Default Advantage Hobbies?

Hello All,

I'd like to hear about experiences with this company. I've never ordered from them, and being extra cautious since they are offering 2% of member purchases back to our club for raffle prizes, etc. Don't want to send our members to a bum company.

Thanks!

I posted the same question a while back, and all the responses were positive. I have not ordered yet, but I sure like the FREE shipping.

Thanks Terry, I did do a search before posting but only came up with one negative result, so I figured I'd ask (again as it turns out).

OK, I just placed a small order for a few Blade CP parts. Their parts all seem to have a small discount, plus I got a "new customer" discount of an additional 5%, and "FREE" shipping. It's free ground shipping, so I am sure its USPS Parcel Post, but hey, I'm not in a big hurry.
I will post back with the results.

The "free" shipping does not apply to 'oversize' items such as ARFs.

I met the Advantage Hobbies guys in Toledo and I have placed a few orders with them. Not only was the service, shipment, etc. excellent, but also I really like how well their website works.

I give them [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]
