Issues with Black Tree Design - ongoing

[Atheling]

Is it still the 2005 Christmas sale they never bothered to close?

 

[JamesValentine]

Because they have some great mini's at an excellent price.

Judging by what I had from them the one time I made the error of ordering.
No...not great minis at all

It's a shame, I really want some of the Ancient Germanics. I have some Foundry ones which are great, but am put off by the high price of getting more and the BTD ones look like they'd fit in well style and scale-wise.

I don't know if this is any use to you but Foundry do have a Christmas sale on.

The you've ordered the wrong models... 
Their Anglo Saxons, their Lotr stuff, their Zombies, Kev's Orcs/Gobs/Dwarfs, the Kev White stuff, my recently received War Mammoth. Great sculpts, good casting quality.
But reading your comments over the boards I wonder if there's anything in this hobby you actually do like?

I don't care if they have the greatest figures in the world and sell them for a penny.
If they don't deliver and you can't get the figures then what is the point?

You may get the figures...or some figures. It's a game of chance.

Oh, BTD being still being shite after all this years? What a surprise... i had a horrendously bad service from them last time i ordered and I never bothered again.

I wonder if, like the National Lottery, a portion of the cash generated goes to arts funding or is there another meaning to the Set for Life ticket?

"Why do people even order from them?"

Well, in my case, it's because they ranges that I'm finding it hard to get elsewhere -- 28mm ratmen, for example: modern GW skaven don't match my army stylistically and older ones on Ebay are getting silly expensive. Although I have hopes for Ral Partha's new range and have backed the KS. Certainly I like the ratties they currently do.

"How do they stay in business?"

Well. They have the MONEY, right...

OK, so I decided to place another order after getting a previous order in days (rather than the normal weeks/months) at the end of Nov 2019.  Here we are today (mid Jan) and nothing.  I have sent 10+ emails to no affect.

Is there a reason I put myself through this?  Sadly, these miniatures were for a game I was planning to put on at a convention in March. Guessing I'm not getting them for that:-(

If you used Paypal, lodge a dispute. You're not going to see anything for a while, and even if you do, in all likelihood, the order will be messed up. Buy from a reputable company instead.

My last Black Friday order I placed (2018), arrived at the end of August 2019.

You’ll get them, it just takes a while.

When mine showed up, the order was messed up, and more than a year later, I am still waiting for it to be corrected. Good luck.

Or not, as the case may be....
