I ordered some minis from Black Tree on 17 April 09, and on the 5 May, they arrived. I have had bad service from BTD in the past, and have said so here, but I gave them another chance, and my faith has been justified.

Whilst people can point out that 17 days is longer than it took a.n.other company to deliver something to them, I think that 17 days is entirely reasonable.

Thanks, Black Tree, I'll enjoy painting these.

Wow, since you are in the UK 17 days seems a bit excessive. But if BT has to send the stuff by mule back who am I to judge? 8)=

And for the record I have ALWAYS had good service from them. I have been avoiding them for a while with all the complaints lodged here, though. I suppose it's time to give them another order…

I never had any problems ordering from them and I live in US. Figures always arrived within 2 weeks or so.

I am 6 months and waiting. If the US stockist has it you are fine otherwise forget it.

Very unpredictable and countless threads of long waits. I personally have had a very long wait three months but some replacements were sent in a week so both good and bad is my review.

1 year and a few weeks waiting for backorder/refund/resolution here. Lots of promises so far, though.

"I am 6 months and waiting. If the US stockist has it you are fine otherwise forget it."

If you order from the US branch. I've ordered from the UK branch and I'm in the US. Never had any problems.

Black Tree doesn't seem to be able to keep a decent US distributor, though. I bought quite a lot from Rise of the West, but that was all face-to-face. His mail-order rep was really bad.

Hexxenhammer08 May 2009 12:44 p.m. PST

I ordered from them once, some romans and a couple other packs, and got them in two weeks or so. And I'm in the US.

Guess I got lucky.

My latest order was a four day turn around to arrival but BTD might be showing favoritism cause I'm a fellow Texan.

JLA10509 May 2009 9:05 a.m. PST

To be fair, every time I ordered direct from the UK the service has been fine. This last time I was foolish and ordered from the US stockist…

Still waiting since November 08……

As I have posted on another thread. I ordered my stuff under a time constrant. I let them know about it. And sure enough the last few bits arrive right on my final deadline. There were a few subs, but also a few bonus items. I would order from again, in fact I am waiting for a note about items coming back in stock so I can order.
