It missed that date, then it was pushed to January, it missed that date. Then it was pushed to Spring 2022. This alone is not reason to hate a company however they suddenly started selling more copies of this record despite not having fullfiled the original order first. It's obvious they ramped the order amount up thus pushing this ablum out further just to make a quick buck instead of actually meeting demands...&lt;a class="url" href="https://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/Merch-Connection-Inc-205979244"&gt; Read More &amp;#187;&lt;/a&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Kellie D. posted a review</title><link>https://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/Merch-Connection-Inc-205979244</link><description>Ordered between the buried and me bobble heads x 2, shipped to Australia (which isn't cheap) and its been over a year and a half, many excuses and promises on delivery, and still not received a thing, and they have now stopped responding to my messages.

First off, the shipping cost was high but i just sucked it up and paid for it anyways. Fast forward a month or so, two days before the release date. I get an email from them saying that the stuff "got caught up in a customs review" and would be delayed. Seriously, it's been caught up in customs, presumably for awhile now, and you wait until two days before the release date to notify people? What a joke.

In the end I took a chance since its rare to find some of the items I was shopping for and I'm glad I did, because my experience was great! Good quality merch, great selection, and good prices. I found the customer service to be excellent as well (granted, I didn't have any issues so I didn't need to contact anyone).

Three weeks later, I still had not received the item, nor a shipment notification. I emailed them to ask what was going on and they said due to the custom nature of my order, it's taking extra time (apparently they were in the process of finding a new manufacturer as well), and they were trying to be on top of sending updates to customers (after I asked them about why they're not sending updates either). So I believed them and a couple wee...&lt;a class="url" href="https://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/Merch-Connection-Inc-205979244"&gt; Read More &amp;#187;&lt;/a&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Aug 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Simon C. posted a review</title><link>https://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/Merch-Connection-Inc-205979244</link><description>I made my order on July 15, and immediately received an email saying that my order would take 2-3 days to process, and then I would receive a tracking number and my order should arrive in 3-5 days.

The support personnel apologized for the delay, and said he/she would have someone ship it out in the next 24-48 hours. After 72 hours, I still hadn't received confirmation, so I emailed again.

I immediately emailed them to let them know that there was an item missing. They emailed me back very promptly to let me know that they were out of stock on the item and had issued me a store credit (which included shipping).

SIX business days later I still had not received an email that the order had shipped or been processed or acknowledged in any way. I emailed customer service and politely complained. They did respond a few hours later and apologized and said they would personally make sure my order shipped out that day.

The first was in 2003. I ordered a size small Throwdown T-Shirt from the site. I received a confirmation email after placing my order, and my card was charged.
