PARTS INVENTORY: Parts inventory is looking great. More parts and hop-ups are in stock now than we've seen in nearly a year! Over 400 parts are back in stock and only 50 are sold out. Only a few of the sold out parts are popular so we're looking really good at the moment
RAMPAGE VEHICLES: We once had a choice of eleven different Rampages to choose from! Now, just three remain with all the others having been discontinued. Thankfully, the two most popular trucks are still available, the Rampage MT and Rampage XT as well as the Chimera SR sand rail. As of today, all of the remaining vehicles are temporarily sold out but more are expected to arrive before the end of July
SHIPPING: New shipping rates have been applied to the site - this will allow me to lower the prices on larger items such as bodies, pipes, wheels and tires etc. as they will now default to UPS shipping rates. If you're checking out and notice that UPS is the only shipping option shown, it is due to something large or heavy in your shopping cart
- Shipping is now flat rate based on size and weight
- Most small parts orders now ship for $4.97 to the continental US
- Large, heavy, or bulky parts orders now ship via UPS for $17.95 to the continental US
- The option to select UPS on small orders has been removed
PRICING: I've lowered the price on virtually every part and upgrade on the site. In the past, I've had to raise the price on parts to cover the increasing cost of UPS shipping. Now that I've changed the way shipping is calculated, I've been able to lower the prices site-wide
NEWSLETTER: I've re-launched the "Hot Deals" newsletter. Be sure to sign up for the newsletter when you see a pop-up on the site. It should be shown to you when you arrive on the site and then once again when you are about to leave. I'll be sending out stock status updates and exclusive discounts to subscribers once or twice per month. If you've signed up for the newsletter in the past, please sign up again. I've started a fresh customer list to ensure only the folks that want to receive the newsletter will get it. Be sure to check your spam folder for the newsletter - just like the tracking number updates, the newsletter seams to go to spam folders often
STORE CLOSURE: Not long ago, I had a run of bad experiences including rude customers, stolen products, lack of inventory etc. that caused me to consider closing the shop. After a short break, and some encouraging messages from a few loyal customers, I've decided to put those bad experiences behind me and keep having fun
Thanks for the 12+ years of support, I really appreciate it. Let's hope for 12 more years!
'till next time
