How long does it usually take to get stuff from tower using their fastest shipping? I've only ordered twice from them. The first time, it took 5 days to get here, but spent 5 days in customs and that was over the new years period.

It's now been 21 days since my latest purchase was shipped and I'm getting very impatient. Especially because all the parts were 'parts express' eligible.

yupp i would begin to make enquiries to Tower. can you request courier info such as who the courier is and a consignment number? that way you would get in touch with the courier and ask for a track and trace...

If you ordered ground mail.....that takes 90 days.

Air mail can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. My last air mail from towers took almost 4 weeks, but the one before took 6 days.

I have a guy in the UK who brought a car from me. I sent it air mail and he has been emailing me everyday since a week after he paid.

i made a purchase Sunday AUS time, and selected international air. Monday night AUS time the site reported it had been shipped, so it didnt take long to get it out of their warehouse.

I will keep you posted on when it gets here.

My parts arrived today! Took 23 days....

Stupid tower hobbies. The extra catalogues and stuff were bigger and weighed more than the parts. Could have halved my shipping costs if they'd left it out.
