've even cared at all?...lol
Haha! Those were the 1st two revealed. I bet they shipped them out 2nd on purpose. I'm pretty sure they have all the figures or most of them already.
Would it have killed them to center the card art? She looks like she's taking a dump off the left side...

Well, I still get about 30 emails, 2-3 texts, and phone calls from phishing spam every day, so that hate will still linger for quite a while, but they did win a ton of points with me over that.
The Post Office? They lost about 6 billion points.
I haven't gotten my email yet
I never got one the first time. Did you?
I actually just got an email for my M1 replacements, though. Who knows, maybe all 4 will arrive at the same time, heh.
Hopefully my wave one guys will actually arrive this time... Sounds like extras may not be left after the "sell".
WOW!...they really jacked up their prices for loose figs huh?...
"hey Brian, did you see how fast they sold out at BBTS listed at fourty bucks?!"
*clacking away on a computer*
"eeeeyup...fixing that riiiight now..."

roposetoast:
Does anybody want a Dice or Jinx from the club? Since I can order 1 of each, I will get them for you. Let me know.
I think I'm gonna take MRs extra Dice from BBTS...as much as I hate supporting them...but I'm kinda helping MR to not help BBTS earn an extra $20 by canceling his order...
I want Jinx, but not at the club's prices...someday I will trade for it perhaps...
