Customer services S-tier

Had two phone calls with customer services about a couple general enquiries regarding both Warhammer collections, the two agents I spoke too were super friendly and informative, one of them even helping to place an order for me, cannot fault the service I received this far, just started my Spearhead collection looking forward to the first delivery.

The kind of service you can expect

Found that the tracking number was not working with the provided link sent to me in my orders email. After messaging the customer support email, Keira messaged back within an hour to confirm that the tracking number was correct, it was simply that the link was setup to go to UPS rather USPS. After changing which website I went to, the tracking number worked like a charm. Other than that, my orders have been delivered without issue in perfect sealed condition. If this kind of service is what I can expect going forward, I'll be happy to continue my monthly subscription until I have all issues.

Everything working like clockwork

Everything working like clockwork! Packages arrive on time and just enough to keep me going until the next delivery. Can't wait to see this model completed and think about what I might build next!

Cart before the horse

Why am I being asked to review the experience before I even have the product in hand. I literally get the shipping notice today then 4 hours later I am being asked to rate my experience. How can I rate something I do not have yet. At least wait until you get a delivery confirmation before bothering me with this. Otherwise I would have given it 4 stars. It only loses 1 star because of the poor packaging. They send these in plastic bags so the magazine always come in banged up, bent, dinged, and wavey.

Hi Karl,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear that this has happened. Unfortunately the system automates the review email, so we did not intentionally ask for a review knowing you had not received the delivery yet. If you have received other deliveries in your subscription though, that would be mainly what we're asking for a review for (not for something you haven't received yet).

Your feedback is appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Hi there,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your tracking. The system can sometimes incorrectly assign a courier, so if it says it's a UPS or USPS tracking number and it doesn't work, try the other courier's tracking!

Your feedback is appreciated.

Everything about the experience & transactions is superb, *except that the shipping tracking numbers never truly exist (error, please input valid number, et cetera); so it's really just a guess when your order arrives, from the funds being charged.

Great customer service

Aaron was able to answer my question in a timely manner. The question was about a tracking number and the item arrived that day after I submitted the request. The issue was with UPS system
