FamicomStation
As some of you know I bought a FamicomStation.
I recived the package yesterday and was very excited
The station was well packed with bubblewrap and those mars mellows things.
This was how it looked like when I got it out of the package:
Some idiot handeling the package choosed to throw the package.
And when something which weigh 15Kg lands on the corner, something has to break...
The station still works but the faceplate is garbage...
I've talked to the seller and he's going to try to find a new faceplate for me.
I hope the FamicomBox I'm waiting for from another seller gets here in one piece.

Thanks for the sympathy.....
When I saw the damage, it was like beeing punched in the face
Seems like a good seller too..... goddamn international shipping. Is there anything the post office can do since it was their fault?
Wow, that is such a shame............

I don't know what the postal office can do as we don't know where in the shipping the damage was done.
I asked the seller about insurance but he didn't answer that question, instead he said he might find a replacement faceplate.
I just want it to look whole again...
Looking at this bump, you shouldn't think that the damage was this big...
Oh man, my stomach sank when I saw those pictures. I'm sorry, I hope he does end up finding the replacement face plate.
Agreed... Wishing you the best..
BTW where did you bought this? not from europe holland right??
I did buy it from Japan-Games on ebay.
Fy faen så kjipt. I would be crying for weeks if it had happened to me. Hell, I'm crying just looking at your pics. Hope everything will work out for you.
Takk for din medfølelse ...
Yea I really hope Japan Games find a new frontpanel, crossing my fingers...
He seems like a good guy.
About insurance, judging by the parcel note on the package i guess it was shipped with surface mail? Unfortunately surface mail doesnt offer insurance, maybe thats why the seller didnt reply to that question. But i cant blame you for using surface mail, i used surface mail myself when i bought my Famicom Station about 2 years ago from Japan. Hell, then it cost like 105 US dollars, pretty much for shipping, but it is indeed a heavy item. EMS with insurance costed atleast twice as much.
I choosed SAL because I thought that it would arrive safely....
Next time I'm going to get them to shoot the package out of a canon,it's probably safe as regular shipping
He has a faceplate for a FamicomBox and ask if that's a suitable replacement.
Should I go for it or should I wait for a FamicomStation faceplate to turn up?
It can be a long wait as these dosen't grow on trees anymore, right?
Maybe it doesn't matter since the station is dentend and not in mint condition anyway....
I just got a message from the seller.

Personally, I'd hold out and see if he can get you a Famicom Station face plate. I don't see the Station for sale nearly as often as the Box, so it might be hard for you to get another Station if you decide you want one sometime in the future. As long as he's willing to take care of this for you, I'd wait.
