Thanks Iron Wind!
« on: 08 April 2016, 19:09:18 »
Last year going into Christmas the wife & I moved to our new house.  Lots of chaos in the move and lost track of things.  I had contacted Iron Wind to report a mini had been missing on the order before we started the move but it had not gone very far in the reporting- just pictures.  One of the things had been addressed (wrong arm from the scrapyard) but a missing Toyama from the Archive Return was still missing and during the process of getting that sorted out I also asked how much it would be for a Legionnaire sprue.  The Legionnaire my mother-in-law had bought had a extra gun sprue rather than a 2nd battlefist/exhaust sprue.  IWM said they would comp it, I just wanted to combine shipping . . .

Well that was a year ago, I just figured I would pursue it when I finally placed a new order . . . that never happened.  Too many new mechs from my wife & in-laws for Christmas and my building pace has been spurty.  So since it did not look like I would not be ordering for a while I sent a message back referencing it.  They dug up the order number on their end, jumped all over it (even on the weekend!) and then I was told it would be sent off to someone.  No problem, I know they are good about things.  Never even got a e-mail saying it was shipped, just BAM!  Package was handed over from the wife tonight when I got home for dinner- very fast delivery.

Missing Toyama?  Check.  Missing battlefist/exhaust?  Check.

Kodiak II?

Way more than I expected, fast and consistent communication as always.  Thanks to Mark Y, Sue and Zach.

Now I just have to keep the Kodiak II out of my wife's hands just like the regular Kodiak.  She wants to paint it like a Care Bear.

That's Awesome! I've had the occasional mistake with my orders, but IWM has always been good about taking care of things. Heck, they are some of the best in terms of fan/customer service when it comes to manufacturers in the hobbies I enjoy.

As for that Kodiak, you should show your wife Cuddles:

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to actually do this with my own Kodiak II!

Yeah, that is the original Kodiak- its hidden since all it has right now is the primer which means its ready for her to play with if she can find it.  She has painted a Barghest to look like her dog, a Great Turtle is a Blastoise, she wants a Balius to look like a my little pony, and the Fire Falcon is some other idea.

Just wanted to second Colt on giving a big thanks to IWM for their customer support. Over the past six months or so I've placed a couple of big orders. In the first order, I was missing the arms and legs to a Cauldron Born. On my second order, there were a couple of missing mechs, plus a Valkyrie without a head. Each time I contacted them, they promptly sent out whatever was missing, no questions asked. Thanks again Iron Wind, for being so responsive!
