|  Painfull moments...
This was supposed to be my CC-01 build/tech thread. I've owned over 40 different Tamiya rigs since '83, and was excited about this re-release. When they went away last month, I had to snatch one up. I got one out of Hong Kong finally,,,and this is what happens when you put your faith in USPS.. I know, I know, nobody's perfect, but this seems to happen quite a bit anymore......  I can fix it. But it still hurts. I tried to file a claim, and they said that since it's not in production anymore that I'd have to give up the whole kit and they would just refund my money. eh?? I got bent and said, "What makes you think you have a right to my item? I paid you for a shipping service. I didn't buy this from you." Well, she just looked at me. Anyway, just had to vent a little. I was really looking forward to this being a pleasant build for my son. Last edited by NeroWolfe; 10-31-2009 at 12:52 PM. Reason: fix the pic link |

That really does suck bro! I say get another body to replace that one. Then you can hack the one USPS started on!

Thanks Chino..I did just that. Luckily RPP had one. Should be here in a few days. I used to be such a "stocker" when it came to building them, but i've become more bold lately. Got several in the works.. all of them Mini-me's of my 1:1's Hopefully will be posting threads up soon in the 1.9 section. Then this one's next. I think the little guy will have fun building it with me.

FYI, I live just south of CKRC in the same state. I have had orders get to me in one full weeks time. In comparison, I have ordered from Tower Hobbies, who has a shipping center in Reno, NV (where CKRC is located), and it gets to me NEXT day without paying for upgraded shipping service. Getting your product on time starts with the hobby shop!!! Last edited by difflocker; 11-01-2009 at 07:15 AM. | |

Damn that sucks to see. That's why I over-pack stuff when I ship it. Just to be safe. I've had a few broken things from USPS. The worst was a rare LP that came smashed into pieces. It was like someone shot an arrow through it. They basically told me to "get f***ed" when I tried to file a claim. There is no such thing as fragile when it comes to postage. Good luck with the build |
