Deagostini Falcon. Anyone seen this?

Speaking of guns, as fare as I have been able to see on the 5ft model the barrels have two holes each, is that correct? I'm thinking of drilling them in.

They do indeed.

Well I finally got my confirmation of shipment email this morning, but here's what it said:

The following items have been shipped:


QtyProductUnit PriceShippingTaxSubtotal
1SW Millennium Falcon Month 1$59.99$6.99$0.00$66.98
1SW Millennium Falcon Month 1$59.99$6.99$0.00$66.98
Total:$133.96

I checked my bank account and only one charge is there. I'm wondering if I'm going to receive 2 different packages or one. I wouldn't doubt that only one is coming and this is just the start-up glitches that happen. Will call them later today and find out for sure. But here's the question... seeing as they sent it out today and I live on the East Coast, how long should I expect delivery?

I got this SAME email last night/this morning... However I called.. They claim that EVERYONE who ordered it (I guess up to a point) got this email. They said I WAS CHARGED 2x but they have refunded/or will refund the other charge. You will NOT be getting two, they said they are fully aware of the problem and that only 1 got shipped. I had previously got the 2 different emails saying I was being charged a few days apart, so this wasn't a shock. I'm pretty sure it says delivery is suppose to take 10-14 days. So it's being sent snail mail for sure. Sounds like maybe its coming via the USPS which is horrible...but i'm not sure about that..I forgot to ask them.

Now if you really did order 2....I'd check to make sure you are getting 2.

p.s. For the record... it ended up taking 10-11 days from ordering it until they shipped it..

I just got off the phone with them, so here's the abbreviated bullet points of the call-

-There was a glitch in the system for the start-up of the US subscriptions.
-This glitch was responsible for the second charge placed on everyone's cards.
-The same system with the glitch is responsible for generating the automated emails.
-All the emails we received were generated at the time of the initial order, but sent out at the appropriate time by the system.
-The system recognized the double billing as double ordering, hence the email everyone got this morning.

MOST IMPORTANT-

-The bug has been identified & fixed, & we should have none of this confusing nonsense going forward.
-Sincere apologies, thank you for your order, thanks for shopping with us,etc, etc...


Told them I would post our conversation here to let everyone know.

I'm satisfied with this answer, so I'm going to just chalk it up to what he said-Start-Up Errors, & roll with it.


Quoting myself here, for those that maybe haven't read through the thread, or just missed it on the last page. This is what happened with the double charging & multiple emails.

For all those that are worried about shipping, I got my shipped email on Friday, & UPS just delivered it.
that is a grand total of TWO business days, from when they shipped it.


I'm now, half expecting someone to complain that they said it would take 2 weeks, but it took two days, therefore, further evidence that these guys can't be trusted at their word.:lol

I think we can all agree they should have CONTACTED US and explained the problems going on with the orders. I know companies such as SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES does in fact contact you when something gets screwed up... making everyone have to call in on their own and read about it on the internet is not helping them gain good pr :)
 
Hey I'm not really worried about it... I more or less chaulked it up to first time snafus. Happens with the biggest and best companies out there. Now I'm just sitting back and waiting for my parts to arrive so and can start geeking out! Waiting is always the worst part!

So was it two issues that you received at the same time?

It was all four,

Double boxed with some bubble wrap. The parts come on four seperate blister cards, with the four magazines, the blueprint, & a fold out guide that explains what we're getting, what the model will do, & some upcoming features from the magazine that help with some customization.

BTW...I did receive an email with a letter attached from their Customer Service, with an apology, & explanation of what happened.

Good form in my book.

See... what I tell ya... nothing to worry about! Maybe they'll make it up to use by sending out little figures of Han and Chewie to make up for not getting the Han statue in the states! :)
Well I already got a Han..just have to make my 3d chewie
