HelloMate Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks Reideen1313. I appreciate the suggestion. I'm probably going to wait until Saturday to see if the package ever arrives. I've waited this long already. If it doesn't, then I'll heed your advice and get in contact with my credit card company. I'm pretty doubtful Bad Apple Comics or Auction Wiz will contact me to try to work out that arrangement. If they can't answer a simple email now regarding my order status, I'd be surprise if they would go out of their way to make this transaction right. This is just my feeling on this. It's kinda sad that neither business understands the meaning of good customer service (because it usually results in more business). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelloMate Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks for the kind words TBT. I'll definitely stick around and post some positive stuff next time. Maybe we'll have some good news next week about those possible early DC Minimates. OMACs and Wonder Woman... oh my! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hey hellomate. If you do have to go into dispute via your charge card you might want to point this thread out. You're not alone (unfortunately) It's bizarre that some people are getting these inside of a week and others have been waiting over a month. There's just no sense to it. Have you tried calling Bad Apple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 And this is why companies shouldnt outsource the selling of their items, especially to morons like Auction Wiz... Whats the betting the people at BA are sitting there thinking "These aint selling well, last time we do exclusive minimates" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I might suggest that extreme patience is required here. I wouldn't think Bad Apple is intentionally screwing people; I suspect they are just your typical disorganized neighborhood comic store. When my Orlando-based buddy went in to pick some up for me in person, right after monkey13 posted his pics, the guy at the counter didn't even know what my friend was talking about. There weren't any BA mates out front, the clerk had to go in the back to find them. huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I think they have been caught out by the popularity rather than any intentional shenanighans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloMate Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks for the input Rad, AdyCarter, Cappy and Danny. I agree with AdyCarter that Auction Wiz should not be handling the fulfillment of these orders. If anything, they are making Bad Apple look reeeallly bad (pun intended). BAC should find some other reliable means of fulfilling these orders. Also, they (both Auction Wiz and BAC) should try to make a better effort to answer email and phone questions promptly. Being kept informed can do wonders. My guess is this is not intentional as well. But the way they are dragging their feet on correcting it is not acceptable. I think I've been pretty patient with them. I also would be a bit more understanding is this was an isolated incident (which it isn't). I'll let you know how it goes... Evening Update: Well, it looks like the President of BAC has contacted me regarding this (although not a peep from Auction Wiz). He isn't quite sure what happened, and is going to resend the order out. He also apologized for the delay. Hmmm... a pretty quick response after I posted this, coincidence or the POWER of this Minimate Multiverse forum. I'll let you know if I get the resend. Thanks again for all of your comments and thanks to the BAC President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hmmm... a pretty quick response after I posted this, coincidence or the POWER of this Minimate Multiverse forum. Never under estimate the power of the Dark Forum. Glad things are working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 It's great that BAC got back to you. I hope they're doing the same with all the other p****d off customers out there? (ady, do we have a policy on swearing?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Glad to see things are moving HM. And Rad, "justified" swearing to make a point is OK. Over the top, abusive swearing is not. Yours fits into the first category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Cheers for clearing that up Danny. So we don't have a swearing filter I can try and break like I did over at the old MMC forums then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Cheers for clearing that up Danny. So we don't have a swearing filter I can try and break like I did over at the old MMC forums then? We do, it just doesnt filter anything, although filtering Andy to Ady is tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 What about the sets floating around ebay? Would those be easier and safer to buy then directly from the store? Or would that cause the same problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viciousvink Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I've had a horrible time with bad apple. I live an hour and a half away from the store, called them, they told me to come by, and I got there 5 minutes before they closed, the door was locked and everyone was inside, said they were closed and wouldn't open the door. They suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
