Prime 1 Big Game Jungle Hunter Predator 1/4

[INFECDEAD]

I got charged final payment and shipping for this today. Ridiculous postage and tax will cost me $1400 at a guess. ****ing sucks.

How much was your postage on the shipping update email?

Also, I got charged this morning too DISPITE actually emailing them a week ago to cancel my order. So there is a big PayPal dispute going on on my end. Legit my bank is now -$3100 because I wasnt expecting to be charged and paid for other things since cancelling. Not happy at all lmao

The shipping cost has increased so normally Prime 1 would send an email giving you the options to either hold (wait for prices to lower), proceed or cancel altogether. Did you guys get this email?

 

[INFECDEAD]

Shipping was $776.00 US to Australia.
I got the email. I just decided to eat the cost.

 

[Goonsack Steve]

I got the email too.

I just decided it was cheaper to go through Sugo. $776aud from Prime 1 too. Switching allowed me to easily afford CH, Big Chap and this down the road having an extra 8 months to pay this guy off. Prime 1 had other ideas lmao. Cant afford nuthin now

Can't wait to pose it like this along with my other Predator 87 pieces. Thank you for sharing this pic i feel much better now

I have not gotten any email yet. I had assumed since this was being paid through PayPal, I expected an invoice. But this is my first time ordering direct with Prime1 so not sure what to think. Hoping I see an email before they blindly charge me for an insane amount of money [emoji38]

Shipping quotes are being adjusted by Prime 1 for the City Hunter. Seems like all the boosted up quotes was an error.

From the other site.

I got my adjusted shipping quote. Went from $1697 to $74

That's like getting it shipped from Sideshow.

They do things like that so statue forums have something to talk about.

 

[KoBE]

Yep, my CH just dropped to $88 for shipping

This is good to hear

Good luck trying that with me - I leave ZERO in my PayPal account and it's not linked to a bank account

I've already warned them they need to INVOICE me and THEN I'll pay.

Serves me right for being cocky

With the City Hunter, despite me thinking they would not be able to automatically charge my PayPal account because I do not have a bank account linked to it, they DID (even though they are supposed to be on a weeks holiday).

So, I contacted PayPal to back out the transaction - which they did. They also showed me a way to STOP automated transactions (on a vendor by vendor basis) going forward.

I also contacted PRIME1 to request a refund of the deposit on the City Hunter AND the Jungle Hunter, and to close my account.

I'm not going to do business with a company that behaves in this way.

They just lost themselves over $10k worth of business (since there were others I was going to order once in-hand pics showed up).

Honestly it's crazy they do this. Not a good way to do business at all. I haven't gotten the hit for the JH yet (which is weird because I preordered it a few days after it went up) but they have done it to me in the past. I wish Sadshow would go back to carrying all of their products again.

I had the same thing happen to me Wednesday. Charged me out of nowhere DISPITE me cancelling my order over a week prior to getting charged. Spent all day at the bank and ob the phone to Paypal as my bank account was - $3100. I however could only open a dispute. No idea how to back out of a transactions or to stop automated transactions either, never knew you could do either. So now I have legit not a cent until the dispute is over which could take upto 10 days.

But yeah, super dodgy of them to pull this. I won't be ordering direct anymore either. Between the ridiculous shipping prices and their awful customer service / etiquette, it just isnt worth it.

I hear ya Steve. I won't be ordering PRIME1 products from ANYONE - PERIOD.

Here's what I posted on the City Hunter thread regarding changing your PayPal account (click the thread link - I didn't want to copy/past everything).

. . .

BTW - I had to open a dispute too.

Just curious... Why did both of you back out of City Hunter?

Because PRIME1 took money direct out of my PayPal account without authorisation AFTER I asked them not to, AND because we had not agreed on shipping method (courier or price).

So I just went into my PayPal and Canceled my Billing Agreement with Prime 1. Is that all I have to do to avoid them from automatically charging my card/account?

That SHOULD do it - based on what the PayPal lass told me.

Fingers crossed for you (and anyone else that wants to avoid PRIME1's arrogant/dismissive attitude).

Please let us know how it goes (so everyone knows for sure).
