Disgusted with TOPPS
« on: July 09, 2013, 12:17:02 PM »
I have reached my wits end. I placed an order for the RE postcards on June 30th, its July 9th. They should have been here 3 days later.

I have been unable to get ahold of anyone at Topps for days, i've called phone#s i've sent emails. No one has contacted me on this matter.


dont hold your breath, but i may be done with wackys, with all the money grabbing over new products and ridiculous chase sets. The price hikes, the swill sketches, the complete lack of customer service. It has gotten way out of hand, and I for 1 will not put up with it anymore.

Stick a fork in me boys, I'm done!  >:D

I placed an order on Friday, 6/28 and have not seen a thing yet.  I'm starting to wonder if it's lost, and I dread trying to deal with Topps....

I bailed a long time ago on newer Wacky stuff.  trust me when I say you are better off from both a financial and sanity standpoint. The only time its tough is when people start posting pictures of and talking about newer items when they first come out.  it's hard not to be part of that, but that feeling of missing out does not last very long.

I would not be able to work for a company like that.    

I mean, what the hell is this crap?   1-866-374-8266   is their "customer service number"  (the verizon wireless cust is not available at this time, please try your call again later)  A CELL PHONE IS CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR COMPANY??? you've got to be joking?

Ah, but it's a REALLY NICE cell phone.

Sorry, man. Couldn't resist. I understand your frustration. It sucks being on the wrong end of Corporate America.

Still waiting for a refund on the LE  PC set I purchased that only had the postcards. Emailed, Spoke to CS> Was told someone would call me from Topps OnLine. No one called. Sent back the cards.....Nothing.

Topps is usually excellent with shipping my items and more often than not (99% of the time) regular shipping affords delivery the very next day after placing an order. Last week (the 4th) I purchased 2 of the RE postcards and it isn't here as of yet which is rather odd.

My July 4th order still shows IN PROCESS status. No shipping number yet. Wonder what the holdup is?

I placed an order on the 27th and it still has not shipped yet.  Supposedly Topps has moved the Vault operations to NYC which has caused a few issues and the standard inventory is now warehoused in Massachusetts. There is a new Customer Service team starting today as well. The switch to FEDX will also slow things up a few more days. Topps was closed most of last week to celebrate the July 4th holiday. I am not making excuses for Topps but this may explain some of the recent delays. Hopefully, everything will run smoothly by the end of the week.

An E-mail, a phone call...some contact...any contact. But they sure as hell will make sure you get a LATEST RELEASE email so you dont miss spending any money, Screw getting the product to the customer.

I'm with Jeff. This move for Topps is really a mess for them. I don't know why it would have to be either. I broke down and ordered some RE sets also but haven't gotten any shipping info either. The postcards were all they had in NY so that is if you purchased any other product other than the PCs your order would have been delayed. I'm sure they shipped their batch of PCs to MA so that is what is holding things up, that and the fact it doesn't sound like they are ready to ship from MA because it would only take a day to ship the sets to MA.

I bought both sets along with an ANS10 binder on June 25th and nothing yet.  No shipping notification, but they did take my money from PayPal.

Hi Jim,

I spoke with Mike Jaspersen and he wanted me to relay to everyone that they have a new email for Topps.com customer service. This is the best way to communicate with them until their move is complete:

Something as simple as a generic email stating a delay in shipping orders placed between such and such days would help a situation rather than taking our money and leaving the status up in the air.

If I don't hear something very soon, I'll probably cancel my order.  Tomorrow will be two weeks, and I'm now extra ticked off because I could have ordered them at the discount last weekend if I was going to have to wait this long.

So the pricing 52.99 + 39.99 = 92.98 was especially designed to get us to either buy something else or pay the shipping costs?  I only ordered the binder to save the shipping costs.  I figured if it was going to cost me $15 to ship, why not buy the binder for $19.99 and then I've only really paid $5 for it.  I don't mind waiting if as long as I know I'm going to it.

I quit ordering via ShopTopps after I ordered the last Wacky Packages comics April Fools issue and never attempted to send it.
