ON nov 17 i placed an order with militray hobbies.
i called them and got the dragon karl morser mortor.
it was free shiping.
and to day is dec 8 and i still have not got my kit yet,
i cant understand why it will take 23 days for the kit to get here.
i called them and they said they shipped it and i called my post office and they said they might be busy, but 23 days.
i got kits from them in the past and they where here with in a week.
as any body had problems with them shiping stuff

It's the holiday season, I would expect some delays in our mail service.

I was at the post office last week to mail some models out, and it was a complete zoo.

I wouldn't worry. Military hobbies is a top mail order place. Holiday mail would be my guess.

The Shipping from them is pretty slow but you usually get what you want I Think it took me maybe 4 or 5 weeks to get my order but it was nicely shipped and packed

That's Okay, I sent in my renewal for my 2004 Squadron Catalog and was told two weeks ago that they were mass-mailed and should arrive at anytime. And...Well, Still no catalog in my mailbox. I wonder how long I have to wait until I get mine ?? Next Month ?

BUT Whats Worse, IS..... The fact that I live in the same city that they operate from. OR at least a few miles from them. They're in Carrollton and I live in North Irving. Like I said, Pretty much in the same neck of the woods. So, would'nt you think that they would have already been able to get it to me by now ?? I will wait until the end of the week and if it still does not show up I am Calling them back. To see whats going on.

Perhaps you should have used UPS or FEDEX instead, if available. At least with them you can trace your package.

I just got a model tank I won on ebay. It took 2 and a half weeks from the time he mailed it in Colorado to me in Dallas. You better believe the mail is slow. Next time tell them you want UPS ground and pay the extra.

If they can't find your package then I would go ahead and call your credit card company and dispute the charge.

Tazz, consider yourself lucky, On January the 5th this year i ordered the italeri waterloo battle game set from my local hobby shop (which i mentioned before is not the most customer friendly, in other words they have a real attitude problem) they said it would be in within the next week and they will give me a call, well after a while i forgot that i even ordered it, they still hadnt called, just 1 week ago i went there to get something, i said to them, hey i dont suppose you have my order in yet, and they said yeah we have had it sittin on the shelves for months now, we rang ya and old ya we had it, we even left answering machine messages, now thats really slack of them, for starters, they didnt ring, and didnt leave messages, and secondly it shouldnt take 11 months for me to get it, some people are just slack, oh well i have it now, its not even that good
cheers, and dont worry youll get it, even if it takes 11 months, lol
