I was talking to my son, who has been watching past episode of BREAKING BAD, about our recent woes with Topps. His analogy, "it sounds like you are all a bunch of addicts who can only get your meth from Heisenberg". I guess we all are bound to Topps in that regard.   

LOL, you’re right. Topps sells us the Dopey Whip we’re hooked on.

LOL. I love that show! Now that Topps is using FedEx I still haven't received my package and it's almost 4PM.

Sounds like they're using FedUp.

HaHa! I am getting FedUp! This is just crazy. I used to get UPS around noon and now the afternoon is all most over.

Not really Topps related, but I have noticed for a few months now that some items being sent via UPS are delivered to the local post office then delivered by USPS. My son received a package today from THINK GEEK but thought is was mis-delivered. He saw the label addressed to our post office address and missed the label with his name. At first I thought it was just smaller mailbox sized packages but the one he received today was pretty large.

It's now 7:15 and no FedEx delivery. My status still shows out for delivery but now my expected delivery date says N/A. WTF? First Topps delays and now FedEx? I'm about ready to jump out a window. This isn't Topps fault but in a way it is because they switched from UPS. My packages has been on the truck since 8:30 AM and it doesn't get delivered? Unreal! Did my delivery guy roll his truck? It's not like I live in the boonies. Very upset!

Funny thing is I asked the driver what happened and he told me 'I can tell you aren't the last delivery tonight.'
Why would they still be out so late? Are there too few drivers? Understaffed? It's not even the holidays. I can't imagine how after Thanksgiving is. Not a job for me.

I think a lot of it is just simply poor mail delivery, whether it's USPS, UPS or FedEx.

They don't guarantee squat anymore.  The "Priority" in Priority Mail is a joke, they
don't promise a delivery date, ask them.

On the other hand, I've always gotten everything and anything from Topps in a
very timely manner.  Maybe the Boston-area gets things quickly, who knows?

I got an after hours delivery from UPS with an Old School delivery, and I went from despondent to overjoyed in seconds at the unexpected truck noises out front.  I believe it was a Friday, I had stayed home from work just for the delivery, and I was looking at a weekend of seeing people posting stuff while mine were in a truck until Monday, when I had to be at work.  The driver told me that my stuff had been put into the wrong truck (his) and they try to deliver whatever they have whenever possible.

I've had nothing but nightmarish experiences from the Topps shop. Latest incident: I ordered some Wacky items including the series 10 binder on July 6th. Payment cleared via Paypal immediately. I just got an email yesterday saying my stuff was shipped FedEx ground. ELEVEN DAYS LATER. I too reached the cellphone "not taking calls at this time" message several days ago from the "store help" number.
 In all seriousness, why would they ship out 11 days after receiving payment? Even after the exorbitant shipping cost? Who does that?
...just sent them an F-bomb laced email, doubt it'll be read, much less acted upon.
 As always, stellar customer service from Topps.

I think they have to assign specific people to deal with issues from on-line exclusives.

Topps should address the shipping situation in the very near future. Actually it should have been looked at years ago. When someone orders 2 R.E. sets of post cards why ship them in a box that resembles a shoe box? This last order was the first time I received post cards in such a large box. The previous order of the L.E. cards came in that typical white box that could fit a hard cover book with just a bit of room left over. Useless and unneeded space costs $$$$.

I just realized from Paypal that my 6/28 order for the regular postcard sets was canceled with a reason of "out of stock."  The reason was not in the email I got from Topps.  So, people who ordered in July got sets, but people who ordered in June got canceled??  I am SO confused......

Maybe that's the ticket Jim. You just have to bully and threaten to get their attention.

Unfortunately, it has not gotten any better over the past few weeks.  I figured that I would give them the benefit of the doubt as they reorganized their warehouse and customer service departments a few weeks ago.  I ordered two separate items from Topps 2 weeks ago.  They took my money and acknowledged the order.  They finally acknowledged shipping my order yesterday but only shipped one line item.  I inquired via storehelp@topps.com and asked them when the second line item will ship. They responded with the tracking number.   I told them that the tracking number covers only the first line item and I need a status on the second line item.  I did not hear back so I called Topps directly.  I was directed to someone in customer service and their mail box is full.  I am almost at the point where everyone else is.  I simply do not have the time, energy or patience with them any longer.

Has anybody else not gotten all of their orders recently?
I wonder why Topps doesn't give tracking numbers.

woo hoo!
after writing ToppsShop last week about the continued problem, Lisa wrote back to me on Tuesday apologizing for the extensive delay.
She said the missing puzzle piece would arrive shortly and included a tracking # as well.
oddly - it was shipped from California
it arrived today and it was in a really nice magnet snap case.
so, problem solved, all is good, and I'm ready to order set #3 next Wednesday
