[CAN] Archambault Buy 2 for 1

[wintersun]

I don't know, it's my first order with them.

My second order is on hold too. But my first one shipped, I have a bad feeling :/

This is what the customer service agent replied to my email:

The products “LA REVANCHE DE LA REINE ANNE” and "LA PERLE NOIRE" are at present in restocking, meaning that we did not have any more in inventory and placed an order to the supplier. We will send it to you as soon as we receive it, but it is impossible to give you a precise time for the moment. On the other hand the average times for delivery is about two to five weeks.

It seems like their prices are a bit high, like the black pearl and hogwarts express. Am I missing something? Is that just the canadian retail price?

It is just the same old, marked up Canadian prices.

Since Lego Store still have both sets in stock for order, I assumed for us that ordered we are safe to say that we will get it as soon as these guys receive their stocks.

Thanks for the info! I have a bad feeling for the Hogwarts Expresses though - I don't think they will get them back in?

Unless you are trying to buy something that is totally sold out in US and willing to pay higher price, I don't think it would make financial sense for US to buy from archambault - even at 50% off and they charge shipping to US ($17 for a medium-large set), its better for US to buy from US retailers - you will be able to easily match cdn discount price with only 25-30% off sales.

Thanks, yea, I live in Bellevue actually :) Cant beat walmarts prices this week though!

Ah, my order just got cancelled. Maybe you guys will have better luck.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the order was for a QAR and a Black Pearl. To be safe, I think I will cancel my other order for four items (if even one item is cancelled, I assume the order will become a 3 for 2 which is not worth it). The cancellation is disappointing, but not unexpected.

My order for two Black Pearls got cancelled.

[gkistemaker]

I placed 3 orders:
2x fountain and 2x Isla de la Muerta
This order has been shipped
2x The mill got cancelled
Order was cancelled because the item is not available, but it is still listed on their website
2x The London Escape
Paid for the order but it never showed up in their system and I did not receive an order conformation. I emailed them and received a response saying that this happens sometime and they will give a refund, but the person authorized to do that is on vacation.....

[beethead]

Received cancellation emails on my 4 orders.

[111ins]

three orders cancelled also :(

[harry99]

Mine is still 'on hold' (6 Forbidden Forests)... not having much hope though.

[wintersun]

My black pearl and Queen Anne are canceled :(

It's my second time this year (Sears.ca cancel my Millenium Falcon). And I'm only buying Lego for 2 months.

It start to be annoying, does it happen often when you order online? (the online inventory doesn't match the real inventory)

[loporjai2003]

3 orders cancelled, its a sign to slow down my buying. Really wanted the QAR and BP but oh well.

[dulait]

My 2 boats got cancelled too, and they suggested if I want the item I can try to reorder. Well lets hope they don't restock next week or two when the sale is over, else they will be a bunch of liars if they do.

That’s probably what will happen, just look at TRU...now they have the Pet Shop and Maersk Train in stock, conveniently after their sale ended.
