    Hi, do you know what happened to Allinace Miniatures?
    I shopped in the previous lockdown but no shipments arrived.
    He told me he had some problems and would send them back to me but I never received anything.
    He does not reply to messages or even see them and his Facebook pages have also been stopped for months. He used to answer me very quickly...

    Thank you
    Marco

    Hi Marco

    Sorry to hear this certainly sounds like they have finished or gone to ground

    Perhaps others might know more

    Happy benchtime

    Sorry to hear about this. I know that the lockdowns caused very long delays in deliveries from Russia, but the fact that he hasn't even bothered to reply does not bode well.

    I only ever placed one order with Alliance (the 75mm Mountain Man), which arrived quickly and communication was very good. But that was about a year ago, and from what you say it sounds like Alliance might have gone the way of Jinkoo Park - another flash-in-the-pan-fly-by-night company that was "here today and gone tomorrow", leaving guys out of pocket and with orders unfulfilled.

    Me too the first order arrived quickly. The second one has disappeared. And the communication with the producer was gone. Then not updating the social posts makes me think they have disappeared. Sin. It is not just for the lost money, we had communicated a lot earlier.

    I only deal if Paypal is an option. At least this gives some protection although I have not had to put it to the test. These fly-by-nights are a real pain, I am very selective about who gets an order from me these days.

    Hopefully you have not lost too much cash.

    I just checked his planetFigure profile and he was last active here on July 27th this year. So not all that long ago. Read into that what you will.

    Hi Marco

    I have sent a message via FB asking about Alliance

    They certainly haven't been that active on FB or PF as Steve says
