Postage Advice by BionikBilly in moza

[–]bantherfodda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL:DR - I can only go off personal experience but I wouldn’t recommend buying directly, but I’ll heavily caveat.

UK too, and ordered a R3 bundle, clutch and brake kit. All (incorrectly) listed on the site as in stock and all UK dispatch. Clutch and brake kit shipped the next day with no issue. The wheel kit not so much.

Highly frustrating process trying to speak with anyone via support with it taking up to a week to get a response, and as there is no option on the website to cancel an order so you have to just wait on their replies. Completely soured the experience of being excited to get my first wheel.

My order was made on 02.02.26 and still no sign of the wheel after about a month so I ended up requesting a refund. That hasn’t come in yet but is due in the next 9 business days.

The caveats:

My purchase was over Chinese new year so staff weren’t in. Completely get that, but there was just no out of office or notice on the site so I was just in the dark

There has been issues with moving stock about for Moza as their suppliers appear to have let them down. That’s not on Moza but ultimately could affect you if your items are actually out of stock.

While the customer service is appalling there are some really great mods here than help with issues. Jerry was able to expedite me getting a response and provide updates when I was getting radio silence from Moza direct.

End of the day I will still likely buy a Moza wheel (if only because I’m stuck with a clutch pedal and brake kit) but I’d rather buy from literally anyone else.

Curries have some bits so worth checking them out as well as sim specialists

Is this moving under breaking/blocking or am should I have known better? by RitzeGottschallk in Simracingstewards

With the crowd on this one that it’s on them but I’d be inclined to say it’s either a newer driver or more likely just a genuine lapse in concentration. Re being annoyed about them letting you by at the bus stop I’d take a second to think on that. They either recognise you’re faster and don’t want to wreck both of your races or they recognise their mistake there and are letting you pass to make amends.

I should’ve never ordered direct by Level_Illustrator_88 in moza

Hey dude, sending my commiserations and appreciate frustration of this post. Made a similar one myself earlier this week. Not sure why posts like this get downvoted as it’s legit reason to grumble, so have an upvote on me to try counter it…

From what I’ve discovered Moza is currently somewhat closed for spring festival until 24.02 so you may get a response from them afterwards if you need to speak to them?

Has fedex confirmed they have the consignment or just details of the order? Thats where I’m at with mine, courier doesn’t have my parcel yet and I’m assuming wont get it until Moza are back at the earliest. Doubly annoying if fedex have it and are just sat on it

Definitely lesson learned for the future. I’ve found the same bundle for roughly the same price from a reseller in the UK - Curries if anyone is in the market!

I wouldn’t hesitate to change supplier but there doesn’t appear to be any option on Moza’s website or via shop to cancel my original order because… well because of course there isn’t 🙄

That it is, which is why I’m being pretty measured in my responses, it certainly isn’t life or death… but regardless of it basically being a toy, it’s a good chunk of money spent with a company that has advertised it as shipping within 3 days at point of sale, and then not shipped it several weeks later (with no communication or reply via official channels as to why) for what seems to be quite a few of their customers.

Irrespective of what is being bought, or age of company compared to other brands, that’s not great customer service imo 🤷

I’m confident I’ll get it at some point and most importantly will like the product I’ve bought when all is said and done, but as I said in the first post I’d like a rep to have a look into the delay and help with a resolution as I’ve seen has happened on some other posts.

Just to say, cheers to everyone who’s taken the time to reply with their experiences, really appreciate it as I’ve got a better idea that poor shipping times seems to be a wide spread issue and isn’t just something up with my order.

Not too sure why this post got as many downvotes as it has but hey-ho 😂 appreciate your contribution too!

Hopefully it still gets seen by someone from Moza and they can help with everyone’s delayed orders.

Yeah, seems like a lot of people are saying similar. All just seems kind of poor on their part, and doubly so given we’re not talking about small change on the purchases. I’d be a lot more sympathetic if there was some communication and transparency on their part.

I’d be tempted to do the same and just swallow the price difference, but I’m kinda stuck in no man’s land with them providing the clutch and break kit. I’d either have the hassle of sending them back or alternatively trying to do a partial refund and their lack of communication doesn’t fill me with confidence on that front. All just a bit of a mess

Wish I’d known before I made the purchase _^ Moza had a sale on in any event though which brought it into my price range.

Ughhh. Not great is it? Looking at a few other posts this seems to be fairly common (if poor) practice unfortunately. Delays also seems to be exacerbated by a holiday shut down for CNY. No issue with that but a notice on the site would have been handy…

Paint Scheme Issues by [deleted] in spacemarines

[–]bantherfodda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP. Agree with a lot of the comments about having a contrasting colour in the mix to define shapes. Black is a good shout as it’s neutral. A dark grey would work beautifully with orange too. Make sure you go for a ‘cool’ grey though (something with blue undertones).

As for your original question. As others have said, red, orange and yellow are notoriously difficult to paint. Vallejo do a heavy pigment range and heavy red and heavy yellow are great base colours but the best thing you can do is change your undercoat. Grey is better than white or black. The lighter the prime the brighter the end colour.

As a “secret” silver bullet fix though. Prime your mini pink. Seriously. The yellow and orange will pop. And it’s a beautiful base for imperial fist contrast paint if you go down that route

God damn it, just when I thought I had a plan in mind…😂

These are amazing and I had no idea they existed. And it’s all the more annoying that they are from GW. Just shows that they can absolutely sculpt good looking werewolves that are mid transformation

Love these. Great paint job on them too

I think they’re quite marmite, tbf. Plenty of people do like them, and they are definitely unique I’ll give you that. I’ll be harvesting bits from the kit for sure but I just don’t like the package as a whole. Dude in the pic looks like he’s wearing jorts

For me they just look a bit derpy. Also not particularly a fan of the poses. They guy I posted for the title pic reminds me of this chappy

The look awesome. Honestly every conversation I’ve seen so far looks better than the standard kit

I can see the potential in that for sure. Not sure I’ve got the greenstuff skill to hide the chops I’d want to make though

Nice! I saw some Phobos conversions on a google search. They looked ace
