BLUFANS DO NOT DELIVER OUTSIDE OF CHINA

With a growing popularity of Blufans Exclusive steelbook collection, I'm thinking it is a good idea to have the thread about Blufans. Please feel free to discuss anything related to Blufans products.

Currently, Blufans only ships their orders within China, not to overseas.

And in order for our members better understanding the Blufans Exclusive steelbooks, here is how are they made and how long are they made.
BE STEELBOOK FLOWCHART

STAGE 1: ARTWORKS DESIGN

1) Blufans chooses the photos from studio art library.
2) Concept arts designing. Time: normally about 7 days.
3) Submit the arts to studio headquarters for approval. Time: 7 to 10 days.
4) Once the art is approved, send the artworks to Scanavo (the steelbook maker) for review. Time: wthin 7 days

Total time: 15 to 20 days

STAGE 2: STEELBOOK MANUFACTURING

1) Confirm steelbook finish (Glossy vs Matte) (emboss, deboss, or none )
2) Making a tin proof for BLUFANS to check. Time:10 to 14 days.
3) Making a sample steelbook. The step is optional, but Blufans always request it for ensuring a better quality of its products. There will be an extra cost for doing this. Time: 14 days
4) Steelbooks in Mass Production. Time:45 days
5) Custom Clearence. Time: 7 days
6) Transport the steelbooks to Packing facility. Time: 4 days

STAGE 3: PACKING and SHIPPING

1) Pack all the elements into the steelbook and factory-seal it. Time: 3 to 5 days

As you can see, if everything goes perfectly smooth, you will wait at least 90 days to receive the final product.

Apparently the Thor pack is actually a Thor 1 and Thor 2 double release with WEA ! Anyone able to confirm this ?

as far as I know, two separate steelbook comes in Thor 1 & 2 WEA ...

but it has not confirmed yet. so we have to see what blufans announce.

anyway. blufans is also one man show (site operator name is ahbu)

few weeks ago, ahbu just hired some CS guy who speak English to treat customer who can not speak and write English.

first of all, blufans need to accept paypal or credit card to ship internationally..

now blufans moves on new level for international customer.

but do not expect great customer service from blufans

even local chinese customer has plenty of complaint about their service.
 
Dealing direct with blufans would have been good. I lost trust in Kevin as a middleman when he claimed that he sent me the invoice for UP even though I never received one at all and when confronted with the evidences (a screenshot of all my PMs), he chose not to respond. Not even by sending a screenshot of this so-called PM he had supposedly sent me for this invoice.
 
I know, but I'm sure someone will be willing to sell his copy :naughty:

any pictures available perhaps?
