Flame, what is he basing this on? DF’s performace with the LEXX cards, or every item they produce? Their pre-9/11 performace or post-9/11 performance??

I bet they lost my order I placed last year.
I bet September, October, November, and December will go by before I ever see a card in my hands if I ever see any at all.
Considering a lot of companies suffered a lost of records during 9/11, this wouldn’t be an unreasonable assumption to make. Also, DF underwent a huge shake-up in personel in the last quarter of last year, so again, it’s entirely possible orders got lost during the shuffle.

Let’s see. What else? Oh yeah. I ordered the second set of preview cards God knows how many weeks ago and I still have not received them. It took more than a half a dozen weeks or more for them to ship the first set to me.
I’m afraid that these bozos are so incompetent that if I try to send them a reminder to not forget about the order I placed last year they will screw up and cancel my ancient order by accident. But more than likely I’ll be sitting around, waiting for my order to arrive while all the rest of you receive yours. I’ll be waiting, waiting, and waiting. Then I’ll finally break down and email them. And after another half dozen weeks I’ll get a reply stating that they lost my order or that the order is on the way or whatever, it doesn’t matter the excuse. And then another dozen weeks later I’ll finally receive my damaged box in the mail. I’ll open it up and discover to my horror that I don’t have a complete set, let alone any signed cards. I’ll probably spend the next ten years try to complete my collection.
Oh, and did I mention that I think Dynamic Forces sux @$$?[/QB]
All I can say to this is that EVERY mail order company I’ve ever dealt with tells me it takes 4-6 or 6-8 weeks to ship. Normally it doesn’t take that long but on occasion it has and I’ve been reminded of their policy if I should call or e-mail and ask “Where’s my stuff?? I ususally get it in 2 wks.”
If you’re sure they have lost or will screw up your order, why don’t you e-mail them NOW to find out if they still have your order on file. If it arrives damaged, that’s more likely the shipper’s fault that DF’s. If you don’t get ANY autograph cards, then you have a problem that IS DF’s fault, since they promise 4 autographs per box. As far as getting a complete basic set in the box, I don’t think that’s a guarantee. Since cards are randomly packed in the wax packs, and the wax packs are randomly boxed it’s entirely possible you might miss a card or 2. That’s the reason they’re called trading cards. You trade with your friends for the cards you don’t have.
I hope your senario doesn’t play out Flame, but if it does, I would be willing to e-mail Nick and/or Carl on your behalf to get the name/contact info of someone you could deal with personally to get your order straightened out.
