friend in US finally posted my nanoblocks to me. big tree, bald eagle & lion

i have 1 extra set to let go cos kena play out big tree $35, bald eagle & lion $18 each. let me know if interested..

 

[shearerleong]

well..at least for most sets nano block dun have specific that are purpose made. Lego have lots of them so infact they can push the designs to much more detailed but they didnt.

Like the CREATOR Series for the streets of old japan ..i saw a GWC.
But meh..300 + a set.


Any idea Giza, AngKor Wat coming?

If not alot of differecnce will buy locally..lazy

:X

You might want to order from simply.nano website? There's a november pre-order ongoing now.

I saw a faint background of Ginza Pyramid in the signboard in Action City, but don't think that tells us whether the local distro will be bringing in.

 

[shearerleong]

Peepz, check out the pre-order promotion from simply.nano, ending 17-nov

Bumping this up for peepz who have missed it...

Just want to say for the cancelled orders in AmiAmi.. I think that it will be fine to cancel if you do try to phrase it a little nicer.

I did a cancellation with AmiAmi before while letting them know that I do understand their policy does not allow such, but the shipping fee wasn't making sense if all the orders are not together. They did understand and allow cancellation for that one time.

Even though they are running the business, I guess sounding slightly nicer would make dealing with them much better? I mean nowadays it's not longer customer is always right anymore since we are the one wanting the collection more desperately than them selling it..

Here's my email to them..

I ordered the above Owl thinking that I could add-on to my pre-order shipping. And while thinking that I could change it from the edit function, I realized I couldn't.

Shipping for just this item by itself is not very worth it as the shipping fee is almost half of its price, so it is possible to combine with the pre-order? Or is it possible to cancel it?

I thought that all of those I ordered will come in together this month, but seemingly I was wrong. And only after reading the FAQs, I know it's part of the policy orders of different months cannot be combined.

So please do let me know what I can do.

Thanks!

And their reply..

Hello

Thank you for ordering with AmiAmi.

Order has been canceled as requested.

1 x nanoblock NBC-059 Eagle Owl


Order cancellation is not accepted in principle at our store, however.
While we can cancel your order this time, we would ask that you try to keep cancellations to a minimum in the future.

Just my 2 cents ba. A little bit of kindness makes the world goes round..

True, companies use formal tone, so be formal with them, you may get better response. Same goes with ebay buyers/sellers.

That is art of language.

I was formal and all prior to the messages I quoted.
I suspect, there are more than 1 individuals handling the support account. Unfortunately, I got one who was hard-headed.

I did try to be nice to them in the earlier emails which I didn't bother to post up. but they remained adamant and thus I stepped up the tone.

They were not interested in accepting the explanation at all because their rationale is simply orders cannot be cancelled because they will have leftover stock. Which is bullocks anyway, because they have not ordered the stocks.

Combining shipping fees is a different matter altogether - because they will still be able to clear the stock.

You've met me before, I'm a nice person.

Halo JM. Looking to buy a mickey mouse or donald duck or winnie mouse first to try. Not sure if i will like. Any lobang where to get?

easiest place is TBS already lor.
if not go to Socializing Online Shopping - Jipaban Online Shopping Mall and type nanoblock.
Got shops set up there that sells. not sure about the stock though.

Can't blame them, you don't know who is behind the screen. It could be interns/temps who couldn't bend the rules. If you are lucky to get the contact of the manager, things might have turned for the better.

yep. might be.
It's ok, I don't wish to pursue the matter either. Was just voicing out my own experience with them and how I find it the epitome of ridicule, since I made my intentions known from the very first reply after they sent the first email to confirm my orders - in a nice and friendly way.

Not saying that we shouldn't patronise them - they are still good.
Just be careful when you guys deal with backorders.

Of course I'm not saying that you're not nice.. How can that be! Hahaha. Don't get mistaken~

Just sharing my experience as well. Maybe they got bad after that. :s I did recall you saying about the Panda previously as well.

Perhaps next time if new stuffs are out we should all MO from AmiAmi, that will make things easier since we can all share the shipping cost.

Right now I'm waiting for all my Xmas stuffs.. And am also looking for Santa/Snowman 2010, anyone has them for sales?

 

[Taengoo]

ok i guess its best to ask for expert advise.

i have 0 collection now. and may or may not be poison by nanoblocks.

so experts/collectors, recommend me a best value for $ nanoblock set. hope price is not too high kind. and of cos, where to get them.

 

[StealthEagle]

Depends on what do you like, price can range from 11bucks to hundreds.

Department stores have the basic range, independant toy stores like ToyBrickStation has more stuff which cannot be found in department stores.

Ebay is another option if you don't like going around to look for the items.

You can view the entire product line here: http://nanoblockfan.com/nanoblock/
