I worked with the owner for a year bugging him non-stop until he pulled strings to be able to get BB materials. I ordered all the prizes for the Memorial Mayhem and 1/2 the prizes for the GenCon Bowl through Chaosmailorder all at 20%.

you could always have a look at here. the people running it are friendly and should get back to you quite quickly as well

they are stocking some of the manufacturers we've talked about earlier and may have some more ideas about payment details.

Just to give my 2 cents:

I ordered from GW-US before. It was an OK service...I ordered a Norse team (in 1999), one Bltzer was missing, but I had 3 catchers.....I complained and they send me the missing Blitzer...I found their quick response very good. In 2003 when I went to Chaos Cup the ticket took forever to get to me, just barely made it in time. Called in about 3 times and they told me it was shipped Express

....For BB43 I ordered through GW-UK...got the ticket and the BBmag shortly after I ordered.

I ordered from Shadowforge...great figs...when I told them that I will use the figs as tournament prices they gave me a 10% discount

The shipment was very quick considering it came all the way from Australia to Germany.

I ordered through ChaosMailOrder....now THAT is a great experience! 10 or 20% dicount on GW/BB stuff and very quick shipment.

The last miniatures I ordered were from Hasslefree....great figs, great service...Since I mostly ordered "pre-order" figs the shipment was not immediate, but whenever the new figs were done, so I still consider this as quick shipment.

Overall I had only great experience with the people/companies I dealt with

Update on my three orders.

-Heresy online order Oct. 28. Arrived Nov. 8.

-Cool Mini or Not online order Oct. 28. Hasn't arrived.

-Games Workshop bits order through local store Oct. 30. Arrived today (Nov. 12).

So... Heresy wins, which was expected. GW comes through in decent time. And Cool Mini Or Not has charged my credit card, but no minis yet.

Anyone else order from them before?

I've ordered from CoolMiniOrNot once before, about half a dozen figures plus some supplies all together. My order arrived in about a week, everything included, so I have no complaints about them. I've also gone through Neil at the WarStore several times, and have always has outstanding experiences dealing with him.

I tried it once, but the shipping to Canada made it too expensive, but probably a good deal for those in the US.

Update to my update.

Picked up the GW order from the store today. Of the four minis I ordered, I got only two I wanted.

One is "out of print." The other was supposed to be the new Jordell Freshbreeze. They sent me the old one.

Blech.

The Cool Mini or Not order has arrived.

One week later than Heresy, but still in good time. And a full, accurate order, unlike the one I got from Games Workshop.

Heresy wins, CMON places second, and GW pulls up the rear.
