RE: FLy Eagle Jet Models
Hi Guys,
We are now receiving our planes from Fly Eagle, but we found that their shipping box is too flimsy to go by UPS when they arrive at the USA. We know how UPS deliver our planes. It would be a nightmare to deal with. The F-15 box is also over sized for reasonable ground shipping cost within the Gerth.
One of my company's container is going out in a couple of days. I will load up these planes in the original FE boxes to the container for our local California Pick up. However, for the East Coast guys, I really feel the need to make a new shipping box for each one of them. I had told them to hold off the delivery until they repack the planes properly. Here are some photos of the damages from one plane delivered to Europe for our club member there by UPS AIR directly from FE factory. I will talk to my crew and ask them to come up with better packaging. FE is great in service and agreed to replace the products, but it's just a hassle to deal with the exchanges.
Mike
