Interesting question (from my perspective) but has anyone seen Wake of the
Comet, T:WL or any of the released books out in Australia post Threats 2? I
cant find anything released after that one.. and all the shops are blaming
FanPro's shipping. I even heard the phone message between one shopkeep and
the Fanpro dude in Europe. It went something like this...(paraphrased)
Fanpro: Hello
Shopkeep: Yeah hi, I want to place an order.
F: ok what.
S: <gives order..a pretty big order actually - several crates worth at
least>
F: hold on.
S: .. waits..
F: sorry we cant fill the order. Order again in a month.
(nb: orders take at least a month minimum to arrive via frieght shipping and
they has already been waiting a month due to other 'shipping' delays)
S: why?
F: the order is too big. we are filling small orders first.
S: <mildly expletive expression of disbelief>
nb: Adam: if youre reading this, you might like to pass the word that a
number of Sydney, Australia shops are thinking of stopping handling
FanPro/Wizkids product lines because Fanpro suck so badly at service and
customer care in the region. Its the topic of the month.. err.. last few
months (as of two weeks ago) down here. No, I dont know who the shop dude
was talking to at Fanpro.
Is anyone else finding this in their part of the world?
Have any stores in Sydney got the new books?
Will the runners escape from the lone star lockup?
All this in the replies ... same time, same mailing list.
Out,
GreyWolf
