My last experience with 4px was trash. 2 months ago I ordered Nebula from Sugo Toys and once it finally arrived at JFK (literally 15 minute drive from my house) it sat there after getting out of customs for 5 days. Once the package left, tracking went dark for another 3 days only to tell me the package was then in New Jersey where it sat another 3 days. Woke up one morning and the tracking had updated that the package was in Pennsylvania, then the next day even deeper into western Pennsylvania. From there the package went back to New Jersey, then finally into the fedex sorting center 20 minutes from both my home and JFK airport on Long Island.

I don't know what their process is, if the package was on a pallete that needed to be broken down somewhere in PA first or whatever it is with international shipping but any other orders that went directly to USPS/FEDEX/UPS have never done anything like that after arriving in JFK. It was super frustrating and the whole ordeal took about a month from when I received my tracking information.
 
This is where my GianToy shipment is at. No movement since Friday once it was handed over to the airlines.

4PX's job is to facilitate getting the parcel into the country, where it goes into the usual system to be collected by the assigned courier.

They've been pretty good handling the ones to the UK.

The day after arriving in the country they show as being in the hands of the courier or postal service (Yodel or Royal Mail). You can tell who it's going to be as 4PX provide the delivery tracking number along with their own from the start.

So far, by the following day the parcel's been delivered.

5-7 days total from the time the package enters the system, which is a game changer from when deliveries were taking 20, 30 or even 67 days at worst during the darkest days of the pandemic.

From my three tracking records, since they missed out some of the steps in between, there's a good chance that's in the air now and close to arrival.

Yours was leaving from a different airport: Changsha Huanghua International.
 
"Arthur's journey from being free and healthy to being sick and unchained by his own destiny. At the end he managed to break those chains. He lived how he wanted and died how he wanted. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness."

This is my goal with this figure, 2 customs :

- Chapter 2 Arthur (Left)

- Chapter 6 Arthur (Right)

And this is a project i'm gonna work on for the next months.

Anyone here wants to do the same ?

Surprises TNS hasn't shipped their stock yet. I'm hoping this week they start shipping him out.
 
On the outside maybe, but on the inside I've never 'grown up'. :lol

As a child I wondered what it would be like to be an adult.

I'm still wondering. :unsure:

Hope I never grow out of toys. :pray:

I distinctly remember swearing to myself as a kid playing with the Kenner Star Wars figures that I had that one day I would have all the coolest toys as an adult because I couldn't get them all as a child. Like many people I developed other interests and went on toy collecting hiatus for about 25 years but was eventually brought back by my nephew. Now I'm doing my best to catch up!
 
I am waiting for them too. R_R_X said a few pages back that they should be getting their stock and start shipping this week.
Ok cool I'm so hyped to get it already. Lol I just started a new playthrough of RDR2 on my PS5 so to prepare me for the figure when it gets here.

is it handled by USPS for the local delivery?
 
All three of the parcels are now with Royal Mail, and the tracking says they expect to deliver them on Wednesday because it's a 48 hour service.

Sometimes they take a flier and just deliver them in 24 hours anyway, but I'm just happy that everything's in hand.
 
Come on folks, there is a saying that a watched pot never boils. Take a break, go and do something else and your figures should arrive in due course. I need to take my own advice from time to time and know what it's like to be antsy over seemingly late parcels. Chill, as they say in other parts of the globe.....

It's coming to the boil nicely, which is what I like about 4PX. They've had a clockwork reliability so far. The uncertainty occurs more after it actually arrives, but the local mail is still coping at the moment.


I had to give up watching the one that ending up taking 67 days. I gave it up for lost, and then it suddenly came to life again after having had an extended holiday in the middle east. Throughout the dark days of the pandemic everything eventually turned up.
 
Well, looks like I have two Gunslingers on the way. I placed a second batch order almost straight away so I must have been one of the first ones, and then got an email saying there was a spare from first batch and I could have it now :yess:
 
I Hope that Lim Toys make this head also
