Default GREAT HOBBIES proving to be irresponsible

I am not happy with the way Great Hobbies is treating my attempt to make a purchase.
Does anyone know where else I can purchase online . . .
1) clear and colored and non-tautening Butyrate dope,
2) clear Nitrate dope,
3) thinner for all the dopes,
4) and matching paint that is safe for cowls?

And what else would I need to complete this project?
I want to be able to purchase them all from the same provider.

Anyone else have any complaints regarding Great Hobbies?

It looks to me like Towerhobbies.com has all of the stuff you are looking for.

I bought something from Great Hobbies last year without problems but [link=http://towerhobbies.com]Tower Hobbies[/link] is one of the best places to buy online.

Sig for your dope and Nelson's for the matching paint. They are more expensive than Tower though.

Yes just found out it IS in Canada. Good thing I canceled the order, it would have cost a fortune to ship them.

Thank you for the info.

I will be going with SIG.

Not sure what the problem is, but I know that shipping Hazmat items accross the border is super complex.
Having said that, I have ordered from Great Hobbies and I am happy with them.
As a side note, shipping from Canada to the US is not terribly expensive. Actually, it is cheaper than shipping to most locations within Canada.

Best o' luck!
