How do you know that. Flex payers ordered day 2 or 3? I ordered the minute it went up. I chose a day, i didn't think SS was going to get at me first or last, regardless I was prepared. Its not fair to assume these things

I think that was just one hypothetical example. I think the point is that he thinks SS should be shipping first come first serve.

Umm, it was anecdotal to make the point that no matter when you flex paid you got your superman shipped before anyone that chose to pay in full, even if they had ordered it days before the flex payer did. I'll try to type slower next time.

Sorry about the delayed response.

Nice Supes Riggo! He turned out well and you got a nice edition number.
I have complete confidence RG3 will bounce back. Us Baylor Bears always fight through adversity!

I'm sure your right if you can survive the summers there you can fight through anything.

Nice pictures and Congrats on # 50.

I like your Redskins set up too. I'm a fellow fan. They are gonna miss London Fletcher this year..I'm hoping RG3 bounces back and stays healthy.

Thanks as you know it's not easy beeing a Skins fan but hopefully things are starting to change. They will miss Fletchers leadership for sure but he was slowing down. I think and hope the signing Clark can help fill that void.

You fellow Skins fans need to get this Statue. I got t and love it!

Cool looking Statue. I used to have a Redskins bar in my house and had the Danbury mint Hogs/D.Green/Jurgensen and the RFK and Fed EX stadiums. I recomend them all if you can find them.

You don't need to be rude to make a point. And if YOU didnt read what I wrote, my point was that I am a flexpayer that ordered first minute, same goes for fulltime payers that would've purchased 4th or fifth or fifteenth day. In the end its random. Majority of the time a lot of ppl are just mad that THIS time they didn't get it first because they were used to getting it first. Holy **** lmfao. I never cared I got lucky. First Batch Elite 4 Liiiiife!

I lazy to read pages but I just got a email saying this is delayed? Is this normal? I thought some already has this in hand. That's so strange if he already shipped to some people.

School must have been an absolute nightmare for you. How did you make it through math without pictures?

Blah just got a noticed form SS it could be 2 more months before I get my Superman PF.... SS seriously needs to setup a system so it's first come first serve... What really sucks is someone who might of ordered this 8 months after I did but flex paid gets theirs before I get mine... And SS didn't think this would piss people off? I swear SS needs to clean house over there, they got some really stupid people who run certain aspects of that business..

Flex pay is free financing for them makes sense why they want to encourage this behavior. Ill never flex pay for this reason, they get my nrd and that's enough free float. I don't mind waiting, I keep myoney longer and have more time to save but I understand why people are upset. Notices should have been sent out way before the first batch even shipped.

The worst for deposits are video games, they hound you like crazy for that stupid $5 deposit because that **** adds up and they use it to buy inventory without having to pay interest. Then they sell you the game at full cost not even a discount for the prepayment.

Hopefully that is not their reason, I don't flex anymore either, but it would not be fair to give preferential treatment on that basis. As others mentioned it should be 1st come 1st serve(even though I would be one of the later ones this time)

The way I see it, when you flex pay, you are making a statement to sideshow that you're investing in their product. If I ran the business, I'd probably do this with the major releases (a list characters).

I'm not flex paying any more, but it seems like an obvious business motto to me. "Invest in us, we invest in you"

If invest in them then that makes me part owner shouldn't that entitle me to a small discount off the full cost. A small return on supplying the capital for raw material, labor ext in advance of purchase. **** even if they could borrow at 5% and they gave us a 2% discount they are still ahead.

Instead of giving flex payers a small discount(I e a small return) they give "elite shipping" status as return on investment. Haha too bad they charge for the shipping

That is what the NRD is for.

I don't mean it literally. I mean it as Sideshow sees that people who flex pay more likely to actually purchase the statue, while those who pay just the NRD can cancel "save their losses" and possibly get the NRD moved.

That is what the NRD is for.

Paying for preorders is pretty standard now. Just to help ensure the company that if they "save you one" they will get some portion of the money if you cancel.

I'm not saying it's right hahaha. I'm just saying its common. First come first served is a very primal and primitive way to look at a business now a days.

 

[sarakawa]

Well then they should actually COME OUT AND SAY that flex pay is priority instead of just screwing the full pay customers who ordered day one.

 

[dan350zr]

I'm not sure WTF SS is thinking to be honest, Harley or BW (can't remember) is going out to full payers first then flex payers according to the other forum, so I have no clue to their reasoning on why they do what they do.

Seriously how hard is it to keep track of who ordered first and send them their statue.... I'm sure all orders are time stamped. You do first come first serve and people won't complain, or at least most of them wont... If you take several days to order it then you'll be one of the lasts to get it... It's the only fair way to do it...

I know whatcha were saying I only quoted you because of the "invest in them" which in a way is exactly what you are doing when you prepay

Cancelling NRD orders=win win win winning for sideshow, they get free misc revenue plus sell that same product to someone else.

Moving NRD= win for ssc because they still are guaranteed a sale of another item and will still most likely sell the item you decided not to purchase to someone else

Preorder is standard, but NRD is not. That is plenty of "investment" already in a product you have not even seen the final version of in most cases. 1st come 1st serve is not primitive, are you kidding? Only way to do it right.

Yeah. The anger is completely understandable, but even if the shipments were randomly selected. People would still be upset. First come first served is the easiest way to avoid confrontation. But it isn't necessarily the smartest for the business.

And although 99.9999% of the time! the cancel orders do end up selling. The NRD is to comfort them for the risk they're taking that the canceled order might sit on the shelves for years. (No matter how unlikely that seems. Haha

I still haven't gotten a piece from sideshow yet, but I'm gLad I'm on the forums. Because now I will expect the statue within a couple months of release, and not first batch. And I personally don't have a problem with that. Also I was just drooling over your PO list in your sig. Haha. What date did you order the cap ex waitlist?

I made the waitlist order on April 1, probably way to late. I totally thought I had already ordered it back in January but with so many preorders of other things I didn't notice it was missing in my order history
