Hi,
Just had a hard Crash this morning and started to check some online shops to make my bird ready by next Friday. I can't find any online shop who has a wide Align Trex 600 product line. Can you suggest any along with their links?

Thanks in advance,
Fernie

rc-century is not bad as well.   Try this http://shop.ebay.com.my/merchant/century-rc_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ

But I always get from this guy, Alan in HK his email is: fleerdee@netvigator.com and his website is www.ac-rc.com
Tell him what parts u need and he will send to you the next day in registered mail with shipping number. He is 99.9999% reliable.

Good luck and c u next Fri..... before the heat sets in.

Hi,
Just want to share some of my experiences among the online shops. I had a very very terrible experience with RC-Expert online hobby shop (www.rc-expert.com) from the very beginning till end. You will find that their prices are low compared to the other online shops. After making your order and checking-out then you can expect a mail saying some parts you have ordered and paid are out of stock and your case will be forwarded to accounts department for refund but will take some time. One more thing I hate with rc-expert, they took them 13 WORKING-DAYS before shipping my order. I’m sending them a mail everyday asking and begging them to send me an update and they are not bothered to reply. I even called them and told me that the guy handling the queries is sick and cannot respond to my mails. What an excuse Evil Finally they have shipped my order and hoping the problem ends there.
Please avoid buying anything from this shop to let them feel that they are not the only shop here in this world. And before buying anything from an unknown shop, we can always check this forum or some other forums to check the reputation of this shop. I’m passing my message to you to prevent others having the same bad experience which I had.


Cheers,
Fernie

I guess they win on prices, where they lose on shipping delay and communication issues.  Their combo prices are very very good, which is what made me shop from them multiple times (mostly full heli combo kits), even though in about 50% of the cases, there were shipping delays of 6 to 12 days. 

And when they do ship, there have been no surprises about the contents of the packages, which is a good thing so far.

I had the same problem with rc-expert last year when I bought heli and Spektrum radio from them.  I had to call and email countless times and took about 3 weeks before I got my set!!! Thus not recommended for the future.

If you had done nothing, they would ship it, possibly with an upto 2 week delay (plus another week in the transit).  Definitely not a shop if you want your items to arrive ASAP.

In the past, their prices were worth the wait, assuming you have the time !  Recently, other stores like www.helipross.com have been offering similar great prices and faster processing, so there is less and less reason to go back to rc-expert.
