Meant to add this in the last post.


I have been a Tower customer for quite a few years, in all my years buying models and items from them I have only had one issue. Thats was a broken wing that was damaged in shipment, a call and they quickly rushed me out another wing no questions asked.

As for the shipping, you get what you pay for. The economy shipping is just that...ECONOMY, apparently some people dont understand what that means.
In most cases it could take up to more than a week to get your package and they usually do not have any tracking available.
Your package will take the longest route and be in shipment for a much longer time, this equals to more chances for your package to get kicked around, pissed on, or whatever.

If you are ordering basic supplies like glow plugs, tools, parts and so forth this method of shipment is fine.
However, if your ordering a $400 truck or model of high value it really does not make sense to ship it the cheapest way.

Use the coupons and specials they offer and get express shipment. You will pay more but you will be able to track you package and it will arrive in a couple of days.
That amounts to less time for the package to get damaged and less time to worry about it.

If you item is on backorder then you can check the towerhobbies website to see the status. If you had shipped with a better quality of service you would also be able to track it right from the site.
