ANOVOS issues (ANOVOS ONLY discussion)

But why us? I knew the risks yet I ordered anyway. Me? Trek. The green captain’s wraps are almost impossible to find outside of them anymore. And I’m taking kore of a risk with someone like Kerezman and no one else has patterns. For for me, okay I thought I’d take the risk. Like I STILL DONT HAVE my STD phaser. I mean really?! Two years... and my Solo ensam I should have bought from Corellian or Magnoli. It’s TAILORED AND SCREEN ACCURATE. I guess I was thinking g about the resale value, honestly. A stor bought, licensed item has more of an actual resale value than one made by fans for fans.

Anyone else? Why did you order from them knowing what we know now? Especially with the hard part stuff, like armor and helmets?
I wasn’t in a rush for Rogue One jackets or FOTK armor, or anything Wrath of Khan from Anovos. I will make a note to myself about what a rush means from now on when an event is on the line ;)

Take Midwick Armory, Magnoli Clothiers, Hollywood Collectibles Group, Alchemy Arms, algae198, and the list goes on. Delivered when I wanted my props or costume parts, or well in advance of when I was ready to go lol (and you know who you all are by shipping well before I needed things)

Anovos is a different company now, than when it was earlier in this decade. It’s heart of darkness territory now if you click order on anything from them.
 
And the hits keep on comin’:

“Thank you for signing up for the Mandalorian helmet interest list!
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to this offering, we are contacting you directly because we would like to add you to our Confirmed List of interested customers. Below is everything you need to know to purchase this helmet and receive it as quickly as possible:

This helmet is going through the final stages of production and is the first offering out of our new stateside production facility.

We are offering this helmet in batches as units become available.

At this time, we are not offering payment plans for this product.

When The Mandalorian helmet is ready to ship, we will send an invoice to customers on our Confirmed List in the order of signup. That invoice will remain active for 48 hours only. If you do not purchase during that window, your name will be moved to the end of the list.

The helmet is priced at $649 USD, with additional shipping and handling charges to be applied at the time of purchase.
For complete transparency, it is entirely possible that we may be sold out before we are able to send you an invoice.

Please confirm your understanding by responding to this email and we will add you to our Confirmed List. By being added to the list you are in no way obligated to purchase. So please respond quickly as this highly anticipated helmet is expected to sell out completely to the Confirmed List before ever becoming available as an in-stock item. Do you have friends who are interested in purchasing this helmet? Encourage them to sign up for the interest list now so no one gets left behind.

Awaiting your reply,
ANOVOS”

WTH does this mean?! “For complete transparency, it is entirely possible that we may be sold out before we are able to send you an invoice.”

Oh boy. We’ll let’s see what happens now. Maybe the Big Mouse is on their asses since it’s the number one show in the world.

Anovos are sending out invoices for “ready to ship” mandalorian helmets. Preordered mine on BBTS so hopefully they get there’s soon too
 
I pre-purchased my 9 items that I have not received in that time period where they WERE delivering a lot of items to customers. At one point I had received 6 of their helmets and they were all great.
 
Guys... I just got word from a very nice rep at Anovos (who usually responds to my messages, even if it takes a while) that my Solo TFA jacket would be shipping within a week, then a few minutes later, this email arrived:

The rep actually told me a few weeks ago that things were about to start moving, but I figured I'd hold off reporting it here until something more solid surfaced. I was also told today that this is just the start of them filling in their backlog. It's a Festivus miracle!

I know it's been very easy to hate on them for a long time now, but if this is for real, which it certainly appears to be, and a sign of things to come, I'm genuinely happy both for them and all of use that are waiting for things.

Just checking on this. It's been 8 days since you were sent tracking...get it yet? Genuinely curious.
 
Any idea if the TFA Han Solo jackets are really shipping ?

The package stood still over the Christmas holidays and if it hadn't begun to move next week at least, I'd have started to suspect something BUT DHL contacted me today asking which service point I want it delivered to (in case I'm not at home) and the current estimate is that I'll have it on Friday the 3rd! It's also showing as "picked up" by DHL now, so it certainly feels like it's for real! (Note: I'm in Sweden, so I suspect quite a few folks in the US might get their copies first. I did upgrade to DHL express though, completely on my initiative, instead of going via USPS.) With New Year and all, I'm not going to hold my breath if it gets delayed a couple days, but I promise to let y'all know as soon as I have it in hand. Now it's just time to cross all fingers that they got the sizing (and quality) right. Their Trek Archer bomber jackets are sized perfectly for me (I wear mine often) so if they stuck to that, it's golden.

Mine is supposed to be delivered next Tuesday. I'm not concerned about sizing either, the previous jackets I had front them all fit perfectly. Let us know if you get it before we do!
 
My Han Force Awakens jacket will be delivered on Monday Jan 6th according to UPS.
I too am concerned about sizing. I measured and ordered a large but I've had inconsistent results from them with a few past items.
Oh well, fingers crossed.

Cheers

I have had many Anovos items, Luke ESB costume, Han ESB costume, Star Trek TNG top and bottoms, and they all fit me perfectly.
I had a learning curve with their blaster belts since they fit lower than a regular belt but once I had the correct sizes, again they were perfect.

What items gave you issues ?

Another item I was interested to get was the Ant Man jacket but they basically cancelled it.
 
Their sizing for Trek TOS Tunics were ALL over the place

I never had any of the TOS items. I love the TNG uniforms though. I was very interested in the Beyond survival jacket but it kept getting delayed and the price almost doubled and I never pre ordered.
