I went the wester union route and took almost 5 days for the funds to clear, yet the money was out if my account in 5 minutes.. Just hope my machine is not on that famous slow boat from China...

I'd be HIGHLY upset, if I bought from an american company, believing that the goods were already stateside, to find out that I'd have to wait fir a SLOW boat to carry it to me from China!

I'm sure it says on there website somewhere that they ship from multiple warehouses. When I bought my 4200 from them it came over the pond.

RC4WD Have almost no high dollar item in their California Warehouse. Most smaller parts......I've have done a visite there a while ago and also had a conversation with the owner. That way save a lot of shipping internally. and the customer pay it all from manufacturer to customer in one shot.

RC4WD and Eagle only deal with DHL when it comes to the construction models and ship uniquely by air. You don’t have to worry about it being transported on a boat.

That is GREAT news. I can handle it coming from overseas, so long as it is sent expedited, rather then the cheaper & WAY SLOWER boat method.

That sounds about as terrible as the Credit Card refund from RC4WD. They refunded (Banks were closed, NO WAY possible to do a wire transfer over the holiday weekend) the initial Credit Card payment on 11-27. It STILL HASN'T reached me yet. The estimated date when the funds will return to my account are between 12-2 & 12-9. It ONLY took less then a second for the money to leave my bank account, but takes 1-2 weeks for it to re-appear? Somethings wrong with this! I SHOULD have did Paypal to secure the initial order! At least then I would have had the PP refunded in a timely manner.
