I ordered a radio from them earlier this month and got it in two business days because that is the type of shipping I paid for. They use Fed Ex, at least that is how my shipment arrived. Overall my experience was good and they were cheaper then Tower by a about $10.

I must first say, support your LHS when and if you can. My LHS is severly lacking on in stock items but he can order just about anything. But if I need an item in a real hury I go online and purchase it.
Tower is a good place to buy things online and so is Hobby People. There are a lot of great places to buy online but I tend to stick with the ones that advertise in RCCA.
Just my thoughts,

Yeah, Jerry is right. Always support your LHS or they might go out of buisness.So when your engine needs help.....

I third in saying support your LHS. Mines the same as Jerry's; they don't stock a lot because its a small store but they can order anything and I do mean anything RC related. Plus its usually there within 5 days or so-almost beats online stores. Just try to support your LHS as much as possible. Without them this hobby never would have gotten to the point that it is.

I don't want to support my LHS, I order from tower only, unless I go to another place which is more expensive, but the people are nice and the shop is really nice (they even have an indoor carpet track). At my LHS, the guy is a real dirt bag. He treats people like idiots, he has out of date & overpriced merchandise, and he doesn't know anything about RC. I asked to see stock motors, and he looked at me like I had 2 heads.

So I do all my shopping from Tower. No problems yet.

Throttle Hapie,
Unfortunately your experience isn't uncommon. I don't support going to your LHS just because it is a LHS. They need to be worth going to but I am a supporter of LHSs that actually do care about thier customers. If you use the carpet track and want to keep using it I would suggest, only my opinion, at least buying your basic supplys that are cheaper then the S&H charges like CA, Thread Lock, Nitro Fuel, or things along that line. I am not going to order glow plugs online because they are about $3.50 each and shipping is around $6.99. I live in a Town/City of about 100,000 people and we don't have but one LHS and he has the only track. Unfortunately it is a dirt oval an I don't have a dirt oval car. I am not going to tear up my L3O on his track. :)
Well I think we have taken this off the subject far enough. :D Hobby People and Tower are both fine companies to buy from and very few have had any real problems.
