I ordered on the 9th so I will ask for that tracking number.

I ordered mine on the last day of free shipping, the 6th and I paid after I got their Paypal address. I was told it was shipped on the 11th, and, this morning, I got my T1000, on the 27th, which HTOS said I would receive between the 27th-30th.

Here are the pics of the packaging and my T1000...

The box...

Inside the box...

A little surprise, a HT Supes shopping bag with my T1000...

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

The T1000, looks brand new and unopened, little minor ding on side of box, no biggie...

And the T1000, mint in box...

So I will say, I am very happy with my purchase from the Hot toys online store. I'm gonna take the T1000 later out of box and inspect it, but as said, got an excellent deal and everything seems legit.

I hope everyone else who ordered during the free shipping will be getting their orders soon.

Congrats! The T1000 is an awesome figure. Get a TrueType body and you can actually have 2 figures from that T1000 set.

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

Ya, seriously, the T1000 is like a DX release with the extra uniform and all the extra accessories. I wish HT threw in a lot more extras with the T800 as well, oh well.

HEy kanine,can you tell me what departure date is on the EMS slip for your T-1000?CONGRATS on your purchase!^_^

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

if your item shipped out on the 12 and was sent from the start using ems, seems unlikely. EMS takes at most 5-10 days to arrive from HK to NY.

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

My order was supposed to be shipped on Jan 12th by Airmail but was actually shipped Jan 24th by EMS.
Looks like we are all getting free EMS upgraded shipping.
My parcel is exactly like Kanine's, same box, same toy hunter bag, no bubblewrap.

Happy you guys are also receiving your orders.

Can't help to think that there's something off tho...

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

I'm glad to see more and more people are getting their orders delivered now. I'm feeling a lot better now
It seems like mine just passed the custom today. (Inbound Out of Customs) Hopefully I'll get my hands on it tomorrow!!

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

Like i said i'm happy about this but none of you are bothered about those bogus tracking numbers, returned and reshipped parcels, ems upgrades...

Like I said, not to defend anyone, my original expected delivery date was today. It went back and forth, and emails back and forth..etc.
As far as I get the item in good condition in original expected delivery date, I wouldn't have much complaint.
Of course my opinion is limited to my personal experience and it can be flipped if mine comes in tomorrow with hole in the bottom with missing figure..

The creditability of shop itself so far is no better or worse than Ebay seller with 97-98% Positive feedback in my opinion. Maybe it's a union of HK Ebay seller!

The slip was signed and sent on the 12th by the seller, but the tracking number and the sticker said it was shipped on the 24th.

Same as mine...
Would be cool is David from the store explained this thing.
I mean why they told me they shipped the 12th by airmail and give me a parcel number then i receive an EMS shipped the 24th...

Hi Guys

Dave from HTOS.

Yes, free EMS upgraded shipping! Not all but nearly 70%.

We have this long Chinese New Year " Holiday " in Hong Kong!
Many suppliers and my staff are not working. Please understand the Chinese New Year celebration is huge here in Hong Kong.
Last for 15 days!

Chinese New Year slowed supply/mail down and we wanted to keep our promise of delivery date so we sent it EMS. We try our best.

Please don't worry the item will eventually arrive.

Please feel free to contact us via email if you have any questions.

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

thanks for clearing that up dave, would u also be able to speak on the incident that a few customers had their package sent back to u because of no invoice at customs?

 

[CeeemOr]

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

What i find strange is the packages being sent back cause of not having invoices.I send out alot of packages worldwide and i never include a invoice just the Customs forms and that's it.I still haven't had any packages returned to me cause of that.Huh?~_^

 

[olbertfrog]

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

And when they are reshipped by EMS they still had no invoices...

Thanks for the EMS upgrade Dave.

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

Hi Guys.

Dave, from HTOS

Not many parcels sent back to us, just few.
First we sent the item as " product/purchase " so custom request invoice.
We only mark as " GIFT " only from buyer request.


Finally we resent the item without any "extra charges".

Thank You for your interest in our products^^

Please send us an email if you have any questions
or else we need to hire a "HTOS"sideshow moderator! haha

Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?

Thanks for the EMS upgrade Dave.

No worries! Because we also want to protect our store from another " Big Hole" case!
