So, I ordered one of these marionettes. However, I am a little disappointed in their level of professionalism and customer service. I have been waiting for a while now for my order to arrive and it has not. I emailed them many times only for them to be ignored. If this continues I will be disputing the charge on my CC.

Until I hear something from them or get my order, I would recommend not using this site. They have some really amazing marionettes, but they have no concept of customer service.

Friendly warning!

So sorry to hear that you have not had a good experience with this company. I often buy products from Eastern Europe and have found that communication is always difficult and it takes at least two months for me to receive my packages. I hope that is the case for your experience, too, and not that you have just been overlooked.

Me too. Although, I specifically paid more for the 7-10 day airmail time. Days keep passing, time keeps going, and I still have heard nothing!

Seems I am not the only one with an issue http://www.myczechrepublic.com/board...ic.php?p=49393

Did you check to see if the charge was put on your credit card? I know that at one time when I was dealing with an Eastern Europe purchase, I waited for two months and got nothing. I then found out that my order was not received and sure enough, my credit card was not charged. Oh I do hope it turns out to be a happy ending for you. Also because the puppets are just so gorgeous that I want to purchase from there, too. I will listen to your warning!!! Let us know the outcome and good luck!

That was how I knew my order was received, because my CC was charged pretty quickly, just when I tried to figure out what happened, I have heard nothing. I actually contacted Steve from Axtell to ask if he had known anything about this site since he had a link to them. However, he had never dealt with them and said he will remove the link if there turns out to be a problem.

So, I tried contacting them three times only to hear nothing, and since it has been much longer than the allotted time, I am going to be disputing the charge on my credit card. It is a real shame since these marionettes looked really good, but, perhaps, that is why they looked so good, because they didn't exist in the first place.

I highly recommend staying away from this site, as it seems fraudulent and nothing but a scam!

This is a little affirmation

The dispute was placed and ruled in my favor. They do not respond to any emails, I have more than my share of spam after an email I send to them, and I still have not received any indication that I even bought a marionette.

Needless to say, I would NOT recommend this site and would WARN everyone to stay away.

Again, the site is Marionettes- Quality Marionettes Puppets and Collectibles

And, from what I can tell, it is nothing more than a scam. Save your money.

It is sad though, because I was really looking forward to getting those marionettes. I really wish the site was legit.
