Never had a problem with Mirliton, or Vexillia for that matter.  Black Cat used to be fine, but that was over a decade ago and as mentioned they've had health issues and are mostly(?) shut down.

Black Cat used to be great, then they had big health problems. Last I heard they were getting back to normal.

I have ordered a few minis from Black Cat Bases recently (January 2018). It took them a couple of weeks, but the miniatures arrived. No complaints here.

I ordered from Black Cat Bases last December and the items arrived promptly in Australia a few weeks after ordering.

I was quite happy with their service.

I have been a regular buyer over the past year and no problems at all. Latest order arrived yesterday having ordered at the weekend. All good.

I've often ordered from Mirliton no problems with any purchase.

Mirliton are very reliable. And dangerous, so I try not to go to their site too often.  ;) You can feel very safe ordering from them.

Black Cat were great, then struggled.  They did well my last order so I guess they are, as folks have said, getting back on their feet again.  I hope so; I quite like some of their figures.
