I recently got my first order from them. The price was good, the delivery was very slow at 8 weeks to the UK. In comparison, HLJ and HobbySearch have never taken more than 4 weeks. I suppose it depends on whether you'd rather pay slightly more to get the kits sooner, or if you've got the patience to sit back and wait while saving a couple of quid.

Wierd if they only ship surface mail. Most places give you the option but the cost saving is usually outweighed by the increased risk of things going missing. Seems the more time spent in transit, the more time there is for someting to go wrong.

no. Hong Kong... but the prices are good and im not in a hurry....

I bought a Supra kit from them , although it did take a while to get, the quality of the models is great and I haven't had any problems with them.

I contacted them via email but could not get any response from them??

I've ordered from them on a couple of occasions. Easy transaction; no problems. They ship from Hong Kong and to Texas it took 2 weeks (air mail).

Just browsed the site again. They shipping costs have gone up from when I last ordered. Before air mail shipping on a kit was around $11, now its $16.

Anyone ordered their models in last week? I don't think I should place my order if they do not repsonse my emails. Perhaps they never received my emails, btw. So I think they will also won't receive my order from Paypal.

They don't. It's just the way they designed their website - so the option that isn't selected is crossed out, but actually you can still select it. Confused me at first too.
