Crashtruk -> We can't buy Nitromodels (6/27/2007 5:29:38 AM)

Hi again
The hobby shop that sold Nitromodels planes here in Australia has just closed down (TopRC.com) Everybody I know at my club is raving about the value for money and quality of these ARF's. There is nothing like the Nitromodels range here. I really hope that you start shipping to Australia soon. I have the Pitts 40 and the 60 size Mustang and both are really good value. I would like a Bobcat next[8D]. I can no longer buy your models here in Australia[:o]. Can you help us.



nitrostaff1 -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (6/28/2007 10:52:22 PM)

Yes we are working on it. We are shipping ARF model sometime soon directly from china to other countries.

Thanks for being patient.

Thanks

Try these guy's, looks like same models -->http://texasrcplanes.com/

Sir , have you any Nitromodels distributors in England?
I was in the process of ordering a Cessna when I noticed the postage costs were more than the cost of the model.
I am sure you would get a favourable response from modellers in this country.

Yes that's how much it cost to ship to the rest of the world from USA via USPS airmail. Fedex and UPS even cost more. USPS has the cheapest price but have size restrictions. Only most size 25 or smaller planes can be shipped.

malavivius -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (7/29/2007 11:29:15 AM)

i was lucky to get around this postage problem.
I bought the 50 size cessna and had it delivered to a container yard in Seattle, where i know someone who ships cars down to Australia, so got it put in a car and got a free ride to me.
The down side is i ordered it in May but i'm still waiting to get it, expected early August. And ofcourse if it's damaged during transport it's my loss.

fingers crossed[:o]



nitrostaff1 -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (7/30/2007 10:01:16 PM)

I'm sure there would not be damages because UPS from California to Seattle rarely have problem compared to east coast.

Thanks

Nope these guys won't ship Australia either. looks like I will have to import from Singapore Hobbies, they sell phoenix ARF's. Nitromodels please, your range is much more extensive. Everybody at my club wants to know where to by your models when they see my Pitts and my Mustang 60. I can't wait to be able to buy your models here in Oz.[;)]



Crashtruk -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (11/6/2007 12:21:32 AM)

How is the shipping issue comming along? Retailers are selling limited Nitromodels products here in Australia but at very inflated prices. I guess Australia is not a priority for you guys. How can I get your products? I want to buy them! I want to give you my money! Please help me!

Still waiting 9 months later[:'(]. I can ship a 60 size mustang from Hong Kong for $70. But I want a Nitroplanes Mustang. Cmon dudes. Go international it's good for bussiness. I will wait here patiently and try not to get frustrated.[:D]



twinbrother -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (3/3/2008 10:13:09 PM)

I would be cautious into believing anything that Nitroplanes.com tells you. The customer service rep told me one thing, and then gave me different information 3 days later. That's after I did everything he told me to do regarding a defective item. Now I'm stuck and out $200 with no recourse. I was told by Nitrostaff1 that they would be improving their customer service and RC products. This was almost 2 years ago. Apparently, it didn't happen. And their Better Business Bureau rating on bbb.com is an "F" rating. It's and "F" for a reason, aka Raiden Tech, their main company.



nitrostaff1 -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (3/3/2008 11:54:39 PM)

It's not about priorities here. We are online companies and we want to do business worldwide but please considered the shipping. What do you think the cost of shipping to austrialia is?

try www.ups.com or fedex.com and see for yourself and that i'm not BSing.

An ARF plane is the about box and not the weight. USPS does not want to take packages that's 108" combined length and grid. USP and fedex charge $500+ shipping on average.

Sorry we want to do business but we can't

nitrostaff1 -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (3/3/2008 11:56:41 PM)

Yes you are right it's F for a reason because we choose not to pay those ppl. BBB is not an government organization.

Tell me do all happy customers file a positive report with BBB?

Who wants to pay this kind of shipping? The only way to go is NP setting up a office in china and ship from there but it's not ready yet.

Crashtruk -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (3/4/2008 1:20:38 AM)

It's ok I do understand. If Nitromodels weren't such good value I wouln't care, but they are very good models for the price. Perhaps I should import a container load myself from China and sell them here in Australia. They would sell like hot cakes. I just don't have that sort of money up front. I do see Nitromodels here from time to time in dribs and drabs but not in any great quantities. Good luck with everything, I hope I can one day buy your products.[;)]



nitrostaff1 -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (3/4/2008 1:27:09 AM)

Hi Buddy,

We are working to setup shipping from china so that the total deal is more resonable. will let you know. Like you said $70 from china to AU is more reasonable. Thanks

Crashtruk -> RE: We can't buy Nitromodels (4/29/2008 11:13:26 PM)

I just got a Nitro models/ TM/ Flymodel 60 size ARF here in Australia for $99 plus $89 shipping from HK (which is now in China). I have also refered this store to clubmates and they have buying them as well. You website still has...

Note for International Buyers - If you are located outside of the United States/Canada, and wish to order one of our Nitro Planes, please note that any size 40 or above ARF Planes are unable to ship outside of the United States and Canada. Please consider 15 to 25 size model planes or other smaller size goods. We value your business! You may consider ordering electric planes or helicopters! : )


I have been buying these models from HK and selling them on *bay at a profit even with the shipping costs.
