package has only one week since order but i was told it would be here 3 days ago ,, and i cant get a hold of no one there

sure is a little harsh since it has been such a short time. a lot of these companies run it as a side business and are a little tough to get a hold of. i have heard of no one ripped off from great northern at all. if this one gets under your skin, wait till you order from some of the others. some are nails on and others are not. it is what it is. there isnt enough money in the hobby to have a public relation person etc. they are mom and pop with a life away from the phone. good luck, barry

well when i order somthing IT MEANS I ORDED SOMEHTING, besides i called the guy and told him to cancel my order if he could not do it by last weekend,, he said no i can get it to you by then [>:]

HI, Ed has been away, supporting all the Jet guys at Ohio Jets, you might try being a little less loud.

I will second that!

The worst company I have ever dealt with in 40 years of modeling. It took over three weeks and many un-answered e-mails and phone calls to get only two of the four items I ordered! I cancelled the two back orders and would never order from them again!!

same here i could have had what i needed but he insistead[:@]

I just got this email"Hi Gilbert

My apologies. I got word this afternoon that they had been returned to our Niagara Falls warehouse by USPS. I don't know why yet, but will find out tomorrow and get them back on their way.

Sincerely,"


i sent him an email back "please refund my money"

I would hope that my word on this site would have a little creedance considering I buy about $15,000 to $20,000 a year from the various business' that support our hobby. I have seen the very best (Dreamworks, BVM, Artes, and others) to the mediocre, and the worst (Planes Plus).

I have dined with Kevin and Ed, empathized with them during their various family tragedies over the years ( a lost pregnancy, and a lost family member) and I have sent them all the business that made sense for me to give them, and they have come through with some pretty weird requests from me.

There is no question in my mind that they are people of integrity.

And while every now and then, one of us might not get the best of deals, or treated the best, or even fairly, I think it is grossly unfair to come on here and try to sway RCU Readers from using Great Northern as a resource for our little segment of the hobby.

If you need something that bad, call one of your jet buds, or put something up on RCU asking to borrow that something.

At any given time I've got hundreds of dollars of hobby stuff out on loan to my friends, a few of them might come right in this thread and tell you that they are said friends. You might be surprised how asking for help amongst those in these forums might get you everything you need. And most, in return, all they want is for you to pay it forward.

I hope you consider what I've written here, apologize to GNM, and tell me what you need, or had ordered, I might have it here and I'll overnight it to you on loan, and if it makes sense, I might just give it to you, as some have done for me.

I agree with most of the posters above - give them a break. You can't always attend jet flies and pack orders simultaneously. This niche of the hobby is too small to start making enemies. [8D]

O' geee,, i feel bad please everyone order form great northern models sorry ED

..........That's good. Sometimes it's better to "loose" certain types of customers..........At least that's what I learned a long time ago.

I've dealt with Great Northern for many years and I have been pleased with their performance. Some of the merchandise that they offer is a little hard to get from their supplier consistently. On top of all this, GNM is a side business. You can't expect ANYBODY to support a family with a few orders a week. Chill out my friend, Ed is a good guy.....For a Canadian

Tailwinds,

John

With that out of the way, what is it you need?

a thesaurus comes to mind....

thanks sean your an outsanding guy i would not dare take anything from you i will wait another two weeks for a day off so i can fly/crash

Sean, You are an absolutely stand up guy !! For some odd reason, there are some real incredible modelers from Texas who have helped me out of the blue without having ever met me !!! Being a business owner myself, I am fully aware of delays and sometimes life just gets in the way of my hobby. Relax a bit , listen to what Sean said and reply !! Eric

sorry i'm half mexican and the other half ,,,mexican

i new i would get this kind treatment from you jet guys,, always better than any other airplan,heli flyer

what do you expect, piston? try being a bit less abrasive to people who are willing to help...

oll right Pumkin [8D]

check your thesaurus/dictionary - it's spelled pumpkin

Calabasa is this correct

anyway Mr. Ed has called, i told him to refund my money. im hoping he dont forget.

Whats so bad about heli guys? I have been a heli nut longer than a jet jock....
