| Posted - Nov 22 2000 : 4:11PMSo far, a great place for toys! I placed an order since the prices are really low, as we see in the new Toy section. I submitted the order last Thursday and 2 of the 3 items arrived today. Unfortunately, the Love Swing is back ordered. I told you it would be mine! The only downsides are that they shipped to my billing address rather than my shipping address and it looks like they may have billed my credit card for the entire order rather than just the shipped items.

I love their prices and they ship fast, but they too shipped my order to my card billing address, which is my business address. And of course it arrived when I wasn't there & my employees opened the box, not thinking. I'M MORTIFIED!!! I'M SO FUCKING EMBARRASSED!!! Thank God it's a holiday, & I don't have to go in for a couple of days.

I hope I get the swing before Christmas also. Makes a great gift to give in front of the in-laws. I had them ship it to my business, but they sent it to my house instead. I haven't had a chance to e-mail them, but I'm going to try to remember and contact them Friday. Nobody touches my packages at work since I have all my packages sent there ever since my mailman decided to leave a couple in the ditch.  [Link] |

I did email them about it, but probably won't hear back until Monday. The confirmation email they had sent had my home address as the shipping address, so I don't know what happened. My order had several items, and I thought about saying that these were for review (which is mostly true!), but I realized how weak that sounded. Hell, I wouldn't believe it! So, I'm laughing about it now - but I just can't be sure that it won't happen again. I can only imagine the looks I would get then! [Link] |

Dumblonde - what are you going to do when you get to work? What did you order? As long as it isn't too freakish you should be fine. How embarrassing!- [ invalid url ]  [Link] |

The only time I had trouble with porn at work was when one of the new guys was going around cleaning out all the garbage cans. I had a box with a few pornos in it that I was trying to trade and he almost threw it out. It was horrible! The thought of porno going to waste. It's enough to make a grown man cry. Anyway, I got a lot f crap from a bunch of the guys. I just told them if it was really good porn, why would I have it at the office where they could get at it. [Link] |

I just received an e-mail about the shipping screw up. They apologized and say that it's been corrected on the remainder of the shipment. Great response time! [Link] |

Cool! Did they say if you you'd be getting the swing in time for Mrs. Astro to unwrap with the inlaws & everybody there? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. And remember, if this does get you in the doghouse for a little while, she'll be howling like a big dog later on! [Link] |

O.K. I just checked my email & they acknowleged the shipping error, that's good. Here's what they said: We apologize for the shipping error. We have made the change is our database. As far as your employees go, they should be instructed to leave your mail and packages alone. Any future shipments will go the the Los Angeles address.
Now, I'm kinda concerned, being as how I DON'T LIVE IN LOS ANGELES!! I'll get it straight, yet, it can't be that hard, besides, they've too many goodies for me to give up.

It's so very kind of them to dictate company policies for you. Don't they realize that most companies open all mail that's not marked "Personal and Confidentail" ? I would suggest that as a matter of policy for them. [Link] |

I just received the remainder of my order in the mail at my shipping address. The Toy Chest was good to their word and did get it switched over to the right address. No worries about stuff arriving at the wrong place. Hopefully they get things changed so it arrives at the right place for everybody else on their first shipment. [Link] |

That's good to hear Astro - I'll bet you're really looking forward to Christmas! If you read my last toy review, you can see why I was so embarrassed. Oh well, it's good to keep'em confused, heh heh. [Link] |
