Default Anybody order from Dumas lately?

Has anybody ordered from Dumas lately? I ordered a boat from the over a wek ago through the internet. I keep checking the status of my order on their web site and it indicates that it is processing. I have sent them 2 emails with no response. Has anybody had a similar experience?

I sent them in inquiry about a part in an Email. It took them 7 days to respond to it...

Well, I guess all I can do is wait since they don't respond quickly.

I put an order in for the atles U-1, and about a week later I called and they are on back order for a few months. No email nothing was sent to me. I was told all or most 1/8 scale are on back order.

I love building kits and Dumas certainly offers a nice variety of them. Too bad they don't have laser cut items and had some of thier plans / instructions updated..

I did call them and was told they were out of stock for another 4 weeks or so. The person on the phone was not very helpful. Their customer service is awful.

My first order with Dumas seemed to take forever, over several weeks. When I had called them to thank them for sending and it had arrived ok, they asked me what model I had ordered and immediately got an apology for the delayed shipment, and continued to explain their production run practices.

I have since ordered several times again from them (boat kits) and they had arrived all within two weeks or sooner.
