TFKingdom vs Reprolabels

I read this site that compared them and the authour said the quality was the same.

http://transformersobsession.blogspo...-stickers.html

So I ordered 5-6 sheets from TF kingdom because the prices were cheaper. Although I had been using repolabels for over a year. I had lots of toys I was restoring so I was hoiping to save a few dollars.

The sheets I got let me tell you, for half the cutting of the stickers was way off in some cases. Message me if you want pics. It is ridiculous. The only plus was that TF kingdom is faster. Of course they are when there is zero quality control! They dont look at the sheets. Some were cut badly and some had staining on them. The stickers have barely any glue on the back so once its down you better not move it or it will not hold the corners down.

All in all the quality is NOT even close to repro. I know repro is expensive but they do not go cheap on anything and they QC everything.

I contacted TF kingdom twice and they never responded telling them that I was unsatisfied. Yet they can mail out products the day off when they take your money for a poor product.

I consider myself a reasonable person. However, emphatically DO NOT buy from TF Kingdom if quality is important to you. If you are on a tight budget then thats the only reason. But Id rather pay a premium for a premium product rather than cheap for a cheap product that you wont enjoy and cringe when you look at it. I paid 25 dollars and its money down the drain.

The authour of that blog must have no senses or in their pocket.

Re: TFKingdom vs Reprolabels

Also the knock on repo is they ship slowly. Thats because they take pride in their product and ensure you get your value for the product by looking at each sheet before they go in. Excellence cant be rushed appears to be true.

I am reprolabels from now on.

Agreed, I read that comparison and that definitely felt like a paid endorsement.

I've only ordered once from Repro, and never even cared about shipping time. I'm in no rush to get stickers.

Re: TFKingdom vs Reprolabels

In retrospect I think you guys are right and it was a TF kingdom sponsored thing bc the comparisons seemed to good to be true that quality was the same yet everything else was different.

Anyways I asked for a full refund and they said okay ... get this they wrote to me and said "you really didnt pay for set x because it is so cheap..normally they are 5.00 but you get it for 1.99 bc they are off centred..." Something weird like that... I was polite but i was thinking sell me crap like that and I wouldnt pay 50c for some of those sheets... literally the ramjet sheet was cut so bad that the wing stickers were the background colour of the sheet... total garbage... their is just enough glue that it sticks onto the sheet...once u take it off the sheet there is barely enough glue to put it on a TF without it peeling... DO NOT BUY TFKINGDOM

Simply put buy Repro ..... also a collector so there is pride in the workmanship as well as a collectors understanding behind the product, great people never had a problem and always willing to help or listen to conserns two thumbs up.

Re: TFKingdom vs Reprolabels

Reprolabels sell a very quality product and are very responsive if you have any problems.

Yes the cost of shipping is unfortunate but that's why I buy multiple sheets at the same time.

As for the time it takes to get the stickers, as I understand they own/run there own digital print shop and print orders as needed.
