Kitlinx Newsletter - February 19, 2021

 

NEWS:

  • International Shipping Hiccup: Kitlinx is SO FRUSTRATED. That first package from Europe has been stuck since Feb.6 in NY, but released from US customs on Feb.14... but still NOT moving. The following order arrived in NY on Feb.17.. and again NOT moving - FYI, usually, when a Priority International arrives in NY, Kitlinx receives it/them on the NEXT DAY! We understand that a major snow storm has hit the Eastern States, but one would think that NY is well prepared for such events... [we send our kind thoughts to our customers in the Southern States and Texas]. Kitlinx is looking at confronting the US Postal Service on this issue. Kitlinx is also looking at DHL or Fed/UPS International for a better/faster service. These large shipments have VERY expensive shipping costs... we want our money worth!

  • German Narrative Books: Kitlinx sold MOST of the books in the previous boxes. We are now posting the next series of 8 boxes... not many left

We are ASKING customers to send us your model pictures to be posted on our HOMEPAGE. 

$10 store credit will be issued when your picture is posted on the Kitlinx Homepage

Rules:

  • Picture will be 1000x250 pixels

  • As this picture is ELONGATED, make sure most of your model is mostly on the right side (a gradient will be applied to the left)

  • HINT: close-up of details is BEST! We want to see your work! Be proud of your model, whatever your skills

  • Your Name/City/State will be posted to give credit-to-whom-it-belongs

  • You should tell us the Manufacturer/scale of the subject - an any pertinent information related to the displayed model.

  • By sending us the picture, you give authorization to Kitlinx to post that picture publicly

  • Kitlinx reserves the right to post or NOT post any picture

 

Your Feedback:

Can I ADD to my order?

Response from Kitlinx: Of course Kitlinx wants you to order MORE! So let's try to work with Kitlinx System:

  • Just place ANOTHER ORDER of what you want to ADD, including extra shipping

  • Put in the "special Instructions" - 'Combine with Order#####'

  • Send Kitlinx an email stating that you want to combine Order#### to Order#### (VERY IMPORTANT! Both orders should have the comment)

  • Kitlinx personnel will read your "Special Instructions" ONLY WHEN WE SHIP. Kitlinx combines orders automatically IF they pull on the same day. But otherwise, we will hold one order until the other items are sourced

  • Kilinx will credit you back the second shipping charge IF the added items do not alter the shipping charge of the initial order. You will receive an automated email when credit is extended due to overcharge or combination of orders.

Kitlinx wants to work with YOU, our valued customer! The above procedure is BEST, because it is automated (does not need a human interaction). Kitlinx will ADD A COMMENT on the first order to make sure it's combined with the later order(s). 

if it's only ONE item to add, Kitlinx has the capability to ADD this item to an order, but remember that we have to receive payment as well, recalculate shipping charges, etc... This is why the above procedure is BEST

 

I had a few problems with your website when it first started but since then I’ve had nothing but pleasant experiences with ordering from your company do you have competitive prices and a good inventory

Clayton from California just earned $5 credit!

Great experience!

I placed two separate orders a few days apart and they arrived on the same day.

Well packaged, and everything was in the boxes.

Will order again from you all when circumstances permit.

1/72 - Das Werk - DW72001 - U-Boat S.M. U-Boot 9 WW I German Submarine

 

Kitlinx is receiving another restock on MONDAY! 

 

U-9 U-Boote was the first submarine which was able to reload her torpedo tubes while submerged. She sank three obsolete British Cruisers within one hour, on 22 September 1914, with the loss of 1,459 sailors. The submarines were considered as "toys" by the Admiralty before this event. On 14 October 1914, U-9 sank the Cruiser HMS Hawke with a loss of 524 sailors. U-9 and SMS Emdem were the only WW I ships which Kaiser Wilhelm II awarded the Iron Cross.

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 "*"
