          Tower Hobbies , also located in Illinois.I made an order from OSE on Sat and it was here yesterday, made an order from Horizon Hobby the same day and it is in Kansas city. ordered my lipo's from Tower hobbies which came from Reno , Nev. and received them yesterday, Im In Missouri a far cry from OSE and Tower Hobbies Warehouse in Nevada, Now tell me why it takes so long to get an order from Horizon Hobbies which is only an 8 hour drive from me. and then maybe we can figure out why all the new products get delayed.

              It depends... depending on what you ordered, it may be shipping from the California warehouse...

                  Damn Darin , Thank you so much, that explains it all. they have a warehouse in Komifornia. which is only across the Colorado river from Reno, Nev. that only took 3 days for a set of lipo's to get all the way to BFE So. Mo. That still dont Justify the time it takes for them to get an order to you. not when the order was accepted at the Il.l UPS office for Delivery. What did they do Fly it to California first, then back to Kansas city ? Im 57 years old i Wasn't born yesterday, With all your Knowledge of boat building and the fine products you endorse, I'd be looking for another sponsor. Just my Opinion , nothing against you.

                      Well... if I did that, then I wouldn't be able to help develop boats that can be delivered late and then get trashed by all the "expert" critics out there... where would I be then???

                      I have no idea why your order is "delayed", or taking longer than Tower, or anything about it frankly. Not my department. If you have a real complaint, have you actually taken the time to contact (like, CALL, actually talk to someone) and voice it with them? I haven't had any issues with them. If you are having issues, let them know about it. Businesses tend to want to try to please their customers. I'm sure it's a little harder when you are a huge business, but I think they tend to try.

                          There are lots of ProBoat dealers out there... ProBoat is owned by Horizon Hobby, however.

                            Yep your right Darin i need to talk to them, however your boats are still some of the best ive seen for the price tag.
