They seem to have a reputation for being a bit slow at times BUT I've never had any issues with them, and have bought stuff from the fairly regularly.

I would say the above reply is the case. I ordered some stuff recently and it was a bit slow, but they did reply to me explaining the problem when I contacted them on Facebook Messenger. I think they sometimes suffer from stock not always meeting the demand for their products created by their ongoing 'sales' BUT I DID get my stuff and I personally think they have some very nice miniatures so I will probably order again in the future.

A couple of years ago the were awful.

Recently they have been much better and provide a good service. I've never personally had any issues.

A few months ago, last time I think?

After RPE it's probably my second favourite collection to browse. So many hidden gems (often disguised by the poor photos/paintjobs but I think they are working on that)

Ordered a lot over last year. Very slow service at times but 100% reliable. Great prices at sale times.

Very VERY slow delivery. So slow they make warlord look fast  :o

Terrible communication with customers (none existent) with no interest in complaints.

Terrible quality control.

Will never use them again. Ever.

Put in a trial order with them. The saga went on for months. Although they were very good at answering mails they could never actually supply the figures and I had to cancel the order.
