HO Slot Car Racing

[Dusted]

Is it typical for HO Slot Car Racing to take two weeks after payment confirmation before they ship an order? I should say two weeks and counting since they still havent shipped it. I ordered from JAG, order confirmed 10pm on the 20th and I received the order today. Just curious if this is typical I will order somewhere else if Im in a hurry next time.

From what I have seen is that these are mostly small businesses and slow delivery isn't out of the norm. Sometimes my guess is that some of them don't have a particular item in stock or maybe a portion of your order and they wait for the balance and then send the whole order. If you order with a credit card, you always have that protection.

I see on some of these boards people tend to be very critical of some of these companies. I would prefer to cut them a little slack as this hobby needs to be encouraging vendors and not running them off. If you don't get your order I can see being frustrated, but two weeks doesn't seem like that out of line. I've never heard anything bad about the company you ordered from.

Dont get me wrong Im not trying to knock them they have a fantastic web site Im just trying to get a feel for whats typical. I completely understand what you are saying. Except for a couple orders everything I bought has been on Ebay, yup I Know lol, so I havent had much interaction with many of these store. Until I ordered from JAG I didnt think a couple weeks was out of hand. I sent an email today asking about the order. It would be nice to let us know if they are out of something but I am not in their shoes either.

I read my post again and although I didnt mean it to be derogatory I can see how it could be taken that way.

Dusted, while I haven't ordered from Jag lately, I used to and never had any problems at all. Always arrived in a logical time frame and in good shape. tjetracer may be right about the backorder taking a few days longer.

I didn't really see anything negative and didn't intend to accuse you of anything. I think was just being matter of fact. It's all good.

I didnt take it as an accusation I thought you misunderstood what I was asking that's all, no biggie. It's cool brother!

Phil, I think they are talking about HO Slot Car Racing Site. Don't know much about them but two weeks seems a little lengthy for waiting on parts. As far as Jags services. They rate up there with the best of them . Very fast and reliable service.

Oh! That makes sense. Thanks.

[Dusted]

Thank you all. and yes I was talking HO Slot Car Racing site. a lot of good products and information there. I am just a little nervous trying to get ready for my first race without the tools I need. I started building the Gasser now so I feel like I am moving forward still.
