I must say I am extremely pleased with the service from you guys so far!

I had payment confirmation and a shipping notice within 2 hours of ordering! And on top of that you refunded me back the difference in shipping once you found out what it was. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll have plenty of happy "RETURNING" customers!

Only thing that I noticed was while looking at my cart it said "Free Shipping" which is a little mis-leading. I didn't find out what shipping was until I had already went through the PayPal process. Besides that the transaction went very smoothly!

Great job so far guys! I'll be buying from you again!

Thanks JW. Shipping the Mini Pet is the easiest to do since it's a flat rate Express box and not much has to be calculated. I apologize for the free shipping thing. I'm trying to debug it but it could be due to either the USPS API or the fact that multiple items were orderd, that would normally get First Class Mail, which USPS doesn't have a realtime online quote for, so it gets replaced by 'Free'.

BTW the stock lipo is in our Mini Pet and the 2 Turnigy's are in the TX battery compartment with the polarity already corrected.

From what I understand, Express is pretty expensive. Priority ships fast and at reasonable rates. They got flat rate boxes for Priority too.

Wonder if UPS rates are comparable for those large item. Their tracking system is a lot more reliable. Save USPS for the smaller stuff?

Something to look into. Also, you'll want to set it up so you can create the shipper from your home. Saves on time spent at the post office. Plus, I think you get a discount too when printing online?

I think PayPal has some type of shipping label type integration. Something to think about later.

Right on! Thanks again for some real service here in the states!

The medium flat rate priority is how it was shipped, at 10 bucks, it's pretty good.
I did the online printing, but wanted to confirm at the post office there wasn't going to be any problems with the lipos, which I was assured would be fine as they are too small to pose a threat.

I actually did print that one via PayPal shipping. I'll need to spend some more time on the shipping modules, but some of the prices aren't always available online so you still have to go down to the post office, which is OK, because it's less than a mile away.

Hey Massive, please don't use UPS for packages going to Canada because once it gets to the border it is taken over by another courier company (usually Purolator) that will charge us ridiculous amounts for brokerage fees and it only gets collected once the parcels are delivered. It may be more convenient for you (or not, I don't know) but it always ends up costing the Canadian customer so much that some may think that it's you who is ripping them off. I have seen some good deals from some online American stores but if they only ship through UPS I know to stay away from them. I once ordered a used notebook for $200 and had to pay $50 shipping and over a hundred dollars in brokerage fees and taxes, etc. I've gotten burned too many times.

We were hoping to offer the customer their pick, but USPS seem to be working the best right now.

MO, if I read you right, shipping the mini pet(plus what ever else can fit in the box) is $10 anywhere in the US? So one can get the mini pet plus two turnigy's for $70 shipped? Is that right?

Hey Stone, shipping was $10.85, so I refunded you the difference, so the total was $70.85

Guys the Turnigy's just arrived at my doorstep. Stone, if you wanted more than the two you ordered, please let me know.

I ordered something last night after business hours. This morning got email confirmation that order was shipped, postage corrected and overage refunded. This is an awesome first impression.

MO, I think the two I ordered will hold me over for now, I still have a bunch of the 35C's on hand. Thanks.

OK, just wanted to make sure before I drop it off. Thanks.

Massive - we all good to go with ordering then?

Yes, the only problem is that the software charges you higher shipping. I just go in, and print the label and refund the difference. We may just start doing Priority medium box for the Mini Pets and then for accesories, use the Priority small ball box, which is $5. Most are ordering multiple items anyways with the accessories. We'll play it by ear and see if $5 for accesories is too steep for some that may want the $1-3 First Class mail option.

Some bad news: Our supplier informed us that they misquoted the blade prices, so our next order they won't be as cheap. When the 500 remaining pairs are gone we'll have to adjust the price per pair, which will still be cheaper than other Mini Pet blades sold out there, but not the cheapest blades overall (which I think belongs to the UDI, but the UDI blades are smaller) You're looking at .75 a pair instead of .50 once this batch is gone.
