Default RE: Warning about Tower Hobbies

25 years with Tower and nothing but great service until this week. My priority shipment will take no less than 6 days. It took 3 days to process the order before it shipped. And now it appears another 3 days for USPS priority shipping. They did refund the fee for priority shipping. But, for an E-business that lives and dies on prompt shipping, and to the RC community which often needs parts yesterday, this type of delay is not acceptable. I fear I might be witnessing the beginning of the end of a giant that revolutionized RC in this country. The door is open. If another distributor should gain such a sterling reputation as Tower once had, then I can imagine their customers being loured away, one by one. It happens, ask IBM.
