I sure do. My R/C helicopter parts were supposed to be here in no more than 2 weeks after they were shipped. It has been a month and 3 days.

Note* The only shipping option was USPS not Fed Ex or UPS.

Ive never understood some peoples hatred of USPS.

Ive never had a single thing get lost in the real mail. Whereas ive had stuff from fedex take 2 months, and on 2 occasions packages worth $1000+ left on someones doorstep on an entirely wrong street.

You sure your parts were shipped fast.

Maybe it took them 3 weeks to find the part, pack it, and maybe it was shipped on the opposite coast of you.

I like it fine. I mean sometimes they lose stuff, maybe slow at times, but without it, life would be harder.

Coming in May 2005!

I prefer the USPS over all other shipping methods. Priority mail is much cheaper than Fed Ex or ups and is also much much cheaper. They also provide you with packaging material. I think your issue is with the company you bought the parts from rather than the usps. Go usps

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I use USPS all the time. Its easier then finding a ups or fedex place, since the post office is like a 5 minute walk from my house... I also have never had a problem with the usps, whereas ups delays packages for no reason at all...

Toys? The main rotor spins fast enough to take your fingers off and the tail rotor fast enough to take your hand off. Doesnt sound like a toy to me.

What are you complaining about. Try waiting 82yrs for your RC.

His postcard arrived at the Port Clinton Post Office -- almost 82 years later.

I would be mad.

Actually R/C is an adult hobby.

An R/C car is basicly a real car, just smaller. It is very hard to assemble one.

And R/C choppers are even harder to build, maintain, control. But I would have to say my favorite is R/C jets. They are so sexy, cost as much as a new SUV and fly at speeds up to 200 MPH. About 4 Feet or longer these things are real Jets, and require an enourmas amount of time and detication to build.

It's not your regular Toys R Us R/C.

That only cost a few cents, mine costs over $300.

Edit: This is only taking in the price of the thing not the signifigance.

Your RC could have ended up at a U.S. Postal Service mail recovery center in Atlanta, Ga., where it would have likely been tossed into the trash.

Any one up for dumpster diving in Atlanta, Ga?

I looked into R/C jets but right now they are out of my price range. If I were to get into them i would build a 1/5 or 1/7 scale SR-71.
