Bought a poster today. If the N64 stuff is sorted out before the poster arrives, go ahead and ship the N64 stuff first.

Still waiting for a reply mate....

Jean Luc Picard, I just double checked and I'm not seeing your Email. What was your order number, do you know off hand? Please make sure you email jjparks AT improcomics.org as that's my main one I use for personal Emails. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
I've sent you another email to the said address, and PM'd you the order number.

Jean Luc Picard, I'm showing that I refunded the shipping buffer on 12/09/2012 back to your Paypal account on the original transaction. Can you double check on your side to make sure that went through? Maybe you just overlooked it? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!

My bad man!
I Just checked my paypal again, and it turns out you refunded me on the 12/10/12
My mistake was checking the "received" tab, instead of the "all activity" tab.
I am terribly sorry, and I hope it wasn't a big imposition!

Jean Luc Picard, no problem =) I should have shot an Email telling you that it was sent. Sorry for the confusion ^_^ I thought Paypal would have notified you to your Email inbox, but I guess not. Have a good one and hope to do business with you again!

** HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR FROM GFC **

I just wanted to thank all of you for making 2012 a great year for us and hope you all had a great Christmas/Holiday Season. New Years is just around the corner and we'll be working extra hard to get all existing orders mailed out by then (working all day today and tomorrow). The post office has strange hours these two weeks due to the holidays, but we'll work around them as best as possible.

Next year we'll be implementing some new additions to the site, but we won't be announcing exactly what until it's closer as things may change in terms of coding and such. We'll definitely be working on lots of new updates though so keep an eye on the site! Thanks again to everyone and we'll do our best to keep GYROS as up to date as possible as well. Talk to you all soon and Happy Holidays!

** HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM GFC **

I just wanted to thank you all again for everything. We are planning a few new things in 2013, such as the following:

* Monthly Lowball Sales: In order to sell a lot of extra merchandise as quickly as possible, we want to have monthly lowball sales on CAG. Most items are video game related, but we also have some movies, toys, etc. We have a lowball service on the site, but the CAG sales have always been most popular so we'll probably stick with them.

* Dedicated Mailing Addresses: This MAY take a full year to implement (which means it'd be in 2014) but I'm looking into new Package Forwarding options that would allow you to ship to a custom box rather than just shipping to our existing one. More on this eventually.

* Cleaner and More Streamlined Site: We'll be doing away with a lot of the glitchy output of the GFC forms and will try to streamline pages so that it all flows better.

* In order to make a lot of changes to the site, we'll be boosting our support for GFC Premium Members. The flipside of this is that every other month we will close the site to free users. During this time we'll work on our lowballs, list items on eBay and work on site code. You can of course join GFC Premium for a monthly/yearly membership at any time to avoid blackout months, or you can simply wait until the next free period opens. This will go live in February, so you have plenty of time to plan for it

* Expanding GFC Rewards and Referral programs as well. More on this mid-year more than likely.

Thanks again guys and lots more updates to come. Keep you posted!

Hey Goomba, I think I overpopulated your inbox while testing out the Direct Request form. Just ignore them for now, I'll try to get back to you later

Sorry about that.

No problem Moses88, thanks for the heads up ^_^.

Hey Goomba, have you been preparing for the USPS price increase for when shipping to Canada? Some prices are doubling.

Also, can ya send me an update? Also did my premium run out already?

Oh no, that sucks. I hadn't heard that they were going up that much. I'll have to change the site calculations accordingly. I'll definitely look into that though! Yes, your premium membership is expired now. I'll have an update for you soon though as I think all of the items are in and will be shipping out by Wednesday (minus the ones previously mentioned as missing). Talk to you soon!

That's great to hear about the shipped items.

As for Premium Membership, I dug through my inbox and it says in my email that I have premium from 12/23/2012 - 01/23/2012.

Capsuledragon, you're right. Sorry. Your membership is good until 01/23/2013 ^_^ You're good to go.

Hi Goomba, I PM'd you about an old order I'd made. Order #989843744

** SHIPPING PRICE INCREASE & TSD IN FEBRUARY **

Just wanted to remind you all that apparently the USPS will be increasing shipping prices on all package types in a little under 2 weeks from now (01/27/2013). We will adjust our website to reflect these changes, so you may want to put in any DR's you're thinking about now (for the chance they'll get here and ship before the increase). We don't know the exact prices yet but we'll update them on the site as soon as we do.

Starting in February, GFC will go into partial Total Shut Down (TSD) mode for all non-premium members. What this means is that you will not be able to place Direct Request orders if you're a free member until the month is over. We will be focusing on doing some major coding updates on the site (greatly needed) and a large amount of orders will hinder progress, so we're going to limit orders only to premium members for the time being. That being said, all premium members will see the site unchanged and can place DR/PF orders whenever they like. Free members will be able to sign up for GFC Premium during TSD to regain ordering abilities.

We'll talk more about additions and upgrades to the site during the month of February as we code them in. Thanks again and looking forward to improving the site =). Cya all soon!

Hey goomba I made a Direct Request and I was hoping I would get a response to confirm my request is reasonable as I have never done anything of this kind of activity. A private message to the same username/email would be appreciated.

** Ni No Kuni: Wizard Edition (GFC Update) **




OK, So I have good news and bad news. The good news first: Those of you who placed Ni No Kuni Wizard Edition orders that wanted to cancel....well you're in luck. The bad news is of course that Namco/Bandai, or more specifically their distributors: Digital River, really screwed up the orders. Even though we placed as early as August 1st (5 months ago) many orders were cancelled by Namco on launch day. I was on the phone for almost two hours with them trying to re-instate my orders but as I placed multiple copies in orders they told me I could only get one per order. What this means is that I'm likely only getting two copies, possibly 3 where we had 6 ordered in total. That sucks...big time.

For those of you who ordered and want to receive the game, I'll be doing a first-ordered first-shipped method, meaning if I get three copies then I'll send to the first three ordered and the rest will get refunds. If I only get two, then only the first two get the games and the rest get refunds. I'll keep you posted as the first ones are supposed to have shipped already, so any day now I should hear from them. I still am waiting to hear from them as they told me afterwards they'd fill my full orders, but now there are eBay sellers selling 200+ copies of the game, meaning that obviously they screwed up somewhere.

It's very stressful and time consuming but I want to see that you all get your games (or at least as many as possible). I wish I had more control over their shipping, but alas I'm just a Goomba :(.
