Love products husband had fun puting… Love products husband had fun puting kit together was tougher then other places we get. Good qualityreceived quickly but be careful with Easy pay. They take 2nd payment out (30 days after first) and 3rd 4 days after after 2nd not 60 days from first payment. They said it can happen and they reserve the right to in fine print nothing they can do.

Ordered $500 worth of stuff and… Ordered $500 worth of stuff and qualified for free shipping, “sweet!” I thought. 3 days after ordering I received a Fed Ex tracking number via email. A week passes and the stated deliver by date comes and goes. Check Fed Ex tracking number again, now there is a nice message that USPS will be delivering my order. It still isn’t here two weeks after initial order date. Hell I ordered some hop ups through RC Mart the same day as I made my Tower Hobby order and that arrived 5 days later, from China!! First and last order from TH, hopefully my kids present makes it here before her birthday. Update: package arrived day before my kids B-day so I’m going to add another star, everything was nicely packed in the box. I would order again but not something that I need sooner than later. I’m not expecting overnight shipping but a reasonable expectation in this day and age is to have the box at your door within a week of paying for it.

Tower's System is awful I have spent many hours trying to buy RC aircraft. Their system would go on hold and not conclude the transaction. I recently ordered an RC sailplane. It arrived with a component problem [bad spar insert] after some hours on the computer, I got a replacement. When it arrived it had the exact same problem. Hours later I am told to return everything that there will be no more replacements. I felt like I was treated as some chiesler scamming them. I wanted to alert them that there was a problem and how many others would suffer the same experience.

1st class service died at Tower Hobbies I’ve used Tower/Horizon since the 80s they used to have thirst customer service in the business. Sadly it’s no longer true! I don’t call much anymore but after 2 years I have a lost shipment and I find out Tower/Horizon no longer offer a voice line for anything! As long as you never need support you’re ok. But everyone will need support at some time …,Avoid Tower/Horizon there are other RC Hobby stores that still answer and support their products! I’m not advertising so look it up and enjoy peace of mind knowing your products and money will be well spent and CUSTOMER SERVICE AVAILABLE

Get mostly epoxy and tools from them Get mostly epoxy and tools from them. The only slow down was curing covid which everyone slowed down, but eventually the product arrived. No recent experience buying planes, etc.
