In my opinion tower's s/h charges are nothing, the lowest ground shipping is $5 and I receive the ordered items in 2 days. Allways.

Their club membership of $15 is great, since it doesnt charge for the s/h on orders above $150,

Plus they have a $15 off coupon which you can apply to orders more than $150, How about this.

make an order for $150 buy the membership for $15 and apply $15 off coupon. free s/h, then make an order for +150 apply coupon and $135 no s/h repaet this for the remaining $150

You will end up paying only $420 including s/h and membersip, no tax, fast shipment. Also note hat they add an extra servo for free with Futaba radio's that might work for you.

I do that very often as long as I can make $150 I love $15 off coupon. You can understand form the reply that I am also a fatwallet.com member. buy everything with copouns.

I couldn't find any LHS that can match Tower on prices, if they do tax is killing. I only buy fuel from LHS since Tower's cheapper (FEDEX) charges $20 fee for fuels.
