RRGGHH... Still no Arcade card from Game of Japan
« on: May 20, 2011, 10:18:36 PM »
Hit Japan is amazing... But the first thing I order from their counterpart GOJ, I haven't recieved it.  It was posted over a month ago, on the 20th of April, and I'm starting to think I'll never see it.  The stuff Hit Japan sends always gets here within a week or so.

I'm a bit put out by this.

Actually, I just thought, there is a ray of hope.  My paypal address was set to my parents house, so they may have sent it there.

I think most sellers send it to the paypal address. Also customs takes random packages for inspection which could delay delivery for some time.

well we can hope, but a month is pretty much "never going to see it".  My mom is bringing over the mail in a minute, so we'll see, but it doesn't sound like it's there.

My only hope is that it's held up in customs, but even so, While I don't know I can't go and order another in case I end up with 2.

If it's not there, I think you'd be allowed to complain by now. Might even get them to send it to you quicker.

It wasn't at my moms.  Well, I'll email them, but they could just assume that I'm some no-body trying to scam them.  While I've given Hit-Japan £100s, GOJ don't know me at all.  Hardly a valued customer.

In your email, make sure you let them know your Ebay ID.  I have dealt with them a lot, and they have never failed to come through.

There's a prety easy way to find out if a package got delivered to it's end destination, as far as I can know from my own experience. Depends on how they sent it.

True. But I don't see why an Arcade Card would be sent by sea mail. It should have just been 1st class, and it should take about a week.

I'm sure it will show. This company has never screwed me, or, as far as I know, anyone else.

I've placed about a dozen orders with them over 3 years, and I've never had a problem. If you contact them about any order problems, they will fix them. One time they forgot to include a LaValeur manual, and the next order they sent it along and were very apologetic.

Yeah, those guys are excellent. If anything, customs is having their way with the package. I've had stuff take months to arrive (not from them, specifically, but from the Orient in general) and I'm right here on the west coast. Just a stone's throw across the water!

Not from Hit Japan, but I had a small airmail package from Japan to the US that took about 3 month to arrive.  I though it was lost forever after 2 month of waiting and ended up ordering the same item again.  The 2nd order arrived in 2 weeks.  Later, I was surprised that the first order even showed up. 

Not sure why it took so long, the package was posted on the correct date but was stamped damaged....there was no apparent damage at all. 

Give it a little more time, it should show up sooner or later.

yeah, like most people here have said, just be calm. Im sure it is on it's way. I have seen this topic on ebay forums SO many times when an item doesnt arrive when expected. Than a few days (or weeks) it arrives. Don't worry, I'm sure it's on its way. Blame customs or the mail service, but Hit-Japn (reliable!!!) is probably not the one to blame. Let us know WHEN you do get it!  :D
what arcade-games are you about to play? sapphire? or...?
