“Customer Service”

Nikomah G.

I purchased a Transformers Generations Legacy transformer I could not find in stock anywhere else. I had a problem with the link in the email they sent that wouldn't not allow me to track the package. I called and left a voicemail and Jeremy returned my call within a couple hours. He apologized for the issue I was having and emailed me a new tracking link and updated me on the shipping progress. Package was delivered the same day. Total time from order to my house was 5 days. This was my first time purchasing from here and I will definitely order again. Package was well wrapped and arrived in perfect condition.

“AWFUL. DON'T BUY FROM THEM. DISHONEST”

The Big C.
10/13/24

I preordered an item off their website and waited 9 months delay after delay yet they never fulfilled it. Finally, I ask for a refund and they claim its too late so I need to get store credit instead. Fine, so I purchased another item with the exact store credit I needed (not a preorder) so I would actually get the item this time. When my item came, I opened it to find dozens of big black ants pouring out of the package and around my item like some sick joke. Previous to this I had emailed them every time they delayed my preorder with a respectful but firm email as my patience grew less and less. I believe the ants had been placed there in response to my complaints. No integrity. I order items off BigBadToyStore, Hasbro, and Amazon all the time, never an issue with bugs. Don't ever buy from TFSource. Biggest mistake I ever made.

I have read the reviews and have to say that after purchasing 20 different TFs I have had no complaints at all. One or two items were pushed back but when I reached out to them I had a polite reply in under 24 hours. I have ordered from BBTS and Side Show as well and find all three have been great. Everything I have ordered from TFsource has arrived intact and undamaged. I have paid great prices for the pieces I have purchased and have had great communication with the staff when something has been delayed. I give the 5 stars! I hate that others seem to have had bad experiences, I have only had great ones with this company and will continue purchasing from them.

Tip for consumers:
Be patient. Some times, though rare for the items I have purchased, something will hamper delivery. Shipping delays, back ordered due to popularity etc. It happens.

EBAY suppose to help but suddenly permanent blocked my account with NO REASONS, Blocked using email contact, review or refund with TFSource and No Money Back Guarantee!

USPS 1st class international parcel has a tracking but zero contact channels with only option to use Missing Mail Searched after status stucked for 2 weeks.

Luckily Well Established TFSource helped patiently by replied my multiple emails and crossed checked with their warehouse team which i worried parcel lost etc.

Today 31 March 2022 i finally received my precious OX PS-13 (out of stock in the world) after 1 month+ which supposedly delivery due date is on May2022.

Great Trusted Seller that all any online buyer wanted.

Tip for consumers:
Ebay buyer can email TFSource directly from TFSource website and if ebay blocked you for no reason! Yes, for no reason!

USPS Tracking status details may stucked or confusing or dont meant exactly suppose to mean, but still delivered. If using cheapest 1st class international parcel which you wont have inquiries service to contact with UPSP either through online or calls, you must try missing mail search and sign up “Informed Delivery”. It will be the earliest tools to update you.

1) TF Source has better customer care than BBTS, Amazon, and Ebay combined.
I have had the ABSOLUTE worst customer care experiences EVER with BBTS.
2) There stack program is far better than BBTS' Pile of Loot. TF Source has much better rules than BBTS.
3) It is 1,000 X's easier to find product on TF Source than BBTS, or Robot Kingdom, or TF Direct.
4) TF Source has the the beat points rewards system I've EVER seen.
5) Unlike other web based stores, such as Robot Kingdom and TF Direct, TF Source had no problems recognizing my email address. Even major companies like Allstate, Geico, and Toys R Us had trouble with my email.
I tried to add a photo of one of my packing slips to prove I shop with them. Not sure if it uploaded.

Verified purchase

I was a happy customer for over 15 years, spending thousands of dollars building my Transformers MasterPiece collection from MP-01 to MP-54 with these guys. Over that time only one item came damaged and they quickly replaced it without charge. I thought great, if I ever need them they will be there... Then I ordered an item on 24Dec2022, within minutes I say their "special price" was not so great as it was $30 lower at BBTS, so I tried to cancel, unfortunately their shopping system doesn't have that, so I sent a message through their support portal. I received confirmation it was received and I'd get a reply within a day (standard automated reply). Sunday 25Dec passed, then Monday 26Dec2022 (observed holiday), these are all non-shipping days. They then shipped the item on Tuesday 27Dec2022, meaning they never bothered to read the message and then claimed it was my fault. I told them it's ok, just give me the $30 credit and they refused. So sad to see this many years of loyalty flushed down the toilet. I lost my shipping and paid for the return shipping over $30 different, even if it were $1, it is the principle. This experience should be very telling, don't support this company, there are far better sites like Bigbadtoystore.com with better selection, better shopping tools, better prices and most importantly better service.

Tip for consumers:
Don't bother with TFsource.com use bigbadtoystore.com

This site overcharges on shipping outside of the contiguous US. Alaska is PART of the US. The postal service charges that same to ship to Alaska that it does to Maine. YET, this company will charge $50+ to ship a masterpiece figure to Alaska, whereas, BBTS only charges $20. There is NO relevant reason for the excess charge except price gouging and greed.

Stay Away from this site at all costs! BBTS, The Chosen Prime, ShowZ and ToyDojo are all better options for your Transformers collection

FTSOURCE is the worst of the worst. I DID NOT BELIEVE OTHERS FEEDBACKS UNTIL I MADE A PURCHASE AT TFSOURCE. Unprofessional & rude. These... Inattentive staff and awful... Customer service is a joke.

If you expect your items to arrive within six months, do not order from here. Waiting 4 months for "preorders" that have been on store shelves for 3 months. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. GO TO BBTS.
