Anime Wild?

[Sui Fong]

Dunno if this is the right place, but I was looking to order some patches and animewild.com has them. however, i've done my research (like a good little consumer) and it seems like it's a scam. It LOOKED legit, but u never know. Anyone shop from them or have any opinions?

I was about ready to post that it looked like a scam from the complaints I saw by searching... but then I ran across their Amazon.com page.

They've got literally thousands of positive reviews, and almost all of the recent ones are glowing. But if you dig back into the history, you see that a few months after they started up in 2008 they were getting something like 5-10% bad reviews. Some sound exactly like the complaints that you can find elsewhere on the 'Net - "Never arrived", "Had to file claim for reimbursement", etc - and the seller often posts comments in response that are incredibly defensive and blame either the customer or the shipper.

I don't know what to think. My gut feeling on it is that someone got fired for not doing their job (then trying to hide the evidence or blame someone else), and after that it was smooth sailing.

It's your call, but if it were me I'd be willing to place an order.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't even think about looking on amazon. With that, I think I'll put in a small order, like for only 10 bucks, and see what happens. I'll let you know what happens.

...maybe I'll check them out, too.

So my sis ordered from them, and 3 weeks later her package came w/o any problems. just giving u all an update, sounds like a fine site.
