Anyone every buy from BigBoysHobbies?
« on: February 05, 2012, 06:28 »
As the title says, has anyone ever purchased MD's or gear from Big Boy's Hobbies in the US?

They are a major sponsor on the Findmall forum.  Good feedback there.  Haven't tried them personally though.

    Smbo.

    I have not seen his banner there.

    I sent him a couple of e-mails and the replies were less than impressive, apparently the sale which has been advertised for a while won't start until the end of the month.  Also shipping to OZ was quoted at US$100.00, that is more than twice what his competition charge.

    Lastly and nothing to do with BBH, the ACE 350 has been dropped from the Garrett catalogue page! I wonder if they are stopping production of the 350 in favor of the Euro ACE?

    BigBoysHobbies is a lot of fanfaronade, their payment system do not allow for offshore payments so one have to contact them for shipping charges..................very costly!
