"I used to do mail order from Tower back in the late 70's till early 1980's. I ALWAYS had excellent service from them. I dropped out of the hobby world and just returned to it.

Having to build up an inventory of tools, parts, radios, and models, I placed a simgle order with Tower for 86 different items. My wife purchased Xmas presents for me through them, also.

The email notification was immediate and on time, tracking numbers worked well, order follow up was through Bizrate (egad!), and the order was shipped at the time they said it would be.

The packages arrived on time with a perfect item count. Simply amazing to me that they could do a perfect high part order right at Christmas.

Great company to deal with, just as it was over 25 years ago.

"Low prices and lots in stock!
ordered before with no problems but this time was a little diffrent, 1st it was friday when I placed my order big mistake cuz I put rush 1 day shipping on it. but come to find out they dont ship on weekends even tho UPS does do shipping on weekends. and they put on the member account page that it was shipped on the weekend, I called them up and asked whats going on and they were more lost then me.but at any rate it was a loss of 35 bucks to ship it next day.. The big thing here is dont order anything friday if you want it fast.

"Made an order for some parts for my RC and somehow they made a mistake in packing my order (with an item on the list). I wrote to inform them of the mistake, and they replied in less than 24hrs with an apology for the wrong item shipped. They corrected the mistake by shipping the correct item USPS Priority free of charge plus i get to keep the wrong small item they initially shipped. Way to go! Customer satisfaction is their goal and I am very pleased with this reseller. "

"Tower is simply the best when it comes to RC parts. The best selection of any online retailer, extremely competivite prices, cheap shipping, and fast shipping. They have two warehouses and they do their best to ship the bulk of your order from the closest warehouse. Customer service is also top notch. "

"Ordering - I have done all of my ordering online. Prices are fair. My first order was verified by a Tower Hobbies employee. The second order, an out of stock item was ordered and a phone call and correction was made within two days. Every order has been recieved correct and in good condition.
Transit - All items in boxes are packed very neatly. Small items are bagged together. Most all orders can be tracked. Items usually ship within two or three business days.
Tower hobbies has been an ideal retailer to me. Fair prices, short order processing time, informitive of order status, packaged nicely, and an enourmous selection of items makes Tower Hobbies a place worth shopping. I will continue to shop at Tower Hobbies.
