Fast delivery eventually, but website showed all products in stock when in fact none of them were and the delivery was missing an item, so I had to buy that elsewhere.

I placed an order at the end of October for 3 gunpla, one available immediately, another had just been announced as being back in stock, and the last one was on pre-order, with an estimated delivery date of November. 2 weeks later, just after the withdrawal period, the deadlines were changed, nothing was in stock, everything was postponed to December and January. I'm told to be patient, that one of the models is a very popular product and that if I cancel I lose out, and that in any case, no refund is possible because the right of withdrawal is obsolete. I have to be patient, it's a Christmas present, almost 300€ that I couldn't offer. In mid-December, the deadlines were extended again to the end of January and the end of March. I contact the company at the end of January to ask them to send me a separate shipment, which I would pay for if necessary, as soon as each model is available (I remind you that 2 of them were available in October 2024), as there has been no change in the delivery dates, but they tell me that no, they won't be available. I have no communication on my order tracking, I go on the site, the delivery dates are now for the end of July 2025. As a contractor myself with orders for equipment and supplies abroad, I still wonder about the seriousness of this company and their online stock management, in addition to significant price differences when 2 identical products are sold in their shop with sometimes 15€ difference for the same product, and an evasive customer service that wants to show you that you are not in your rights.
In the meantime, I've been robbed of 300€, a disappointed relative who doesn't understand my apology for his Christmas present and thinks I'm blatantly lying to him so as not to give him anything, and a lot of stress caused by this situation. I'm beginning to think I'll never see the color of these gunpla.

Hello Sir, We sincerely regret this incident and apologize for the situation. We would like to point out that the product MG 1/100 FREEDOM GUNDAM Ver.2.0 - Shipped within 1 week was indeed available from our supplier. However, we unfortunately took position too late to expect delivery within this timeframe. The product is now available for pre-order, with a new release date of March 28, 2025. The other two products, Gundam Gunpla MG 1/100 Providence Gundam and Gundam Gunpla NG 1/100 15 Akatsuki Gundam, were on pre-order, as clearly indicated on our website. Please note that pre-order release dates are subject to change without notice by the manufacturer. In accordance with our terms and conditions and the information on pre-orders, cancellation is possible, but will incur a cancellation fee of 25%. However, we study each case individually and are fully aware of the importance of the quality of service we wish to offer our customers. Regarding the order split request, we offer this option at no extra charge for orders like yours. We understand our customers' impatience and do our best to offer maximum service.

I actually never received the product. I received an empty envelope. I reached out a couple of different ways but didn't get any response back until I went directly to the website. When I did get through, the responses were very fast and I was refunded quickly. So poor choice of shipping packaging, and some delay in getting through but once that happened, the problem was resolved quickly.

"Available - dispatched today": These products are in stock in our logistics warehouse and can be dispatched immediately.

It looks like you can buy something on that site that is readily available but I had to wait more than 5 weeks for my stuff. That is absurd in these times. Everything was not shipped until everything was in stock. There had been plenty of other options (tassels were out of stock apparently) but no communication about it. Had I known this, I would have picked other tassels. The stuff was meant for a project over Christmas break so not amused that it wasn't delivered until February. Be-la-che-lish just like that.
