I have found that they have been beating my other major supplier, Great Models, in delivery time by a few days lately.  I mentioned it to GM today.  I ordered from both today---I'll see who wins this round.

Earlier this month, I ordered this $60 kit from Gundam Store and More on a Tuesday, standard shipping was about $7  from Michigan to Massachusetts. The box was at least 15 X 12 X 5 inches and weighed about 4 pounds...this is a big kit! The box arrived on Friday the same week.

In February, I ordered a $20 54mm mounted plastic Historex figure from Squadron (weight with box maybe 8 ounces and about the size of two regular paperback books) with $5 shipping. It took over 3 WEEKS to get from Texas to Massachusetts. Of course, I could have doubled my shipping costs and gotten it sooner!  

Wow, sorry to hear that, I've never had any big problems with Squadron.

Last summer they left out a set of decals I'd ordered. One email and they sent them in a separate order and paid for S&H. I can't complain.

MFSOB, thanks for letting us know about this.  Went there right away and got me 5 Walk Around books and In Actionfor $1-3 each.  What a great DEAL! 

Squadron is fantastic.  They only messed up one order and that was because they mis-typed my credit card info from my order to the bank to get the funds so the order wasn't filled.  I called a few days later because my bank account wasn't charged.  They advised of the above problem and corrected it.  I had my order the next day.  Considering one of the items I place in that order was a Revell 1/48 B-29 and they overnighted it from Texas to NY that is very impressive. 

Every order is packed as though it is going to be delivered on horseback.  Never a dent in a box or a page creased on a book.  What's not to love about Squadron.

Squadron is the only mailorder co. I have ever used, always been great.

Ditto here.  I posted a similar message to a thread that Manstein's Revenge had started a few weeks ago.  The lady that helped me was possibly the nicest customer service worker I had ever talked to. I had placed my order before the sale actually started, so she looked up each item and confirmed the sale price.  Package was like you said impervious to the dangers of shipping.  Top notch service.  Rick.

I took advantage of that same sale and got a bunch of decal sets for a B-29 and P-47s that I plan to build, $2 each.  And they came quickly, packaged exactly as you described.
