>>11349742About 2-1/2 months passed and I moved into my new house. I wrote my (by then) 6th email to them, alerting them that I’d moved again but withheld the address to see if they would even bother to inquire. This is when I realized every response I’d received after the first 2 was essentially a loop of rotating, seemingly human copypasta that was just different enough each time to be passable, but essentially always a variant of “so sorry, I’m alerting management to this issue, will send asap along with tracking - Rahim” 2 more very unflattering emails later asking them how I’d recieve it if they didn’t have my address, and in response got the same thing with minor grammatical variations and new names. Last week I finally, in a new email thread, I told them I wanted my shit or a refund and if I got neither would have an (made-up & 100% fictitious irl) older brother of mine who happened to live in in Newark, NJ come to NECA’s HQ to “take it out of someone’s ass”. No response.
Yesterday I went to my previous address to retrieve some lingering hardware from my shop & check the mail for any vital stuff. I find this, box soaking wet, after it’d obviously been sitting out in heavy rain for a few days as I never received updated tracking info. Only returned on a whim as I was in the area by chance. Amazingly, the inner boxes only suffered some super minor warping from moisture. No autograph enclosed. 3 months, $170, 19 email correspondences, and 1 obscene yet seemingly necessary threat later.
