Amazing Service

Post by Bruzzer » Sun Mar 06, 2005 2:51 pm

Hi Everyone,
In case you don't know BCA is having free shipping if you spend $100. I called on Friday before the sale started. They said I could get in on the free shipping one day early. The order would go out that afternoon. I figured sometime around Tues or Weds the order would show up because I'm in CA. I get home Saturday night and I have 3 huge boxes at my door. Now to clear room for this new project. I ordered 5 Blue Angles to go with the one I have now.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll have my diamond formation up. I'm not sure what to do with 5 and 6. I'm running out of room. Planes are courtesy of the U.S. Govt for keeping my tax money safe for the year. :)

Wow. That's quite a refund! I hope mine comes back that large, I'd LOVE a diamond!!! You must show photos when you get them all in formation!

Definitely show pics when you get them hung. A good use of tax refund $.

SBP also has free shipping for orders over $100. Only difference is their offer has no time constraints.

dang on the free shipping-

i ordered form BCA on wednesday... fedex said it would be here on saturday (didn't even know they delivered on saturdays) now it's monday and it still isn't out of colorado.

It's got nothing to do with BCA, it's fedex... but dang... i wish i had waited a few days and got free shipping.

And i wish fedex would move their butts and get going... it doesn't take 3 days to drive from denver to santa fe... it takes 5 hours, 6 at most.

OK guys I opened 3 of the planes. I'll get pics when there done. So now I only have 4 hobby projects going on at once.

Someone should mention in the tips section to get yourself some wire cutters. With all the twisty ties on these 3 planes I finally got off my rear and dug through the tool box for the wire cutters. What a difference that made.

Tip: wire cutters or snips make getting through all the twisty ties much easier....

okay-

i called fedex... they don't know where the package is... it left denver on saturday and they have no idea what happened from that point on....

this is awesome... i finally order the marines and the new bbi sherman and look what happens...

again, not BCA fault at all... it's fedex

Well, hopefully when a fedex rep. contacts me sometime tomorrow they will have good news for me.

everyone keep your fingers crossed for me
