No I haven't contacted them about the shipment. I only contacted them when I wanted to change my order which they said they would do.

Would I like to get the plane now? Sure I would, it would be great if the plane got here in a day or so; or within the 3-4 weeks as on their website. I'm not at the point where I am upset that it's not here already. I have had to wait for stuff to arrive that was late getting here. I really hate it when you order a part for something only to get the wrong one or to find out it doesn't fit like you were told it would. I have had things come in from China/Taiwan that I had to wait for time longer then expected.

Have you called to find out if they shipped YOUR order yet?

As far as charging your credit card; some companies charge when you make the order and some wait until they ship the product. I guess if you wanted to wait until they had stock available then place your order you would feel better. Sure, Tower puts on their site if they have the products in stock or not. Some places don't let you know that until you place the order. I think it depends on the size of the company, it cost money to have someone there to update the website everyday with what ever info you want. They have four planes, I'm thinking a small company that wants to keep the cost down so they can make the most money. Business 101; lower overhead = more profit.

I understand you're upset about the fluctuation in prices but again, that's business. If you're that upset over them changing prices every few months you must be outraged about the oil companies changing them a few times a DAY.
