[AlaskaRC] Horizon Hobby & Tower Hobbies seem to be one in the same.

[Don Fuller]

Maybe this is already known by most of you, I new to the hobby but thought
it was interesting. I ordered a cheap part from Horizon (prop shaft for my
PT-17) paid 10.99 shipping for 4 to 9 days but the FedEx Number shows it
arriving 12/11. 13 days excluding holidays and weekends. So I
complained via email as I am sure many of you have with them. The
interesting thing I'm getting to is the reply I received indicating that I
had already received my order (which I did from Tower Hobbies) different
part, order and company. See Below:

Dear Don,

Our apologies for the delay receiving the Tower Hobbies shipment and the
last order you were charged $1.99 for postage. We do offer different types
of shipping for more money and the packages would arrive quicker.
Expedited USPS $4.99

So I replied back as below:

Someone is confused on this, I ordered on 11/21 and paid 10.99 shipping.
See below: This order could have been shipped in an envelope for 52 cents
and been here within 5 days not a month.

Thanks to EBAY I should have a new prop shaft Friday for 2.99 shipping I
ordered yesterday..

I guess the Moral of this Story is check EBAY first.
