I've always had good luck with tower. Usually you can find better prices elsewhere, but they carry a lot and are good to deal wtih.

Tower is good for everyone that doesn't live in IL, I live in IL so I have to pay sales tax which really sucks. [&o] However, besides that, Tower is absolutely terrific to deal with, and they ship pretty quickly.

it really depends on how far away you are. when the stuff i order comes out of IL, it takes about 4 to 5 days to get to arizona (total), but when it comes from reno, it only takes about 2 to 3 days total to get to my house.

I have been dealing with them for over 6 years. I live in Georgia and they shipped an order Tuesday and it is scheduled to be here tomorrow. I did have one shipment that got delayed by the mail and it took 11 days. I have had a couple of problems but they have all ways made it more then right. If I had the money I spent there in the last 6 years I could buy a new full size car. All and all I think they are one of the best online stores.

I've been buying from tower for many years and have always been very pleased with the service. One time they did mess up my order but were so helpful in getting the missing part to me in time for the next race day, sent it overnight on their dime and also got money off and free shipping on my next order. I live in MN and it never takes more than 3 days for to get a order, plus their $3.99 parts express shipping is a great deal.

I don't want to know how much I have spent at Tower. I've been ordering from them long before the internet and online shopping. Used to just thumb through the catalogue and call them up.
