Good morning!

Is your favorite or local shop listed by the big two?

I've noticed some of the more prominent or established shops do not appear on the dealer locator web pages published by Great Planes and Horizon Hobby.

Hobbico/Great Planes: (Axial, Dromida, Arrma, Futaba, Duratrax)

Horizon Hobby: (Losi, Vaterra, ECX, Dynamite)
https://www.horizonhobby.com/HHStoreLocatorView?storeId=10151

Is your shop on there?

Thanks!

My favorite hobby shop is you, on eBay. I buy as andrews6393

.

XR Hobbies in Corydon, Indiana would be my choice and they are on both lists.

Wait a sec... are you liquidrc, the shop?

I've ordered soooo many times from you in the past when you still had the $0.99 "no bull" shipping shop... I probably single-handedly drove your business profitability down

I have no idea what you are asking about, but I just wanted you to know I miss your old shop

Thanks again for everything!

Thank you for your orders. The way internet traffic is obtained has changed a lot since then, and the price of postage has gone up 4 to 5 times in some cases.

I'm mostly interested in the bias Great Planes and Horizon have towards shops with different amounts of success. Both are pushing dealers to be more "retail" and less "mail-order". We find this odd, as nearly every "retail" only shop within 100 miles of here has closed for lack of business. At the same time, we're struggling to get enough inventory to fill our shelves.
