Caveat Emptor

It does seem too good to be true. Quite a bargain.

After using the Swap Shop for many years myself I have seen many goods deals come & go. Been watching for something exactly like this for a little while, happy to be the first “I’ll take it” in contact with seller just waiting for shipping quote so I can complete payment.

Darn, always late for the party...what a deal!

[Hi8iS]

Payment sent via Paypal. Thanks Rick!

Thanks for the update. I will let you know when It arrives.

Thanks for the update. I will let you know when It arrives.

1st half of the shipment arrived safely. Thanks! Having a mail order business myself I have experienced longer delays on larger packages. I?m sure that is the case with the hull. I will let you know once it arrives.

[Hi8iS]

The hull & the rest of the items arrived today. Exactly 20 days & that is not even that bad. I have 2 domestic packages that have eclipsed 30 days. I highly, highly recommend avoiding the USPS while Donald Dumbp is sabotaging it! I have run a mail order business for over 20 years & have never encountered anything even close to this. I currently have almost $400 tied up in Paypal claims due to packages not arriving on time & just sitting with no tracking updates. Newly appointed (by Dumbp) Louis DeJoy is literally ruining the Post Office by design. I generally try to avoid politics, but when your presidents actions directly effect you in such a negative manner it’s hard to ignore.......

Well, glad you got safe and sound. . .you got a great deal

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.

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

*I remember at the 2008(?) NAMBA Nat's that Mike Martin & (I think it was) Ken Haines had full 31 "P-Mono's and they were smokin' fast

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.jpg

Fyi there was lipos in that box..... Thank God they didn't get crushed.

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 month

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.
