out of stock?
« on: May 22, 2009, 19:18:49 »
hi

today when i placed an order, i had about 400$ worth of stuff,of course i wasnt going to get it all
but when she was done, she said with things in stock it would have been 562$, but since a lot was out of stock,[not discontinued], it would be 67$, does anyone know why so much stock is out, and when it will all be back in?
thanks in advance

Are you in the US?  If so, that's become commonplace now.  Apparently Playmobil doesn't like our dollars.

I've just about totally given up on US DS! Recently I placed an order for 8 part numbers with various quantities, 3 items I was told were discontinued, & when I fianlly got the order after 3 & a half weeks for the 5 part numbers they said were available, 2 of the items were out of stock, & the other three that were shipped were the wrong items! Go figure! The complete order was worthless to me  >:(.
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Which country are you in and what did you order, Seawarrior? Without that information we're a bit in the dark.

I've placed three orders in the UK in the last 6 weeks, and although there are usually a few parts unavailable, nothing that suprised me considering the age of the pieces being ordered.

I was told the last time I placed an order that a lot of stuff is out of stock until they get their next shipment of parts in the fall.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

UK DS seem to get shipments every two to three weeks, so though the two to three week between paying for your order and it arriving can be a bit frustrating, at least you get most of waht you order.
