My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Brovic:

Kind of unfair to blame Advantage for what the post office does to the packages once they deliver them to them. I can only tell you with the US Mail timing is everything. I ordered my Beam and it here in SLC 2 days later. I love my Beam and Advantage has always delivered. I agree that my LHS has all the Trex parts in stock and the fact is that the YUGO dealer on State Street has all the parts for the Yugos in stock too, doesnt mean that I am not willing to wait for a Ferrari part because they are from Italy.

Patience is a virtue!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Well I guess if you paid the money for 2 day shipping then they either owe you refund, or some credit, or something.
I always just go ground, saving my pennies, and expect too wait a week or two.
Good luck with the Beam, looks like a real sweet machine.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		It did take them two days to ship out my order. Guess that helped with the delay. But I know USPS rarely messes things up at times and take over a week to deliver stuff.

Usually though, USPS Priority will get my stuff from the East Coast to the West Coast in at least 3 days.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I haven't had a single issue with Advantage getting things shipped out in a very timely manner. Your expierence certainly seems to be the exception, not the norm.

volcomsnows2k,
Sorry to hear you'll miss out on a very nice heli because of this one snag.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Sorry to hear of your shipping delays.
I do think it's unfair to judge the quality of a heli based on shipping alone.
Wait until you start the build and you'll really like it!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		ohh, I don't think the Beam is bad quality at all. The whole reason I ordered it is because its suppose to be the best quality 450 size heli in the market, making the Trex 450 look like a Blade CP!!!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Okay so I agree with the quality of the Beam. It seams that no one has anything bad to say about the heli or Advantage. I disagree with comparing Yugo's to Ferrari's. In my account, I have 3 Align 450's. 2 SE's ad 1 V2. I have nothing to say but good things about their parts availability and customer service. I was thinking about selling one of my 450's and getting a Beam. I still may. I just don't like that fact that Brovic777 has been waiting 1 week for a pretty local delivery. Anyways, to each their own.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Wow, UPS ships fast for you. I try to stay away from UPS from any East Coast orders because they take literally 5 business days to ship. USPS Usually take 3 days max, except of course with my sweet baby Beam!!!!!!!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		When you receive your package from the Post Office make sure you take it to them for a refund on the shipping charges before you open it. If you paid for 2 day shipping and USPS didn't deliver it they will refund the money. Now, if, and I mean to say IF, Advantage didn't get 2 day delivery from the USPS then Advantage owes you the refund on shipping.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Just found out my order was shipped out by UPS 3 Day, instead of USPS Priority 2-3 Day, which now makes sense why its taking soo long to ship get here. Tracking shows out for delivery today!!!! whooooooooooohooooooooooooo !!!!

Don't know why they changed it to UPS 3 Day.

Even with that, it still taking a week. Guess only option next time is next day air for us Calli guys!!
