Default C8 from Mint Models

Just got my black C8 from Mint models I ordered 1/1/2020. It is numbered 8/999. Made by Top Speed. It ws a problem filled experience. It was to come in March but no show so I sent a copy of the order receipt to Mint Models to ask where it was . The price was 151.90 with a $10 discount and priority shipping. In mid May they send me a tracking number and it does not come in the 2-5 days expected. 3 1/2 weeks later is arrives. Before the shipping they change there website and wipe out my order and the price. They replaced the order with a different order number but no price. No packing slip and no notice they changed the price. Not until credit card shows they charged $10 more than my contract price.

I suggest shoppers be very careful in dealing with them. I reported them to the BBB because they refused to refund the added charge.

I did contact the credit card company also. It is a nice model only the wheels roll but the fine detail in the engine and interior as well as the detail outside.
