Mnemosis Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 And, bear in mind... "customer service" is there to appease you, not to fix anything on an operational side. The only way this gets better is if the people running it understand they're losing potential sales/customers. But for the life of me, I don't know how to make that happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Nothing in Kennesaw GA or Alpharetta yet. I work across from a TRU so I can keep you guys posted, but Alpharetta is usually one of the last to get things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 No sign of them offline though, right? I hate tru's shipping I don't know where their web fulfillment operations are based, but I presume it is at or near a distribution center. Nothing unusual about then having inventory before an actual store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBohn Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Ordered the 3 sets, plus the Valiant mates from TRU Tuesday. Valiant mates shipped yesterday. Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver shipped today. Update! Cap & Thor shipped today also. Black Widow Iron Man is located in stock and... shipped! Will I get four separate packages? YES! Online stores are so odd with their shipping. I had a Hasbro Toyshop order (using a free shipping code), 1 item shipped out regular, then the preorder item shipped the other day, FEDEX overnight? WHY? Edited April 3, 2015 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnemosis Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Except that a LOT of their orders are farmed out to the stores Twice a day, every day, each store receives a list of orders to fill. this can explain why an order might be broken up; a few pieces may come from one store, others from another, and some from a fulfillment center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have never personally had a TRU.com order ship from anywhere other than the Groveport, OH location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 new product is more likely to originated from the fulfillment center. I think they use the stores as a means of clearing out stagnating inventory. if you order a video game that my store has been sitting on 20 copies of, it's the perfect chance for them to get it out of our store while satisfying your purchase. newer product that has just released however probably isn't even in the Store when you are ordering in from the fulfillment center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I've placed 6(SIX!!!) different TRU.com orders this past week thanks to nothing being in stock at the same time. The Walking Dead Minimates shipped from Lee's Summit, MO. The Pacific Rim figure I ordered shipped from Gardena, CA and the AoU Minimates shipped from Groveport, OH.
