Where not to buy parts
Hey guys,
The mail man delivered the parts for my titan today... After waiting TWO weeks for them. I wondered if they were lost in the mail? "No, the mail-man says. We only received this package three days ago." Well that makes sense. (I paid extra for three day shipping)
As I put the knife to the package I think, "I bet I'm gettin' the wrong parts too." SURE enough! Two sets of rod guides I don't need, a header tank made my cermark not TT, and most importanly, 90size mixing levers for my 50size titan! AHHHHH
I ask myself. How do you own a hobby shop and mess up an order this bad?? Ok, so you mess the order up, why wait 11days to put it in the mail?
I feel guilty for being so mad, after all it is a Model Helicopter. In another 7days I'll have my parts and just be force to play realflight.....
But I'm still mad.

Does anyone know a good east coast Raptor dealer? I love heliproz, it just takes so long for parts to get to PA.

RE: Where not to buy parts
www.grandrc.com ships the same day usps priority from CA and I have my stuff in 3 days in VA. I've actually ordered from there on a Saturday morning and got my stuff that Monday. Ricks is also fast.
