Default Problems ordering for Holmes Hobbies?

i'm trying for 2 days to order a BR-XL and a torquemaster Expert 35T and I just cant checkout...paypal keeps telling me that the shipping adress isnt good or something like that.. i've tried the Baxely Georgia and everything but it doesnt seems to work...tried to contact John, his Contact Us section doesnt seems to work and got no answers from my email...any ideas? Is there a trick that I didnt do yet?

Thanks!

this is not a post for the electronics section. he is very, very busy. just be patient. you can also drop him a message on here. lots of us are wanting his product and he is doing what he can to produce it for us. if he answered emails all day nothing else would ever get done.

How long ago did you email him? It may take a day or two to get a response.

Do you have a profile on his site?
I just logged in and ordered 1 BR-XL.
It seems to have gone through w/o any problems.

I do have a profile on the website ;) I know this is the electronic section and i'm kinda speaking about electronic ;) sent him a message 2 days ago...maybe it's because i'm in Canada and not in the US? I know it might seems a bit rushed..but those BR-XL flies out pretty fast!

yes, I have to thank you for starting this thread or I wouldn't have known!

Do you know someone in the US, on RCC, that can order for you and then ship it to you?

no...not exactly...I guess i'll wait for his answer then...and I think sometime they get in stock at TCS crawler as well... maybe I might be lucky and could buy one there...Just wanted to know if I was alone with that problem or if anybody else was experiencing it...

Not true, just added several torquemaster sports and handwound experts in varying turns to my cart. I wonder if the combo's are bundled differently. Would be nice to save a few $$$ getting the combo.

the Sport and Expert are the lower end HH motors.
I should have said the Team Editions are out... sorry about that.
