Kitlinx Newsletter - July 18, 2023

 

EARLY NEWSLETTER THIS WEEK! Utah's Pioneer day is coming on Monday and some employees are taking a deserved time off to enjoy "cooler temperatures" outside Utah. Do NOT worry, our operation still runs every day, including Monday July 24th.

What's New?

  • LOST ITEMS? Kitlinx did a PHYSICAL INVENTORY of its warehouse (after we completed the books). We found "treasures that were lost" to our database. You can find a list of these "lost kits" here.
  • ERROR RATE: Extra inventory in our warehouse is often the result of error "in the process". It could be an employee that do not find the item on the shelf and cancels it or re-orders it, it could be an item misplaced on the wrong shelf, it could be a customer canceling an order but our personnel did not mark the database, it could be supplier's errors... We did a SEARCH of our HISTORICAL ERROR RATE of all these above issues - Kitlink error rate is at 2%. That means you could expect one mistake every 50 items, and since each order averages 3 items, you may get  one mistake every 16 orders. Obviously Kitlinx is striving to bring this error rate DOWN. It is "tricky" with two retail hobbyshops with walking customers who sometimes misplace books or kits.
  • NEW COLLECTION! We received another HUGE collection! About 200 kits, mostly aircraft.

 

 

Your Feedback:  

Order #34231 was delivered quickly, with no problem. The fault is not with Kitlinx. The Night Harrier is fine ,though lots of the parts were not on the sprues, that is not a Kitlinx problem. The Polaris is the same, brittle resin, lots of parts broke when trying to remove them from the plugs. bad instructions and so many tiny parts you don't even know what they are. Best part were the figures. Again ,no complaints about Kitlinx, excellent service and delivery time. will continue to buy from you

Great work on my orders.I realize customs is a pain in the ... so that should calculated the lead/tracking time.
PayPal following the most recent Federal and EU diktats makes the life of  merchants and retailers more expensive and difficult.
All in all, though, I am quite happy with Kitlinx

David from Harahan, Louisana, just earned $5 credit!

Thanks for the order and the prompt service. I will gladly recommend your company to the modelers here in the Twin Cites

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