It was by messenger

Care to share that message since he hasn’t. Don’t know why people on Facebook are being updated and not people here, we paid the same money for this, shouldn’t have to track down information.

Hi guys. I received updates with the latest packages. 9 packages are located in the neighboring city. Last update was March 13th. They were at the customs. Now they are near my city. I hope in a few days I can get them. After that I will try to send them. I hope before that I will have time to find out the reason for the return, so that I would send the parcels as soon as possible.

The mail along with the rest of the world is completely fucked up now. I’m in on a few runs that have had mass shipping on dozens of items at the same time . Followed several tracking numbers; some of them sit there for weeks not left the origin post after some have already been delivered that were dropped off at the post the same day as the stuck ones . I’ve had domestic packages wirh an estimated delivery date, miss the date only to go into the abyss and show up week later when they were literally 3 blocks away at a sorting center the whole time. When it comes to shipping things these days, the only thing for sure is that nothing’s for sure.

You said it best Ray, the whold world is complete fucked right now.

Hi friends. From March 30, quarantine began in Russia. At the most inopportune moment. I called my friend and he said that the post offices are not working. Also, no one is considering my applications for a refund of mney. There are simply no people who could do this. I still don’t know the reason for the return. The good news is that your packages are safe. The situation with the postal service is very bad for me, as well as for you. I hope the mail service will work soon so that I can send you packages.

Hello everybody. Yesterday I received information why the parcels were returned by customs. They explained this by the fact that the investment in the parcel is not product of common to use ... "What?" I wrote in the customs declaration: Toys. 1/6 scale figure made of plastic. This was done on the advice of my friend, who works in the postal service. I still can’t understand why the reason was precisely this. In any case, they told me that the money for the delivery will not be returned. This is very bad news for me. But I will send the packages anyway. But I will use regular air delivery.

I need your opinion. Now a very difficult situation in the world with the virus. The postal service is overloaded. When should I send the packages? I am afraid that the packages may be lost.

 

[Ajkhunter]

I thought you said the post office is closed in Russia?

What is the difference between regular air mail and EMS, I might pay the difference. I got packages in germany still fast (14 days) from China in these days, but some other countries in western world are closed from what I know and they were ignored directrly at the post office here when trying to send.

Mine was shipped EMS and it took half a month to leave russia. So EMS might be slow now as well.

Let me step right in to elaborate.
Russian govt closed the postal offices around the country for several days. Now they are reopened again. However, due to the fact that majority of international post is delivered via commercial flights you will be forced to wait for quite some time. chubbyman was affected by the second part.

Hello, friends.

Sorry for the silence. I had a reason for this.

On the night of April 11, at 12, there was a fire in the office building that I rented.

I did not believe my eyes when I saw this. All the equipment that I collected over the course of five years has been destroyed.

According to preliminary data, the cause of the fire is a faulty wiring. My things were not insured. And I can’t count on compensation.

Some time ago, after the quarantine was announced, I returned to work, and all the equipment and projects were there.

Now I'm on the way to buying equipment. I was not ready for such a situation and I have no savings.
This work has been a thing of my life. For a long time I went to make this my main work.

But I'm not going to give up and lose my head. I will not go anywhere and will continue because I do not want to let you down.

I am sure that these are temporary difficulties and I will get out of this situation with my head held high.

It's hard for me to talk about it. I can imagine what you went through recently with this project.

The Old Boy figures were in my office. And they were destroyed by fire along with my equipment and other things.

I will do these figures again, I just need a little time. I will not run away or disappear. I started this project and would like to complete
his.

I have already found 6 tailors who will help me make clothes in accelerated mode.

I have an artist who will help me with painting. I can’t set specific dates, but I wouldn’t like to say that this will drag on for a long time.

I hope for your understanding. I really need your support at this time.

We discussed this with the project participants on Facebook and I am grateful to them for the opportunity to do this. It is very generous to allow me to restore the project. I'm sure it will only get better.

 

[Ajkhunter]

Hi friends. I already have updates. These are albums with photos and blanks for glasses and gift boxes. I also make the first copy of the head. When creating figures and accessories, I follow all the nuances like last time. Now I work a lot. Sorry if I do not reply to the message on time. Now it’s very important for me to focus on work and get results.

 

[Ajkhunter]

Wow great to see man, appreciate the hard work!
