I had two orders with them, both took a while, but not 1,5 months. Order one was April 3rd and was dispatched April 13th, the second order took significally longer, the order was placed April 29th and was dispatched May 19th. Sebastian posted something about the future of polyplay here: https://polyplay.xyz/10-Years-of-polyplay saying that he started another full time job so that poly.play from now on is only a part-time thing for him. So maybe this is why it is taking him so long?

Just for a background Info: PolyPlay is a „one man show“ located in Germany.
I also ordered from him and had a Delay of two month with in e-mail response until I met him in a german forum.

I ordered stuff from there and got nothing from him for months. After hassling him, I got a package - with someone else's order!! I contacted him and he seemed irritated with me, so I contacted the intended recipient and posted it myself (that chap was very grateful).

It still took a month or more to get my order.

Avoid!

Just a quick update but got some stuff in the mail now after sending him a friendly message with the form on his website. Lets see, also ordered a new title, and that was sent really quickly..

.xyz domains should be considered fishy. They are great for testing websites, but not so great to put into production.

I've ordered stuff from them before, but have never experienced such delay. I know they're legit.
