Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Thanks Darth Cylon, that clears up all the questions I have. I will probably get all my order ship at once then, just two MPs anyways.

Considering going the HLJ route if it means saving some moolah
In stock. you'll get a payment notice 2-3 days before the Japanese release date. I like their private warehouse option too.

I guess you use paypal? I use my Amex and never have any issue. Also if you need to cancel preorder you can just go into your account and cancel it. No fuss.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Hey guys.... BBTS is finally getting their MP-17s in. My preorder says "processing" - any ideas what that actually means? How close is it to being ready to ship?

First time with a preorder on BBTS ... so .... yeah...

^Processing payment. After that it will move to the warehouse for packing. Could be anywhere from 24 hours to a few days depending on the speed of your payment clearance (Paypal may take longer) and how busy their staff is.

Yeah, Paypal. But they say they require payment within 8 days after it arrives in stock or the order will be cancelled. BBTS gives you 2 weeks, I think.

HLJ's terms said they want to avoid cancelled preorders and if you cancel too many they may close your account: "Preorder cancellation policy: While we accept customers' cancellations of all or part of their order at any time prior to payment processing (this can be done in My Account), we ask that you keep cancellations to a minimum by avoiding heat-of-the-moment orders and making sure that you really want something before you click the Add to Cart button. Overstocks due to customer cancellations affect our ability to offer great prices, so this is in everybody's interest! We reserve the right to limit or close the accounts of customers who abuse the cancellation policy, or abandon shippable orders without submitting payment. "

But maybe they just say that to deter unnecessary cancellations and in practice they are more forgiving.

That means they have received stock for your item and are now processing the order and payment. Once they have done so, it will either drop into your Pile of Loot or will be packaged up and shipped (if your PoL is not turned on).

I think they are just stating the obvious. If it's a hot pre-order item, any spot vacated by cancellation will be quickly filled up by others.

Yay! Ready to ship! Now do I be patient and wait for the item that's supposed to arrive later this month (Dr Wu Rain Storm) or just tell it to ship? Hmmmm

Is there another sale? How much off and which items? There's no front page news for a current sale.

I also strongly recommend the Senna film/documentary.
Okay, now that I see them side by side, Hemsworth's hair is a bit off. Maybe no so spot on as I first thought. I'll have to check out the Senna film sometime. I can still remember seeing his crash live on T.V. It was so tragic. He had so much more racing in him.

As for HLJ and their cancellation policy, I find that they are forgiving and I have never had any trouble when I have cancelled an item or two. Having said that though I still try to keep it to a minimum out of respect as every pre-order I place is a contract and intent to buy with them.
