Kitlinx Newsletter - February 12, 2021 HAPPY VALENTINE!

 

NEWS:

  • What happened this week? Kitlinx is trying to understand why there was an unusual RUSH OF ORDERS during the week. We experienced a similar business increase in April 2020 because of COVID restrictions. But we have NO CLUE why the business almost doubled this past week. If you are NEW to Kitlinx, please let us know if comments on social media or a Newsgroup's ad brought you to us!

  • International Shipping Hiccup: One of our Europe order is STUCK in NY customs for the last 4 days... It's frustrating for everyone, but please be patient, it will be released

  • Doubling Up! Due to this week's amazing flow of orders, Kitlinx has DOUBLED its orders to suppliers, including our European supplier. Kitlinx wants to speed up order fulfillment.

Your Feedback:

Could you please remove my review for the Pilot Replicas SAAB J21a3? I mistakenly thought that I was sending a response to the service that I had received from KITLINX, and not for the items. I will write a quick review of the kit once this is straightened up. Sorry for the mix up

NOTE from Kitlinx: This comment happens often! Kitlinx would like to illustrate the purpose of the REVIEW REQUEST sent to ALL customers exactly 30-days after your purchase

  • First, you can ignore it, and delete the email. It's automated and it does not offend anyone - except your over-flowing email box.

  • These reviews are about the PRODUCT, NOT THE SERVICE as understood from the above comment

  • If you have comments about Kitlinx service, PLEASE email us. Compliments and constructive criticisms are welcome!

  • If you received this email and did NOT receive your order, we welcome you to check your order status and try to understand WHY? It's often that your order is "stuck" because one item (hopefully not more) is not sourced automatically by Kitlinx system. It often means that a supplier ran out of the product between the time of your order and Kitlinx scheduled order to that supplier - Inventory is a constantly flowing unknown, but multiple suppliers and constant updates help reduce the errors.

  • Kitlinx is working with an automated system that sends notifications IF an item is NOT sourced within 1 week of your order. By that time, ALL items should be sourced (except pre-orders). Actually, by EACH MONDAY NIGHT, all items should be sourced. A similar process occurs on THURSDAY NIGHT but not for International Orders (yet).

  • Kitlinx automated system treats NEW customers the SAME as VALUED and LONG-TIME customers. Kitlinx appreciates your patience and understanding of its system, which can optimize your hobby purchase experience

So I received the Hobbyboss M35 ADGZ Steyr vehicle model. It arrived in the scheduled time frame and well packaged. This was not a model which many other online hobby stores are presently carrying. There are many unusual subjects kitted by Eastern European countries that are nearly impossible to find in the USA except through Kitlinx. I would recommend buying through Kitlinx to other modelers

 

Curtis from Connecticut just earned $5 credit!

 

I have been so impressed with Kitlinx!  I had a problem with an item omitted from a shipment and the response and replacement shipment was great

 

Bruce from Virginia just earned $5 credit!

 

NOTE from Kitlinx: Missing parts and other issues are NOT straight forward processes. Kitlinx will do its best to resolve the issue, but the MAIN PURPOSE of Kitlinx is to procure models/accessories/books for our customers, and ship them in a timely fashion. QC problems involves the willingness of distributors and manufacturers, and the experience varies greatly.

Search Tips:

Let me add some "tricks" to the POWERFUL search engine of Kitlinx. Below are the KEYS to search ~ 80,000 available products (63% in US, 37% in Europe)

1. Use the top box search on Homepage

2. Use several keywords separated by spaces to zero-in your search "1/48 spitfire aircraft_model" (59 kits)

3. Use the underscore "_", like armor_models or Tamiya_ or aircraft_accessor "1/48 spitfire aircraft_access" (456 accessories)

4. Use keyword "instock" to JUST search for in-stock items  

5. If you are searching for SALE items, use the keyword "~special~"

6. Don't forget the Manufacturer's link on TOP of each Product-Page. It quickly shows ALL available product from the same manufacturer

7. DO NOT use the asterisk "*"
