|  Tower Hobbies
Has any one else ever had any shipping problems from Tower? I ordered my things on the 18th and have yet to recive them. I have called and they said that i have to wait 30 days before they consider it lost. My dad ordered some holley carbs and spark arrestors (for the boat) on monday and we got those today so WTF??? I guess i just have to wait until the 18 and call them again.

I buy from them all the time and have yet to have a problem. The only little thing that went wrong, was a pair of drag stlye O-ring front wheels I ordered only came with one of the O-ring tires in the pack. I called and they sent me a whole new set, no questions asked. It wasn't even really towers fault, it was Bolink's since they packaged them. I'd recommend Tower to anyone! |

The joys of shipping to Alaska. I stay away from Tower just for that reason. Might as well consider shipping to AK is the same as shipping to China as far as Tower's concerned. I buy 90% of my junk from Stormer Hobbies and haven't had a problem yet. They specialize is international shipping so I figure they could handle shipping to Alaska  |

I've ordered a couple things from them. I only had a problem once, they shipped the package to my next door neighbor somehow. It took 3 weeks before he saw me out driving and said, "Hey, I bet this belongs to you" and gave me my long awaited servo

I live in Illinois where one of there distribution centers are so i get next day service almost every time. I have probably ordered from them 100 times with only one issue. I got someones returned & fried Rebel 2. It had obviously been opened and returned. Some of the stickers were missing, etc. It was also fried! I asked to return it to tower and they said "Tekin insists getting broken items returned to them" I thought it was going to be a fight with tekin, but they fixed it and returned under warranty in 6 days total time!!! |

Did you get a shipping notification email? I have always gotten one from them on every order, with a tracking number.

ive ordered from towerhobbies over 15 times and never once had a problem, as a matter of fact they are suberb, i always get overnight packages the next day, even if im past the cutoff time. maybe its because you live in alaska, and the mailman got lost in a snowstorm. |

Did you check and make sure the parts weren't on backorder. This is probably a stupid question but I gotta ask.

I have placed several orders with Tower and never had any problems other than the extremely long wait for items on backorder to ship. Did you place your order via the website, catalog or phone? If you ordered through their site, login and check the order status. The order details will also have your package tracking information so you can see where the hell the package is in transit. |

As far as Tower, Ive placed a few orders, but never had a problem. But I tend to get used to the fact that I have to wait longer for my stuff. I recently ordered a case of tlts from ultimate, ended up being just under $90 for shipping :( cloud of shipped that priority for under $50, insured and tracked. | |

But i geuss i spoke too soon cuz today i woke up to find my package on my doorstep. i ordered it over their web site and they did send me an e-mail with a conformation number but they didnt ship it ups they shiped it usps and i didnt kno that. oh well im happy. |
