I didn't know you had a vendor thread here (a very nice guy on another forum let me know) but I received an email from Dave at RMV letting me know about this. I ordered the simple kit and I'm 100% fine with getting an opened full kit with the tank removed. It's very good to see that you have a disclaimer on the product page. That's critical.I want to get some feedback here. We ordered the mod kit and the full kit with the melo 3 mini. The mod kit got delayed but we got a lot of full kits in this Monday.
I decided to turn full kits into mod kits by taking out the melo 3 mini since i knew the mod kits were in a lot more demand and I know I can sell the melo 3 mini over time.
I got a complaint last night from a customer who got theirs yesterday and it made me second guess this decision.
Do you guys care if the plastic wrap is off so we can take the tank out? We are still giving everything that comes in the kit along with the kit box.
I was wondering if I should pull the simple kits today since the simple kit shipment seems to be held up, but I do have plenty of full kits to keep going.
It's easy to see how getting a preopened box could be upsetting for someone buying this mod to give as a gift, but otherwise it should be okay. This was my first time placing an order with RMV and I chose you because no other US vendor had the mod only in stock. Yes, some people will be put off, but most will be fine, even thankful for the early availability and great deal. I hope to be a repeat customer. I never would've checked your site if you hadn't broken the full kits to sell the simple kit.
If you stop breaking up the full kits I certainly wouldn't blame you. It might be harder to sell a boatload of Melo 3 tanks without the box than it is to sell the mods with an open box.
