SubSkip[TK] Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 I ordered my full kit on Dec 11th through the main site. I received a "Dispatched" email this morning (Dec 14th). I'll update on the process as it continues. Quote
arbayer2[TK] Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 I've been out of the loop for a while, so forgive my ignorance, but I didn't realize this was a problem. From what little I'd heard DoopyDoo was quite reputable, as I'd hope they'd be seeing as I'm probably going to buy a DD kit for my first or second blaster. Perhaps it's because the thread's oriented around contact issues, but this sounds like more than a couple of coincidental shipping errors, which worries me. I should look around more, I guess, I need to anyway to get more familiar with what troopers sell which items these days. Quote
Kurtzmann Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I ordered an E-11 full resin kit from Doopydoo's which was paid for on 11/19. I sent an email on the 27th to ask about status and received a same day reply stating that item was dispatched. Their website does mention that it may take 10-14 days for shipments to arrive outside of the UK, so I've been giving them some time. Got home from work tonight and found a package from Doopy's on the doorstep, post-marked from 11/27. Maybe the usual holiday backup is why it took a while, Doopy's did indeed ship the item in the time they specified they would. The box looks like it was opened so I'm guessing customs had a peek at the contents. I'm sure under an x-ray it looked like gun parts. Everything was intact otherwise and kit looks great!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Doesn't seem to happen in Australia, had two orders and neither where opened, customs must be a bit more lazy here Quote

I'll update on the process as it continues. Package was on the doorstep when we got home this evening (probably arrived on the 24th. Looks in good shape. So, looking at 13 days or so from order to delivery. (Parts are not as white as the pic portrays.) All parts accounted for plus a D-ring. Edited December 26, 2012 by SubSkip Quote
mr0072003[501st] Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Well I ordered my package on the 18th got a dispatched email on the 19th and today still nothing. It looks like I may be a victim of USPS and customs issues. I have emailed doopys and still have heard nothing. Damn this really sucks! Same deal with my order from trooperundersuit.com Quote

My wife good bless her heart, had got a letter from USPS to pick up a registerd LETTER and BAM she actually received my order from stormtrooperundersuit.com, so I got both my things from the UK Today. YES. Pics up soon! Quote
FrankRizzo24 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Any update if Doopydoos has gotten any better? I'm days away from ordering the Hasbro conversion kit but I'm hoping it doesn't take months. Also, as I was doing research for a legitimate conversion kit, I noticed threads for ANH, ESB, ROTJ E-11 blasters. Would the basic Doopydoos conversion kit qualify, despite what armor I decide to build in the future? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Would the basic Doopydoos conversion kit qualify, despite what armor I decide to build in the future? Blasters are optional and GML's can't decide on approval or not for not having the right kind of blaster. But technically the conversion kit only makes you an ANH blaster. I would recommend getting a pipe blaster kit instead of a hasbro either way. Quote

My lack of skills, tools, and room to build is disturbing. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 In that case you should not get a hasbro since they take quite a lot of work to modify to get any decent results, even with the conversion kits. If you're in the US I'd recommend saving up for a hyperfirm once you've decided which version of TK to build. Quote
jamez1965 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Just wanted to chime in to say I ordered the Doopy conversion kit through their website about three weeks ago and it arrived today in excellent condition and nicely packaged! Can't wait to tear into my new project. Quote
nickyz28 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 ordered a full resin kit about 2 hours ago. didnt find this thread till afterwards crossing my fingers.... Quote
nickyz28 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 Just got my "confirmation of shipping" email this morning, albeit a week late... Hoping for the best... Quote
rugbyrat Posted May 24, 2013 Report Posted May 24, 2013 Ordered the resin blaster kit on ebay from Doopy on 03 May. Received on 23 May. Quote
TurboPunk Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Took 3 weeks to get my Hasbro Blaster kit and Electrobinocular kit. I consider that pretty fast coming from across the pond. I've had items shipped within the U.S. take longer. Quote
Ditch[501st] Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 I figure I'd test the waters. I ordered a E-11 Hasbro conversion kit 4 or 5 months ago and no issues. But I just placed an order for a full E-11 kit. Got the email today saying dispatched. Lets see how long it takes. Quote
Squeaky[TK] Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Wow, i'm having some communication problems with DoopyDoos and thought about starting a thread about it but luckily i searched and found these 7 pages on it. i ordered two kits on sept 26, dispatched oct 2 and ariived oct 9. nicely packaged. my armour arrived the next day so i played with that and didnt discover until oct 26 that two pieces of the folding stock have been cut short. cut cleanly by a machine of some sort. i emailed them right away with pictures and weekly reminders but nothing back. i am going to file a paypal claim if i dont hear back from them in two days. a shame since their product is so good and reasonably priced. build is on hold until something is worked out.

Like this? Because that's how the stock should come. You then glue the pieces together. Quote
