antacost Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I ordered and paid for two sets of blanks on May 31st. A couple of Fridays back, since I hadn't gotten the figures yet, I gave them a call to e what was going on. The guy that handles that wasn't in, but whoever answered the phone was quite helpful, and took my name and info and said that they would get back to me "No later than Monday." Monday came and went, and I heard nothing. I called again on Tuesday. Same guy answered the phone. Guy that handles that wasn't in. He'll call me Wednesday... Wednesday, no call. I call them. Guy that handles it is running an errand. He'll call me when he gets back... No call... Thursday, I e-mail them a nice, polite letter explaining my situation and that nobody has returned any of my three calls. I decide to give them a couple of days to get back to me before I report it as fraudulant to PayPal. I just logged into my PayPal account to start the refund process. There's a new shipping information button attached to the transaction. On Thursday, June 22nd, they finally sent notice that there would be a package coming... Still, nothing's shipped. They've just told PayPal that it's coming... I'm less than pleased with Bad Apple comics. If I don't have a package by Wednesday, I'll be calling them. I can't believe that it's taken this long for them to ship these out. I know UK members have had some issues with these guys. Has anyone in the US had any problems?

Rad Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Seems very strange Antacost. TBT's just ordered a load to be sent to the UK and received them no problem. Give em hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've ordered from them twice now and on both occasions had the minimates in 2-3 days. Something is very funky with your order, no doubt.. I'm sure if you got notice they have shipped then that's a good sign, I got that a few days before it turned up. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sorry you are going through this antacost. I've had a similar problem with cornerstorecomics, and they filled my order about 90% after constant harrassment. Hopefully like T says, they'll show up. I'll be honest with this in saying that I wasn't happy in not getting the option to pay these directly from my bank account. They only took CC and eCheck. I went ahead and paid by CC becuase for the eCheck option you have to wait a couple days for it to clear. Then in turn some sellers do not keep tabs on your order and don't ship it until you bicker about it and their ear falls off. They are some unorganized/lazy sellers out there. Not sure if you are having a problem related to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Haven't had any luck getting a refund off them yet - how are the other UK bods doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Haven't had any luck getting a refund off them yet - how are the other UK bods doing? Never paid so am safe, still they have yet to respond to my month old email.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 BTW, I know the BA people read Toybuzz @ RTM. Perhaps worth flagging this post, or your experiences up over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I got my BA order fast. No problems. Like JL, I am having issues with CornerStore. I would avoid them if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodd Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I recieved a confirmation number from the company, but the package has not been shipped as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I agree with Antacost, Badapple comics is bad news. I ordered the RC/BA minimates from their website the day they were offered to the public. I paid via Paypal and a week goes by, then 2 then 3. I e-mail them asking what the deal was. I get a response a few days later saying that shipping to Canada was going to cost a bit more and that someone should have sent me a bill for the difference. Well they didn't and this guy says that he'd take care of it within 24 hrs. A week goes by and nadda, so I e-mail them demanding my money back and that they should get their act together concerning foreign shipping or their going to lose more customers. I say to hell with Badapple Comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodd Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Did anybody else get a confirmation number from the company and are still waiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'm sorry to hear that people are having trouble with Bad Apple Comics. I actually got a forum member who lives in Orlando to pick up a couple of sets and mail them to me. I paid him through PayPal and it was fast and smooth. I haven't seen him around in awhile but monkey13 might be able to help those people out that are having difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 monkey13 is registered but he hasn't made any posts yet. The last time he was online was the 21st so it might not hurt to drop him a PM if you need help with these exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelloMate Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hey All, My first post to this board. Sorry it is a negative one. To add to this thread, I ordered this set on May 31st. The payment was made through my credit card. I waited until mid-June to inquire with Auction Wiz why my order was not received. The person responded that my payment had not yet registered with their system. After approximately a week later, I inquired again and was told my payment cleared and that they would ship it out immediately (This is June 19th). Well... it's July 6th and I still have not received it. I've sent numerous emails (this past week) to both Bad Apple Comics and Auction Wiz querying them when this was sent and what has happened. No responses. This has gotten beyond frustrating. I've already paid my charge card bill with this item on it. You would think they would have the courtesy to fulfill the transaction in a timely manner as well and/or at least keep me informed of any delays. So right now I am pretty steamed, and would advise anyone ordering from either of these businesses to exercise extreme caution. I also find it quite humorous that Bad Apple Comic's website is trying to solicit votes for the Best Comic Book Store in Orlando for 2006. Well, I guess not responding to emails and generally not caring about overall customer service means they deserve a "Best" vote. (end of sarcasm) Once again sorry for the negative post. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them. And if Bad Apple Comics or Auction Wiz is reading this: Do the right thing and fulfill the order... I held up my part of the transaction... Thanks.

Reideen1313 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Dispute the charge with your credit card company. You should have some kind of buyer's protection since you paid thru them. They'll reverse the charges and notify Bad Apple/AuctionWiz. At that point they'll either contact you to arrange some kind of amicable arrangement to get your purchase out to you OR you'll get your $$ back.
