le_boz Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi all, a few days ago, I ordered some awesome decals from 8a decals. Did some of you have a previous expedience with him. I requested him to have it delivered before a month, and he apparently told me he cannot guarantee, so as we all know a lot of scammers around, I would like to know if some you had a bad surprise with this fellow, or of if he is just working slowly. Thanks for your answer, and happy modelling, Boz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Boz, The 8a Decs business is not his primary source of income, he gets to the decals when he can. I had a custom sheet done and it took a little longer than originally promised. I was not worried as we kept in contact. I got my decals a little later than planned but they arrived. His product is good. I would not be worrying. I have got a few of his sheets now and am happy with the product and his communication.

Atlant Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I ordered some decals from him in the past. It took almost a month for decals to arrive into USA. He provided me with tracking number, but apparently Mexican Post Office is not fastest one. Those are standard laser printer decals, printed on regular laser printer. Do not expect extra clarity of fine details, perfect color match and opacity. In my case, for 1 portion of decal set, instead of 2 parts being mirrored (left/right) I got 2 images for right side. Quite disappointed, probably won't purchase anything else from this company. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Usually, guys like Jon at 8ADecs are happy to fix their mistakes and send corrections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
