I've got a thread in the electric section but figure it may be a bit more useful here...
So i used this shop (
www.tamiya-shop.com.au) once a while back and the shipping took about 2 weeks to get to me, but i got the items as described.
I put an order in a few days ago for a few more things, checked out and paid using Credit card, the money has passed as shown on my credit card statement and now they send me an email saying i ahve to pay again because they didn't receive the moeny the first time.
Seems like they are not trustworthy to me. Will let you folks know what the outcome is.
