KioIII....DUDE....you need to chill out. You'll end up having a heart attack BEFORE your package arrives and I'll have to claim it after your funeral. LOL

Rare

Rare

Ive bought stuff of tower and they always arive on time but you shouldnt worried they are a responsible company you can always give them a call and they can see if your package has been shiped out .

No....I haven't been through something like this..... Of course, I'm a little different(no pun intended)...I usually just order it and then do something else. One day, before you know it, the UPS guy is wanting my autograph. I can imagine the prices in Hawaii....my uncle just got back from there on vacation. I want to see the pearl harbor memorial someday.....those boys deserve our respects. Anyway, I used to use Tower all the time. However, recently a new hobby shop has opened not far from here...and he's done a reall good job at staying competitive. Not to mention, I like a store showroom anyway. If we keep supporting him, he promises to put in an R/C offroad track in the lot behind the store. Sounds fun to me.

Mine came like two days after the last date that was expected that they gave me. Also the parts were coming from champaign which is 5 hours away, I sort of got mad that they took so long but they came. Nothing to worry...maybe the mailman got stuck in the snow along the way.

I think you need to chill out, as ob1n said you're liable to have heart attack before your package gets here [X(]

Seriously though, I think we've all had at least one package arrive after the expected arrival date, it's deffinately not uncommon anyways. Mine come late all the time, in fact UPS is nearly always a day late for me. IMHO DHL is the best shipping service, most of the time my stuff actually comes earlier than the expected arrival date. Too bad tower doesn't have them as an option.

Hopefully my stuff comes from the Reno facility. I'm just over here in So. Cal. I placed the order saturday, which means that it was processed today. If I'm lucky I'll get it by the end of the week. [8D]

Well I dont order from tower, but I often get things on time from when I buy on ebay, it just depends on what shipping you got and how far away they are.

Rare

yeah i ordered something from e-bay 3 days after i ordered stuff from tower.....and i got that e-bay item in a week

-Inverted-

It basicly comes down to, do you want it now (next day, 2-3 day) or do you wanna keep the costs down but wait (priority, ground).

Doahh

oops duh... 2 hours from reno but 8 from disneyland XD

Nope. How much?

Yeah, I bought a Savage here on RCU and the truck came in a week, but about all of the parts were missing Well, a good portion of them. Contacted the seller, got my truck up and running 6 WEEKS later.

Jeez! 8 hours to Disneyland? 15 min. drive to Knotts and 20-25 min. drive to Disneyland from my house.[8D] Lucky? I think not!

lol Im only kidding, I guess I am pretty lucky. Especially considering my High School has our Sadie Hawkins dance at Knotts. We get the park to ourselves for the entire night![8D]

I live in Toronto Canada, so I'm assuming my wait times will be similar to yours. Although at times I've received my package SUPER SPEEDY (i'm talking one week which is fast for stuff crossing the border) most of my orders take longer. For example, for the above order, I just received it yesterday. As for box size, it was just a bunch of parts, so it was about half the size of an evader box (approx).

So again, 2.5 weeks is about average for me, and I'd expect your wait times would be similar.

gunnut

Did your box come today KIO?

Rare

NO[]

EDIT:thursday makes 2 weeks.....so if i dont get it by then....im gonna be pretty mad......Tower says it usually takes 2 weeks to get to hawaii......[&o][]....i sure hope so![]

Rare

-Inverted-

My package im waiting for never came so I now have store credit to buy whatever I feel....

woulden't worry about it bro, I live in Korea and have to order from Tower alot cause the prices here are ridiculus. I've had packages take 3 weeks to a month to get here...but they always come, so in my experiances its quite normal..

Rare

korea?...wow....well it makes me feel better knowing i aint the only one that has to wait so long.....
