Any body ever buy from Best1Hobby?

So, has any body ever bought kits from them and are the kits package very well? Do they offer insurance and should I get it if they have it?
What is better the U.S. postal service or U.P.S.? Also do they combine photoetched parts with the kits in shipping?

Here is their site http://best1hobby.com/

Thanks!

I've ordered from them many times. They're shipping in the US is Priority. Packages have always come super quick and never had any hassles what-so-ever.

I second that, i've ordered at least 15 different times from them, always got the products like a day or 2 earlier than expected. Good company and customer relations

I've only ordered once, but the service was outstanding. I live in Georgia, and ordered on Thursday at lunch...it was shipped Thursday afternoon, and on my doorstep on Saturday! I didn't pay any extra for fast shipping, that was just the standard shipping. Very pleased!

Side note, if you are outside USA, you better give your money to the first one come on the road than ordering on this site.

There shipping fees for outside USA are totally stupid (25$us for a small sheet of PE, over 30$ for a single kit)

I'm in the US, so shipping is good. I'm going to get a kit for the next LeMans contest , a Xanavi Nismo Z, and some PE parts.
For some reason they don't have the Nismo Z PE set from Tamiya so I will e-mail them about that.

Many times, good guys and they have special "photo-etch and decal" shipping rates so you don't have to pay crazy amounts if you're just getting stuff that can fit in a padded envelope.

International buyers beware...

Charging immense shipping costs for international orders. So, international buyers beware!

Re: Any body ever buy from Best1Hobby?

Is any one having any luck trying to contact them?
I have e-mailed them twice about the Tamiya GT-Z PE set and got no replies.
