So I just got my HT Joker hot out of the UPS dudes hands and popped it open and this cats left arm is backwards. Anyone know how to fix this minor issue? :rotfl
 
just called USPS and they said since the item was mailed Priority mail it isn't trackable unless when you first drop it off at the post office it gets scanned, normally priority mail isn't scanned unless the seller asked, 9 times outta 10 if it's scanned the first time at the post office it will continue to be scanned as a "courtesy" even though it's not suppossed to be, I guess this time it never got scanned so theres no way to find out exactly where it is .

The operator said they usually take about 6 to 10 ( buisness days) I'm guessing for it to reach Canadain borders and then they have no control over how long it takes for it to process there.

So since it's the 12th business day today, maybe it will arrive next week. I gotta tell ya, I'm getting really impatient over here!!!
 
Here is a pic of the issue at hand.

What do you do when the tracking says awaiting custom charges? I'm just curious because I'm about to order Two-Face from Hong Kong and I want to know what to do if that happens.
 
Well it depends. Because what I found being a new buyer for getting stuff from Hong Kong I got away with two figs that cleared customs. One in August, another November. One from America in September that got caught with it being from America. They'll never slip by.

Saying that it might have not even been related to that, or it's just with the changes to the economy because I got caught with customs with the Bank Robber in December.

Or it might not be even related to either. It may just be the fact because one figure is coming in once a month.

The process goes, it gets marked up as waiting custom charges, it usually takes a day for it to clear. Then it'll say released with charges. It'll then go to one of the hubs, and stop. With me being in the UK, Parcelforce usually sends out a letter a day later to pay the charges before they'll deliver.

The Bank Robber came to £19 last time.

This time I'm going to try and speed up the process by doing it online, https://www.pfwcustomercontact.co.uk/aps/public/index.aspx as last time it was done over the phone.
 
Ok thanks, Vodoun. I hope I don't have to deal with customs. This is the first figure I've got from Hong Kong. I've bought a Nurse Joker kit and a True-Type from HK before but I wasn't charged with customs.
 
still waiting on my two-face figure it still says it coming to america since the 20th can't figure that one out

ok got him today

Well I ordered the OC Batman today, so I can complete the collection. I'll have to wait until June for Two-Face, but it is worth it if it means completing the line. Still waiting on my DK Bats to ship to me though. :monkey4
 
Well I just sent off an email to the guy I bought both Jokers off of through Ebay and I told him nothing has arrived yet and he emailed me back saying if nothing arrives by tonight he will send out replacements tomorrow.

He apparently mailed them on January 8th but nothing has shown up, he did mention however if they do arrive while the others are in transit I just have to send them back.

I guess I just do a "return to sender" in this case?
 
replacements are being sent tomorrow, hopefully these make it to me this time and the tracking # works!!!
