My experience is the exact opposite. When I order from RPP, I will get an email the next day saying that it has shipped but it takes another 1 to 2 days before it is even picked up plus another 3 or 4 to get over to GA.

Same here.

I live close to California and use the Ontrac delivery option.

I’ve had stuff show up 36 hours after I ordered it from Amain

I live in SOUTH Florida.......Not near mousetown and about an hour from Miami. I rarely go priority on orders, If I order by Friday night, I will have goodies usually by Thursday. If I was in mousetown, 3 day first class is common. RPP has shipped a day quicker on average, BUT you pay a bit more for it.
A Main customer service has always been timely and accurate, never any arguing.

Thanks Jonah and crew!

I had a look but ordering through RC Mart is still cheaper for me because shipping to The Netherlands from kayhobbies is € 13,50. There's nothing kayhobbies can do about that I suppose. As for $ vs. €... $ 29,99 is € 29,99 with kayhobbies whereas 1 EUR = 1,0861 USD with RC Mart

I take back everything good I said about Amain shipping. I placed an order and they used that garbage UPS Surepost shipping. I placed the order on the 13th, got a tracking number on the 14th and here 8 days later the tracking has not updated and the package hasn't arrived.

That surepost shipping is awful. Doesn't matter who ships it, it always takes forever. I get stuff from China faster...

You choose your shipping at AMain........surepost is the cheapest option, for a reason

This is the first time they have ever screwed me. Every other order I have placed was shipped USPS.
