Seems DS-service in the US is quite horrible compared with DS-service for Germany and Benelux-countries... :-\

They seem ok, very polite.  I got 17 out of 28 parts requested so could be better on having items in stock.

They were having trouble with the phones today (anybody notice?) .  I kept getting disconnected and it took a good 9 or 10 back and forth phone calls with the customer service rep to complete the order.

The US parts department is staffed, or at lest used to be, with very nice people. They have always been accommodating with me and I have had few problems with their service. The problem I have is how the German ds keeps the US ds stocked. They used to get many orders in a year but more recently they decided to only do a few big shipments which is why I think  they have such a high out-of-stock rating. Now they are less likely to sell off inventories to collectors to avoid parents not having access to the same parts one at a time. It's a tricky situation. If US collectors could just buy from German ds through the pcc we could all avoid the hassles. I am now going through playmofriends to get parts outside the US.

I think that would be the way to go for US people, after hearing this. German- and Benelux-DS are really helpfull and can order almost anything.
On large orders the shipping to the US might be a small hurdle, but hey... 8-) ;)

I would order in a heartbeat from German ds...  but I would probably need to get more organized first to get 6 months worth  ;D
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

Btw, one of the things I was trying to get were the sailors from the new/old schooner, but they are 'discontinued.'
GEEZ!!!

They're not discontinued at all.I ordered AND received 10 more today, so they're still around. ;)
