Drav8r Posted October 28, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2018 Hello, After being involved in model aviation since the 1970's I have decided to try ship modelling, something I have always wanted to do. I have purchased a Model Shipways Longboat, 1:24, from Model Expo. One question - I ordered it mid-week and it has still not shipped. Is this a reputable online vendor? Thanks.

ccoyle Posted October 28, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2018 Welcome, Anthony. Yes, MS is one of the best out there. I haven't ordered from them in ages though, so I don't know what their typical turn-around times are these days. I'd suggest giving them another day or two, and if it hasn't shipped by then, give them a call. geoff and mtaylor 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Seahawk1313 Posted October 29, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 29, 2018 Hello Anthony, I think it depends on if they have it in stock. I've ordered from them a number of times. Last order took 3 weeks, but most of the time order shipped in about a week. Their service is very good and seem to be nice people-- Hal geoff and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
