Anyone shopped with https://scaledbeast.com/ before?

I saw one post on Instagram that said they still had not received their order, so I'm a bit hesitant.

I had a quick look at this site. Three things appear strange. First, there is nothing said about the creator of the objects, no personal page or anything. Second, there is nothing said about the materials that are used, like are this resin 3D prints or whatever. Third, there is no postal address given, so you cannot even estimate shipping costs.

Exactly. Lots of red flags there.

Apparently he worked in partnership to create those Tetzoo exclusive dromeosaurs everyone loved. At least according to his facebook page and one Youtube review I found.

I did see in his posts on Instagram he says they are 3D printed but that's about it.  I wanted to pick up a couple of those clear eggs with the baby Rex and hadrosaur in them but it's quite a bit to risk.  It was also odd that putting them in cart together the shipping was almost a third more expensive vs making separate orders?

I do see a lot of Instagram posts asking him to make an Etsy store too. so maybe they are concerned?

The creator is active on Twitter, and has sold his wares at Tetzoocon I believe.

Well respected individuals in the community like Dr Dave Hone and Joschua Knüppe have his products and seem to be satisfied with them.

Ruadhri is based in Dublin Ireland for shipping estimates. I reckon he's open to DMs for any additional questions.

For the second point I'm pretty sure that at least some of the item descriptions say that they are resin prints.

EDIT: Yes, they do say that they are made of resin and 3d printed lol.

I really like the eggs with the skeletons inside, I may order one and see how it goes. I'll order with paypal and if I need coverage they give you a couple months to dispute.
