March Mayhem discounts from Zavvi!

Is Zavvi reliable now (UK)? I was having problems with them during the end of 2021. They had taken the money but would not send the item, even a month+ later, multiple other people were having similar issues

If they're back on track now though, that Hogwarts castle looks mega tempting

I've ordered multiple things from Zavi and only one took a while, given that it had to cross an ocean during Covid, I was impressed. In fact, grateful, as it was the only way to get a 501st Battlepack into the country !

They ranged from an R2D2, to the UCS gunship, to a Battlepack.

Never had a problem, maybe I've been lucky ?

You've been lucky.

Wow, that is not very impressive!

In Canada, their prices are so ridiculously inflated that even with a 20%-30% rebate, their prices are still significantly more expensive than directly from Lego.com except for one or two exceptions. Given their reputation, I'll give it a miss.

I'd personally 100% recommend them. I've ordered from them about 6-7 times and find them great value and each item except the last one was delivered w/in 2 weeks, including high-priced sets. The last item (Statue of Liberty) took about 6 weeks but when I reached out to customer service (after two emails letting me know about delays) they responded w/in a day and then to my response in another day so no qualms there. I'm definitely picking up a couple of sets from this sales batch.

I've ordered approximately 12 sets from Zavvi over the past two years. Always have arrived in a timely manner and packed well. No issues whatsoever.

I have made 3 orders of about 10 sets with them. They've all eventually arrived at my doorstep. Sometimes it takes a while, like 2 weeks. But they are eventually there.

Maybe - but 8 times lucky is ok with me. Amazon's packing on the other hand... now that's dodgy as.

I just ordered the D11 yesterday and got a bonus $30.00 off for spending more then $300 so an $80.00 discount. I also order the McLaren on release day and had it quicker then Lego shipping.

I order a lot from them and right now I usually get the order within 7 days to the US. Nov-Jan shipping was rough but most of that was due to the DHL meltdown at their US hub DHL had totally come unglued and could not move anything in a timely manner. Now shipping to the US is with FedEx and once they receive it 3-4 days later I have it. I have only had one out of the last 10 or so orders that had substantial damage to it. I highly recommend them.

And another thing I like about Zavvi, here in the US many times sets release a month or two after Europe but can get them shipped here as soon as they release in Europe, including 2 blue Fiats.

Zaavi makes great pancakes.
Delivery or LEGO however is suspect.
I can't believe these clowns are even a sponsor.

My Lego order arrived this morning only 5 days after I ordered it from Zavvi in the UK. No problems, it was my first order with Zavvi and having read the negative comments above I was rather concerned about it, but thankfully all was OK. I feel sorry for those who have not had the experience that I had.
