    Having to explain myself more than once....



    Actually FedEx shipping. I purchased a motor on Monday and here is where it has traveled within the greater Los Angeles area (I live 215 miles northwest of there):

    Day 1 - 23 miles to the north.
    Day 2 - 19 miles to the west.
    Day 3 - 36 miles to the east. ??? what's up with that?
    Day 4 - A galaxy far, far away .. (who knows).

    And they call this "Smart Post"... LOL...

        heres one for you, I ordered two seperate items on the same day (Sunday) from two different companies both located in New York, item 1 was shipped out Mon, via UPS. item 2 was sent out on Monday, via USPS which I received the next day. I was amazed one day I didn't even pay for that! However item one according to tracking sat in Ohio till Saturday then its next scan was in Arkansas, then Colorado then to my home a full 9 days later. WTF is up with that????

          i know i now use usps religiously, plus they work on saturdays-so if your waiting anxiously for a part to make it there by the weekend, you can likely get that part for the weekend and not have to wait all weekend long for the people to get back to work on monday

            Not a gripe but may make some of you guys that have shipping gripes cringe. I ordered some football jerseys last wednesday from overseas. They shipped on thursday from Shanghi China on thursday and were at my house in Louisiana on saturday morning 10a.m. I would not believe it if it hadn't happened to me. Never before have I even heard of anything coming from China, getting in and out of customs in San Fransisco, and coming 3/4th of the way across the US in 2 days.

              I want to run a boat really fast for at least 15minutes on a charge without costing a fortune...

                Chief I hear you cost and the need for speed just keeps going up.I think FE boating is a little ahead of itself and the esc debacle is living poof I mean proof

                It erks me that for a real competitive N2 boat I could buy 4 SC10's RTR and start my own club.

                    Customers that pick shipping methods with no insurance, but want insurance when the package is lost. Flame suit on!

                      Waiting 6-8 weeks on special orders that are supposed to be ready in 6-8 weeks... what's up with that?

                      (I want free insured shipping on that, too, please...)

                              I got one, when the wife complains about how many boats you have!

                                I hate when my wife complains so much about the boats it takes the joy out of it.
