Made an order over a month ago, so far only getting excuses about "stock issues". Anyone else having problems with Khurasan lately? |

Placed a large order in mid-March, still waiting. I guess one item is holding up the order. Had replies to my queries until lately. Concerned, but not panicked as yet, as I hear it can take a while to get your order sometimes. Figure I'll wait another few weeks before beginning to worry. |

Khurasan had a very large number of owners, co-owners, employees, co-workers and support staff that all used to post here. Hopefully, one of them will contact you shortly. |

Khurasan had a very large number of owners, co-owners, employees, co-workers and support staff that all used to post here uh I don't believe this is correct. As far as I know he is the company and has a full time job outside the hobby. Edit Have you tried his Facebook page? |

I believe zoneofcontrol is referring to Larry's predilection for sock puppet accounts. |

He will hold an entire order on a backorder from his suppliers. If you are willing to take a partial I'd just email him and tell him so. You are going to pay more for shipping ultimately but I would just put in smaller orders have him drop the out of stock stuff then re-order it the next time. He can have a lot of delays but he will ultimately always respond and make things right. |

Yes, delivery can sometimes be slow, but he's a one man show, or was, so that is to be expected. I'm not aware of people failing to receive their products, eventually. |
martin goddard | 22 May 2016 6:06 a.m. PST |
Does he have an address or phone number that can be used? He might be using a contract caster to do the work, thus waiting for the stuff? martin |
Oh Bugger | 22 May 2016 7:46 a.m. PST |
In my experience he always delivers and he advises that as he's a one man band sometimes its a bit slow. |
kallman | 22 May 2016 8:10 a.m. PST |
Yes he takes his time filling orders which as stated is because he is a one man show and this is not his day job I understand. I've learned to watch his web site and not order anything that is listed as out of stock. Some one man business ventures in this hobby are able to deliver in a timely fashion and would love to know their secret. I suspect it is due to just having lots of drive and little sleep or making it their full time job. I believe GZG is also a one man operation but I swear that guy must have some kind of teleporter device as he is over the pond in the UK and I seem to get my merchandise within a couple of weeks. |

I had placed order early February. Four weeks later no package, etc… I asked him to refund my money and he did. He did not answer any of my emails. Couldn't tell if he was sore about the whole thing? I just assumed he was back ordered after Fall In. Trying to make life a little easier for him. |
Mako11 | 22 May 2016 9:28 a.m. PST |
He does use a contract casting service. |
Dentatus | 22 May 2016 10:25 a.m. PST |
Still waiting on an order. He has responded to my emails however. AFAIK, it's a one man show- one man with a full time job and the usual spread of real life obligations. So I'm not too concerned yet. |
Dentatus | 22 May 2016 10:27 a.m. PST |
GZG product and service are the gold standard as far as I'm concerned. Not really fair to compare as he's in a league all by himself. |

From their Facebook page: "I am drowning in orders. 😄 I know that sounds like humble-bragging but it isn't -- I've got around twenty orders still from April and one that's been waiting since March (!!!) for the M1A2, which just finally arrived yesterday. And since I spent some time this weekend getting new product ready for production I got little done in terms of packing. So I know people hate this but I'm going to have to close down again for a bit, maybe two weeks." |
Inkpaduta | 22 May 2016 6:35 p.m. PST |
Yes, I ordered from him just a couple of weeks ago. It came promptly. I have no complaints. |
Wulfgar | 22 May 2016 8:38 p.m. PST |
I made an order for five packs of the new Spanish figures. It arrived very nicely packaged within about ten days, I think. Since it's a small business, perhaps some of the stock was low on the other ranges? Beautiful figures. I hope that you receive your order soon, KC. |
Noldor42 | 22 May 2016 11:35 p.m. PST |
Made a small order a couple of weeks ago, & it arrived in 10 days… |
Cold Warrior | 23 May 2016 2:30 a.m. PST |
Well, just got word my order is shipping, so great news! (I'm the one who has been waiting on the M1A2's since March). Again, not terribly disappointed with the wait, no doubt worth it in the end. |
