| I've personally had some problems with shipping stuff for people.
GOt a wife, kids, job.
I'm not a full time heli dealer.
Sometimes, I work from 8 to 6 with no breaks long enough to leave the office. If this happens for a week, then if I have something to ship, it gets out a week late.
And what about if the wife or kids are sick. Or I'm sick?
I don't have anybody who can ship for me.
I don't have a regular UPS or Fedex pickup.
I could suggest printing USPS priority postage and having the mail person pick it up, but I have not tried that yet myself.
Anyhow, I'm just looking at it from the other side.
If you want something tomorrow, order it from heliproz or Rick's.
If you want a deal and are willing to pay for it (I mean, pay less for it, hahahaha) then buying used is ok.
If the guy has a good rep, take it easy. Be patient and see what happens before you get too anxious.
NOwadays, I'm a little bit more careful and advise anyone who buys from me that shipment may be delayed, but I'll be sure to keep in touch and provide a tracking number when it ships. But it took me a couple of times "screwing up" to learn the ropes.
