I thought I would add an update to this ancient thread rather than Let it Die since I’ve had some experience with ActivePowerSports. The Online store still exists and my story may be of interest.
So, to all you Zombie thread readers…
I had placed 2 orders, (multiple items on each order), with Active last year. Both orders were cancelled by Escondido Powersports Inc. (ActivePowerSports)
My 1st order was cancelled when I requested if any item was out of stock that the entire order should be cancelled. (Everything seemed to show in stock when I placed the order.) Apparently the Civil War Blockade runner was OOS. It was still listed on the Web site for another week but it was removed shortly thereafter. They do update the site.
The 2nd order was also cancelled by Active. On this order I simply requested they tell me if anything was out of stock. There was no explanation why this order was cancelled.
I was reimbursed completely and quickly for both cancelled orders!
Previous to these orders I did contact a Representative about shipping and where they shipped from. I recall it was mentioned there were 6 warehouses and no matter how many shipments were required to fulfill my order there would be no additional shipping charges.
Yes, the listed prices are good, especially on Lindberg model ships. Shipping charges are around $12 min. They seem honest enough to refund quickly and they do update the product listings
.
When I get extra money back after the “tax reform” takes effect, (Read: “Money I didn’t expect to get), I may try one more time. I’m hoping “Three times the charm”.
