Lo . I went three times before I bought the nsx-r. Kept buying the other cars before. I should have bought the LaFerraris last week since they marked it in store as having discount. But yesterday when I went. The yellow stickers were off.

has anyone here ordered from http://www.daboxtoys.com ?
an order i had placed a week ago still shows as not being processed. they've already billed my credit card and no one answered my email asking why. their website and facebook site are regularly updated so i know they are there but... should i be worried?

I paid with paypal though and the item shipped on the next day.

i use my credit card thru paypal. i've been burned in the past by bad sellers and needed my credit card company to back me up because paypal does little.

I think you're pretty safe with them, I've bought from them on eBay quite often and I think they do a "we go to the shipping place once a week with everything" type deal as the notification of my item being shipped always varied a lot.

Picked up 2 more Porsche a few days ago, a grey 911 GT3 RS and a green 911 3.0 Turbo.  
All of them stacked together.  | |

Haha yah one of the dangers of buying online is you can't inspect the model beforehand (not that you would think to check if the seats were put in backwards) but I have all 3 colours of the NSX-R and 2/3 of mine have backwards seats. Only the yellow one is correct.
It's kind of a pissoff when you spend so much money on it and I tried to contact AutoArt directly about it a number of times without even so much as a "Thank you for your email" response... nothing at all... I mean I don't really expect them to do anything, but even just a recognition of the error/apology would be nice, it's a bit disappointing considering they are peddling what amounts to being a luxury item for most people and customer service expectations are usually pretty high in that realm.
