One indisputable fact about Mighty Ape is how fantastic their Daily Deals are. They have such a wide range of products catering to the niche, geeky culture of which we don't have a lot of online shopping options to choose from in Australia. I like that you can find things as nostalgic as collectible car and train models to very recent Batman figurines and YuGiOh! memorabilia - for reasonable prices too!
I must say though, their shipping, whilst within the boundaries of their stated shipping period, was not as prompt as I expected.
In this order, I purchased a DVD Box Set that was on a specially marked down price. It took about 2-3 weeks to arrive, and by the time it did I was actually surprised because I had forgotten all about it.
Their packaging isn't very flashy either. When I had bought a series of plush toys the previous year, they arrived in a cardboard box. That was it. Perhaps this is to help save costs on shipping - and this I can appreciate, however I did not find it a very secure method of packaging as the DVDs I later bought also arrived in identical fashion.
They're fairly prompt in responding to inquiries via email, however, so in this respect you're at least able to chase up and get answers without too much of a headache.
