Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Huh! They look like a bunch of tricked-out Alice's.

 

i went ahead and un-skipped the qoj and she arrived about two weeks later (along with another tardigrade, thank you eaglemoss for that very eBay-able item):

the little forward antenna spike thing apparently punched through the box and broke off before it was put in the shipping box, so i can't reglue it and thus had to request a replacement. but otherwise, i'm kind of digging this ship. (btw the photo makes the paint job look a lot more 1990s trapper keeper than it really is in person.)

 

Holy crap, shipping is stupid.

So my Ent-F shipped from, according to the tracker, Meadville, PA. That’s about an hour and a half north of me. 105 miles, or 170 km.

You know where it is now? Fricking Greenwood INDIANA. A SIX-hour drive West. (379 miles, 610 km!)

 

Guessing that's the closest sorting facility.

 

I ordered something off eBay a werk or two ago, the sender's location ended up being four blocks away, my package ended up on a 600 mile-plus round trip. (I'm hoping it was mistakenly put on the wrong truck or something)

 

at least you're not in california, eagelmoss' shipping times here are egregious and getting worse. it used to be that i could expect my stuff to arrive on the 7th day of the 7-10 day delivery window, lately they've been arriving on the 11th or 12th. my last three shipments have ended up stuck in VA for days and then just appeared on my doorstep without being accounted for by tracking.

of course, this is less eaglemoss' fault than it is amazon's. one or two-day shipping is an unrealistic expectation, but i expect it nonetheless.

 

That's unfortuantely not a new thing. Years ago, I bought something on ebay from an east coast state (as in one bordering the Atlantic) and had it shipped to the state I was living on which was a few states down the coastline and it took an almost two week detour to the Rocky Mountains before getting to me according to the tracking.

 

Everything with Eaglemoss goes from Meadville, PA to Greenwood, IN no matter where you are from what I can tell. I believe Meadville is the Eaglemoss warehouse, they send everything to Pitney Bowes in Indiana & Pitney Bowes handles moving it around before it gets into the USPS system.

So all my shipments go from Meadville,PA (Eaglemoss) to Greenwood, IN (Pitney Bowes) back to York, PA (Pitney Bowes) and being sent from York to the local USPS facility in VA where I'm at.

If you search Pitney Bowes, Greenwood, IN you can find articles that talk about their fulfillment and distribution center.

 

Finally got my Enterprise F. It even gave me a code to get one in STO. I’ve already got 5 but I can always do with another.
It’s a nice look Ship but the paint scheme is rather dull. Prefer the STO version myself.

 

Enterprise F with STO livery is up for preorder on the US site.

EnterpriseF

 

Ouch! That's more expensive than usual, right? I believe I ordered the non-STO paint job one (which was actually supposed to be the Bonnie) for $24.99.

 

Eh... I'd just wait for some new sale to come along to get this one, and I doubt they'll be flying off the shelves. That's what I did with the standard paint E-F, which just arrived today. Again, with no magazine. That makes two, now, including the Bonaventure. Are they really having that hard of a time with their printer or did this one just not come with a magazine? I can't even tell anymore.

 

A friend snagged one of these at a flea market for me. I’m in the game!

 

I know. It’s on the UK one as well. I’ve got that preordered as well.

I’ve still haven’t received my latest Discovery ship, or Spacedock. Hell, I’m still waiting for my Mirror NX I ordered nearly 2 years ago.
I’m beginning to think Eaglemoss isn’t that great of a company.

 

Not coming with the magazine is odd. They should be easier to make than the ships.

 

You can return them and get a replacement. It quite common with their ships.

 

No magazines with either my Bonaventure or my Enterprise F.

Website DOES say in the description of each ship that they come with a magazine

I have emailed customer service for clarification of the magazines’ exisence and / or status.

 

I know for a fact that they do, since I have them.

 

I guess I’ll continue to wait for them then.

 

Like me with my Mirror NX.
I’m going to have to order another one at this point.
