Fables Studios order...

Doug,

I don’t mean to butt in but can you send me an update on the two talking skulls I ordered from Transworld. I know the check was cashed, just looking to see when they will ship or if they have shipped do you have the tracking number?

Thank you for your assistance, have a nice weekend!!

Hi Peter, you did not place an order with us for talking skulls. That would have been with Fright Ideas. Please contact them @ 905-803-9274. Their number and web site is also on your Fright Ideas invoice from the show.

Doug.

spookyant..... beware !!!!!!

since you are in Hawaii, there will be even MORE excuses on your missing orders from lousy ripoff vendors. they will have an extra CRUTCH for an excuse and say that "Well, you're all the way in Hawaii" "anything could have happened" (whatever) beware!!!! try to buy LOCAL. read all the posts here.... there are alot of ripoffs selling halloween supplies!!! search out the good ones, because there are many great ones who give great customer service and quality goods and good prices. good luck !!!

Or you could bring a ton of cash to the National Haunters Convention and buy tons of stuff off the show floor and simply carry it home... :-)

FRIGHT PROPS Best Vendor out there!

FrightProps has been nothing but the best in costumer service and quality products.
I order from them through out the year and they ALWAYS deliver in a timely manner.
FRIGHT PROPS gets HUGE thumbs up from me!

Those boom sticks or whatever they are called are made in China, we actually found them first along with some other things like firecrackers, popping whatever now used by another vendor friend of ours... we got a job and needed to make something like this happen so we found a vendor in China. Apparently the deal is that they banned fireworks in certain parts of China so they made this whole line of stuff as replacements so people in China could buy to celebrate say China New Year or whatever. Additionally now they sell machine guns, now sold by some vendors in the haunt industry to basically everything between...

I think the actual cost of the stick itself is like $20 per stick or something cheap like that... a whole bunch of you could go in and buy a whole shipment of them you could get like 10 for the price of one that is how cheap they really are and they sell other cool things. I could post the contact info or link to their website if someone is interested.

We never thought to sell these to haunt owners, kudos to Digital Sound and Lighting on that one.

Bottom line is... these things are cheap and if you are willing to order an entire shippment you can get them for next to nothing along with firecrackers, popping things, you name it.

I will say however that in lies the issue all these guys are getting them from China so they have to wait on them... if you are out you have to wait for more, that might be why some people can't ship right away. As for Fright Props they have never answered their phones anytime I've ever called ... I am not sure they really do answer their phone. I think these days email is actually the best way to do anything to be honest because you have everything in writting.

I know some people prefer to talk to someone and get answers. Scarefactory was ripped up and down the flag pole for this and NOW they have multiple people answer phones. Everytime you call Scarefactory someone answers the phones. They might answer their phones now I don't know because we dont' order anything at all from them so we dont' call them really so on the flip side we haven't been trying to call them for a long time but when we did try to call them they hardly if ever answered their phones. I do know Doug gets emails and I know when someone calls me about an order by phone I always tell them the same thing... can you email that to me! Personally I think if you prefer to only get emails about orders you should state that on your website maybe... I know I prefer emails only.

To be honest its just better... everything is in writting, you can email what you ordered, how you paid, your shipping address, and you can get an email back in writting telling you status and when you will get it. When they dont' follow through then you have something in writting to back up your charge back with your credit card company. But Fright Props wouldn't be in business this long if he didn't ship orders so I'm sure its just an oversight and I wouldn't panic. I'm sure he will get it to ya... if you open next week I'd be upset but if its September like me I wouldn't worry about it.

If you are going to take these types of orders pay someone to answer the phone and be done with it... there is no excuse for that. Scarefactory did it and do a great job doing it now... so maybe FP should invest some money into someone to answer phones. But as for why you probably don't get the things right away it comes from CHINA!
