Default RE: tower is getting slow on shipping

I usually have no problems with Tower Hobbies shipping, but only if you order during the weekday (Mon-Thur), otherwise they wait until the next business day to ship (Fri-Sun). That's why they call it standard shipping, nothing express about it and if you are a Club member, sometimes it does ship faster, sometimes. The only problem I have with Tower Hobbies shipping is the Parts Express for $3.99. They should take the word "express" out of the title, as it takes minimum of 10 days for me to recieve anything via Parts Express, and I've already had about 4 orders where the item was lost in the mail, so they re-shipped it. Recommendations on ordering from Tower - order early in the day, on a Mon, Tue, Wed, or Thur. If you don't get a Parts Express" in 10 business days, call them up for a re-shipment. Also, if you think shipping from their end is bad, just wait until you send something back, it will be weeks before they credit your account.
