Thanks, yes happy to have it & the wait was fine, I expected it. I really just wanted to bring these shipping issues into light to help others possibly avoid these problems, delays........Paypal claims. I highly recommend UPS or Fed Ex until they get there stuff together. Crazy thing is I ordered a 61? hull from Mhz 10 days after this hull & it came 5 days sooner, from Germany. That should not be the case.Comment

I've been meaning to bring this up myself; pardon the hi-jack BUT YES - after shipping worldwide but mostly domestic for years (I use a professional shipper/boxer) I've been advised by my shipper that USPS should be avoided - rates have gone way up so He's been finding me better deals on FedEx. Even so I've been lowering my selling prices to help compensate my customers for the increased shipping.
BTW I almost jumped on the Rico deal - they're way cool hulls* - be sure to post some build photos & run vid's

Also watch out for FedEx. A buddy of mine had a package literally sit at the same warehouse/depot he works at for almost a month. Then we he called and complained/bitched them out he recieved it but it looked like this: FB_IMG_1598574191729.jpgTommy Levescy sponsored by: RCJuice.com, Rawspeed, Scorpion Precision Performance, TC Racing, Triton RC, Oxidean Marine and Cencal Hobbies.

I bought two ABC props from Walt Barney and they got to me in 2 weeks in Canada. I'd say I've had no problem with USPS.
I bought 2 things from China and good luck with those things.... Been waiting over a monthNortavlag Bulc

When I was sprucing up a boat for sale I ordered some locally out-of-stock colored silicone tubing from Bangood in China. I filed a paypal claim after 90 days with no tubing. It came the next day.2008 NAMBA P-Mono & P-Offshore Nat'l 2-Lap Record Holder; '15 P-Cat, P-Ltd Cat 2-Lap
