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[]. Can you help us.

nitrostaff1

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

Thanks for being patient.

Thanks

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.
Pleas reply to

nitrostaff1

Hi,

sorry we currently do not have shipping to england yet. We are working to setup shipping direct from china so we'll keep you guy posted.

Thanks

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.

Due to the lack of 'available' ARF's on Nitroplanes website... I checked out TexasRCPlanes.com... and was pleased to find they had a good selection. Shipping is cheap, hope for some type of overseas quality, but grabbed a super sporter to muck around with.

You guys have to do something about keeping planes in stock! I mean 90% of your stuff is 'out of stock' and that's sad!

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[]

nitrostaff1

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.

Hello Glidescope R/C sells many of the same models and they ship to Austraila glidescoperc.com good luck.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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...

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

Is there anyone in Canada who sells Nitroplanes models? I wanna get some giant scale planes but I don't wanna pay the extravegant exchange rates. Shipping alone would be hell lol....

nitrostaff1

but you are not in the US market so it's different. It's impossible to do this here in the USA.
