In the same boat, mine has been sitting in NJ about 40 minutes from my home since Friday. I’ll just never order from EE again, this is embarrassingly bad.

This isn't EE's fault, it's the carriers fault, ie whoever physically has your package. I don't get why people don't understand this.

Technically it is. They couldve just handed the packages to usps and or fed ex, instead they sent it out to some other no name courier, to then send it to the post office for usps to finish delivering.

Got mine today. Solid figure even though I've yet to take the jacket off.

I get what you’re saying man, point I’m making is EE certainly has the ability to chose which carriers they offer. There are other options out there to save both the customer and seller money and still get the product to the customer in a reasonable time frame. Nearly 2 weeks from CA to NJ is a little much.

EE can choose different carriers and offer different methods through each of them, but at the end of the day it all depends on the service itself which is totally out of EE's hands. I'm with you here, it's just a super frustrating time to be shopping online for everyone right now with COVID related issues, an increase in online shopping and in the US specifically all of the human rights issues nation wide that can affect things in every day life.

Hell, I read about a post office in Colorado or Oregon (can't remember exactly) that got burnt down.

With social distancing measures in place for what I'm assuming effects all carriers, along with the backlog of packages they're dealing with, delays like this are bound to happen. Anyone who has gotten their packages earlier just got their stuff got processed faster and got lucky.

Well for me specifically my package was given to USPS and I'm sitting here two weeks later after paying for express shipping with no item. It is what it is unfortunately. I feel ripped off for paying what I paid for a speedier shipping method, but I can't even imagine how long some people will wait who paid for the cheapest method.

The only thing I’m getting is my estimated delivery date pushed back

[PVA]

Count me in the same boat. My order is Stuck downtown facility (30 mins away from me) awaiting USPS to take over since the 8th.
Yeah we CAN blame entertainment earth B/C they clearly used a cheap 3rd party shipping option which is super slow. Prob DHL?

[terraryzing]

Secondary market is running for around 60-70 plus tax & ship. Does anyone know where it may be for sale, and in stock, for lower price? Thanks.

[Medieval]

I finally received mine today. Well worth the wait. He is a little tall but that doesn't bother me.

[terraryzing]

Is this figure worth the $60-70ish many are listing it for? Fast replies would be great!

My understanding is the figure is done being sold. It briefly went up a second time on Mattel creations site but sold out in just a few minutes. Probably going to have to bite the bullet on secondary market prices before it goes up even more

Thank you for the reply...those are my thoughts exactly. Because I know if I don't get it now, I'm still gonna want it, by the time I can get it, it'll probably be 3 digits and rising. Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

[Odafin Tutuola]

Just check the tracking on the USPS app and mine should arrive tomorrow.

[mikeawesome]

Mine arrived today can't wait to get home and open it.

Maybe not a 1 to 1 comparison but look at the SDCC Slim Jim Macho Man. It's been a little over a year and it's now fetching between 125-150. So yeah it's best to buy now if you want to it.

Shipping methods aside, a lot of it is out of EEs hands. I haven’t had a regular mail delivery in almost 3 weeks, so anything handed off to USPS is just sitting somewhere.... many areas of the country, especially in urban centers are not getting mail delivered, which is bigger than a figure floating in the wind till you get it.

[zen411]

I love the warning on the back. Failure to purchase a Mr T action figure may cause lack of coolness. Mr T pities the fool that don't be cool.

Mine still says picked up by shipping partner, usps awaiting item.

8 business days later. Usps is not even in possession of my package.

I don't even know what to say anymore. There's no use in complaining anymore. I'm amazed this kind of shipping even exists. Even someone in the UK has received theirs which is great and I'm happy for them but one would think a domestic package would arrive before one that has to cross an ocean and go through customs.

Exactly. I bit the bullet on this and coughed it up. Thanks to those of you who helped!
