25 - 40% off Battlefront and other stock clearance sale @ Maelstrom
#1
Quote:Hi there,

Here at Maelstrom Games (www.maelstromgames.co.uk) we have decided to clear as much of our hard-earned stock as we possibly can over the next few days - and therefore generate some much-needed cashflow - in order to ensure we can fulfil the orders that you, our valued customers, have placed over the last few weeks. To that end, we have decided - in consultation with our trading partners - to sell our remaining stock of Battlefront Miniatures (at 25% off), Perry Miniatures, Victrix, Plastic Soldier Company, Artizan Designs, Gripping Beast and Great War Miniatures (all at 30% off). All other ranges' stock will now be sold at 40% off UK RRP - we hold good stocks of Gamezone Miniatures, Dark Age, Cool Mini or Not and Scibor Miniatures, and there's a fair bit of Privateer Press and Malifaux left too. As well as that, from this moment onwards we have decided to stop any customer from placing orders for items that are not in stock, simply so that we can clear the orders that have already been placed.


A FEW DETAILS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have not made this decision lightly, and please note that we have absolutely no issues with any of the above manufacturers or suppliers; we are simply trying to sell off stock in order to clear older orders and ease any worries our customers may have regarding the speculation that is currently rife on the internet. As well as that, we believe that our retailing model must now change to selling products that are in stock at the time of purchase, and as such that will continue to be in place in the future, once our orders are cleared and our stock is sold.

I would ask all of our customers to remain as patient as they can with Maelstrom Games and, indeed, our staff, for we will use the money generated by the sale of our stock to ensure all of your orders are fulfilled in their entirety as quickly as possible. We remain committed to servicing our customers first and foremost and will continue to do so in the future.


YOUR STOCK CLEARANCE SALE VOUCHER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To recap, we're clearing our remaining stock of Flames of War products at 25% off UK RRP, and clearing Perry Miniatures, Victrix, Plastic Soldier Company, Artizan Designs, Gripping Beast and Great War Miniatures at 30% off UK RRP until this Friday, 12th of October 2012 at midnight (GMT). Everything else is at 40% off UK RRP bar Templar's Forge products, which are being cleared at 50% off UK RRP, please note.

These kind of sales do not occur very often and we would hope that you take advantage - and remember, our stock will be sold on a first come, first served basis so you will have to decide what you want very quickly as we suspect it will sell very quickly!

The voucher will work on all the items in our webstore that are IN STOCK ONLY, but it will NOT work on any out of stock items or pre-orders, nor anything within our eBay store.

Your voucher code is: WAREHOUSE-MOVES

To use this voucher simply register on the webstore, www.maelstromgames.co.uk (if you haven't already), copy and paste the code into the Voucher field in your basket when you have selected the items you want, press 'REDEEM', and the webstore will do the rest. You are not limited to one purchase and, indeed, we would ask you to recommend us to your friends with this voucher!

Remember though that this voucher is intended for the webstore only - it does not apply to any of our auctions or Fixed Price items on eBay.

Happy Ordering!

Really seems that Mealstrom are in deep doo-doo. No wonder my X-Wing is still to arrive.

I cancelled my order with them after they kept saying the supplier had no stock, even though every other online firm i've spoken too have said there's no problem getting stock off the supplier.

Triple Helix are about the cheapest for X-wing if you do cancel and quote a 3-8 day delivery time.

I'm in no rush. I came back with the core set and a TIE/A and a Y-Wing from GenCon. It's just annoying, that they had my money, and yet cannot get stock in.

You might find it's because they are 600k in debt..... and I understand that PayPal are now refusing to do business with them due to the amount of refunds that have been requested. Hence why you can't pay via PayPal anymore.

The shelves in the shop were certainly looking a little sparse when Luke and I visited after the Mantic open day.

There's a lot of discussion on (and pointing to) this thread regarding the Maelstrom situation: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/pos...64643.page

Probably worth a read as an aid to making an informed purchasing decision.

Yeah after giving it a read, I can imagine me chasing a refund tomorrow. I only used Maelstrom because they were a tad cheaper on the X-Wing dice.

Well to be honest i think the first few lines in Maelstroms email should be enough to make you go elsewhere.... They are saying they need cash in order to process orders that they have already taken money for... enough said really.
