Todds Models STAY AWAY

Hi The problem with this vendor is that they always have very cool stuff, usually in stock, and very prompt delivery....must hide credit card. Best Regards Hi Todd ! Any spare m-100 motors yet?

I think he actually anticipates my orders. There's no way the US mail could get a package across the country that fast.

HIya RB 47 Even though i posted in jest, do you think it should be deleted so as not to wrongly influence a complaint dept surfer? What are you doing up this early? It's 8 am here in N.H

Looks ok to me. It'll get folks' attention. Might as well give a URL
http://www.toddsmodels.com/

I'm up at all hours. Being retired, time and day of the week have no meaning.

At least 'till school started. My favorite, close flying spot is a school. Now that daylight comes so late I can only fly there on weekends and holidays. Now I know how people feel who can only fly on weekends. If the wind doesn't jibe, I'm out of luck. Used to be if it was too windy, or rainy, there was always tomorrow.

I know what you mean. When I started in electrics a little over a year ago, I was doing some scratch built slow and park type flyers. Spent several hundred bucks with Todd in a short time for various "items". I'm in central florida, and I think he's in Washington state,.. opposite ends of the universe for the postal service. EVERY time I ordered, the stuff was here in 2 days. GREAT guy to deal with. He's set the bar very high for all vendors

Isn't it great we have companies like this to do business with. The really great part is the owner is right here among us. He is probably setting there reading this thread with a big warm fuzzy feeling. And he should be proud. good work Todd.

Glad to see this was in jest. I saw the headline and jumped in ready to defend Todd. He's been most helpful on the phone and sine I live in Seattle, I got my last order in 1 day.

Keep up the good work Todd.

I'm embarrassed to admit being a little disappointed that this wasn't some kind of "I got anthrax in my microballoons" story...
Is schadenfreude really a character flaw?

I wish Todd sold everything

Talk about Todd being prompt!

As soon as I hit the "place order" button on my computer, the delivery truck is dropping off my order.

I wish Todd sold everything, like sailplanes, submarines, etc. Then I could buy everything from him, and get the stuff right away. I don't know how he does it, but thanks for such great service! And sell more stufff, too

It's good to hear that about Todds Models.

I wish I could say that about balsapr.com.

Although they have neat stuff, it's out of stock a lot and delivery has averaged 2 weeks if I even get all of it.

If Todd is that great with service, then I'll be shopping there soon [ as I get some more $$ ].

This chronic buying from Todd's is getting too easy and the service, well.. too fast a delivery, it's usually in my post office one hour before I make an order..

Todd, I suggest that you make your web site more interactive, say when someone orders something, before they can finalize the order they have to answer correctly some questions about current news, sports scores or something.

He must be shipping via Einstein Express' faster than light service: When it absolutely, positively has to be there the day before yesterday . . .

The only logical conclusion...

After careful reasoning, I've come to the conclusion that Todd has invented a Time Machine. After we place our orders, he goes back in time a week, then sends us the goods.

Clever, very clever, Todd
