I have had two orders from Redoubt since the lockdown began.  The last one came in only two days. I think his early problems fulfilling mail orders are all over now, we can order with confidence. 
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Have you tried texting or phoning the number on the website, Painter Jim?

I have only corresponded with the email address that I obtained with the purchase receipt.
I will try a text.

I'll be curious as to your experience, as I'd certainly text if not for the international texting issues.

Interesting.  So some get the orders in 2 days, others not in 4 months?  And the comment about not responding to emails, that doesn't seem good.  With that lack of consistency in order times and fulfillment, guess ordering from over seas isn't a wise thing to do, since phone and texting for follow up communication isn't possible from this end.

It has certainly made me hesitant, but I will say that this is the first issue I have had personally when ordering from the UK. I've ordered a few times from Warlord, once from Sarissa, and also from 4Ground and while it does take a little longer to ship, I have received the packages within reason. In fact, a friend of mine did a group order with several of us through Sarissa and they forgot one of the kits I had wanted. My buddy emailed them and they practically overnighted it to North Dakota, as it arrived about two days after he emailed them, so they have outstanding customer service.

I've had success from England and Europe.  My comment was singular towards what is being given for current info in this thread regarding Redoubt.

My order was placed on Jan 14 and I also can not text him from the states, I also took into account our current situation. I had visited the site seeing his post about being up & running and thought a friendly inquiry on if the order had possibly shipped, but received  no response

Email sent again with no response, I am not looking for a refund but just an order ACW naval gun boat crew and gun for my Sarrisa Precision CSS Merimack that I planed on fitting the crew and gun before ordering another five crews and guns.
This stinks ???

Painter Jim, I feel for you man. I'm at a loss as to what to do as well, since calling or texting Andy isn't an option, as I'm in North Dakota myself.

I wonder if any of the folks on here who live near him might be able to help us out by contacting him to tell him he has customers in the States who need answers on our orders. I'm close to starting a dispute with PayPal just to try and get closure. I'd rather get the minis I ordered, but if I'm not going to, I want the amount of the unfulfilled portion refunded.

On a lighter note, I ordered the river gunboat kit from Sarissa for the ACW, as I thought it looked awesome.

Here's hoping we both get resolutions to our situations.

I will be curious to know how this works for you, as I don't have a PayPal account, so I'm not sure how I can resolve it, despite using them to check out as a guest. Plus, I believe the window has passed on me being able to file a dispute. Anyone with advice on this, I would love to hear what options I may still have.
