Re: ARH Studios Athena Gold armor NOW FOR SALE
Ave, I do realize that ARH does not have huge shipping routes. What is confusing is that you were saying that only 50% have paid so far. What does that have to do with when the pieces ship from China? Regardless of how many have paid, why would the factory not ship everything in one big batch (Athena, Ares, etc.) and then once they are stateside, ARH would ship them out to the ones that paid and hold on to the ones that haven't paid yet. Am I missing something?
Thanks for replying to our questions. I do understand that you and ARH are trying to do everything you can to get the statues to your customers as fast as possible. Looking forward to seeing these in hand next month (hopefully).
Actually people in Europe will get theirs first. You have to realize we do not do massive shipping volumes like Sideshow and we are just not that big yet.
As I mentinoed before the orders from SS and others in the USA will arrive about the same period of time. This is calculated to save time.
We do pay alot of the shipping in front, thats not the case. We have to assure they the shipping container we send to the USA is full of all ARH Studios Inc products, otherwise the shipping gets very complicated. This included Ares, Conan, Athena etc all at once.
Anyways, you see the delays Sideshow, you hear about the shipping getting pushed back all the time. Its no different here. Many of the collectors are still waiting for statues like Superman PF. Its just the nature of the shipping and some of it is not even under our control.
Its transport and travel time + customs too when they get to the USA. Now I was estimating the end of Aug. Now we are looking at mid Sept.
What is nice is that we know they are due in and just waiting to get to everyone.
