I havent purchased any items from carolinas. I was consdering to do it however the parts that I want (xray stuff) are on backorder. I dont like purchasing parts on backorder cause I might not get it regardless of what online shop I go to.
Yup the 3.99 expedited shipping from amain seems retarded. As the other guy posted, we shop online because we wants the parts fast. I shop at amain 90 percent of the time cause their items are always in stock and I do get them relatively fast be it in my house in Valencia CA. or here in manila. Then again fast is relative cause i live close by. I do shop too at stormer hobbies. My problem with stormer is their interface. Its too hard for me to navigate. But they are a good online shop too. Cheaper than amain.
Not all parts at amain are more expensive. Plus I think they more expensive by a dollar or two only which is not bad. What makes their parts more expensive is the CA sales tax of 7.5 %
