The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[No Slack 104]

I remember the film was broadcasted in The Netherlands at some time and I was so impressed with the RC Spitfires. And after watching the clip on YT just now I still am.

Karmann Ghia shell and shocks for my M-04, and cheap Chinese tyres for my rally cars to wear on tarmac stages:

Well that was quick. After a long stay in Hong Kong, this went from Alaska, to Indiana, and over to Illinois in one day. FedEx doesn't mess around.

The Top Force box didn't have the clear seal on it. I got a bit nervous until I opened it to see that RCMart must have done that to stuff more bubble padding inside the loose areas of the box. That was pretty nice! This was my first order from them so I'm not sure if they always do this. I also didn't specify FedEx when I placed the order. Maybe RCMart is upgrading people to FedEx to get these packages out faster? 

This is normal, Tamiya doesn’t seal their kits in shrink wrap, I believe it’s a TamiyaUSA thing only

Got an email today from one of the shops I am waiting on. 

They said royal mail have told them they are currently 10 days behind on all orders, which pretty much is what I'm experiencing. 

For the record, I've found DPD to be the most reliable service during this pandemic. 

That's a bit weird I bought something which was dispatched and delivered by royal mail on Monday and it arrived today 2nd class! (Yokomo 19t stock brushed motor)

I didn't know about that, thanks! All the kits I've purchased so far from Tower Hobbies were sealed.

[moffman 2376]

This little bundle arrive today from different vendors! People are saying they are having trouble with delivery (understandably at the moment) I'm finding no difficulty  this is going to be put to one side until I eventually get some time off from work!

Customs bill

I braved the outside world as the website listed the local sorting office as being open.

Arrived to printed off signs plastered all over the doors that the revised hours would be 7am til 9am.

So there's going to be a huge crowd outside tomorrow I guess, social distancing at its' finest! 

[CoolHands 570]

Or can you pay online and have it redilivered?

In general, how are everybody's orders arriving?

Ten 1060 bearings ordered on January 24th. Arrived on April 22nd.  Stuff I ordered in March was delivered already.  

In my case, things have been becoming normal.  Just that older orders from January and February took longer.
