If you look up tinpot in the dictionary…

If you look up tinpot in the dictionary you'll see an image of Coasties Collectibles logo underneath.These guys have not learnt their lesson since my last review. I ordered a tin from them on August 16th. This was due to come with another tin they were graciously taking a fiver off as a previous apology for not doing a great job. The other tin arrived but this one did not. Everybody slow clap because they got 1/2 items out to me. This was due in September according to them but they've moved the goal post all the way to now and this week I saw a message from their team saying they hadn't sent them out the day they were supposed to because of birthday celebrations? Honestly I don't care if it was your birthday Jordan. I've been told to look at announcements for my complaints on getting this item refunded but at the minute it looks like either my tin or my money is being held hostage.The only reason this company is still afloat is because of the parasocial relationship they have with their verified buyers. Numerous ETBs were cancelled for non verified and shipped to their verified. As a verified buyer myself I could see people asking about their cancelled order in the regular chat with coasties confirming that orders were on there way in verified. Any criticism against coasties will not be tolerated by their cult.I see reviews below stating that coasties are scammers but I don't think so, I believe they're just grossly incompetent. So with the "rebrand" or "remodel" underway for coasties I offer some advice. Rebrand to a 9-5 office job as you clearly aren't cut out to run a business.Edit: Was recently banned for criticising them and they have now asked their cult like horde to spam good reviews in the trust pilot. Don't trust them, they are not worth the hassle.
