Re: Great Hobbies free shipping Some good info for folks following this thread: Today I placed an order with GH, and added a comment that they really need to bring back the free shipping. Continuing my strategy to nag them in any communications I have with them. This evening Wendy from the service team left me a voicemail. The long & short is, if you include a note about a competitor offering free shipping, they will price-match it. So I guess the free shipping IS still available, only now you have to request it. It's not nearly as convenient or obvious as clicking a shipping option with $0.00 for the cost... but at least it's still around. |

Re: Great Hobbies free shipping I fully get it why they discontinued the free shipping option as it is very expensive to ship now a days and has to be made up somewhere with what I am going to assume is slim profit margins. Still though, if another company can do it for less purchase dollars, then why can't GH? Last spring I shipped out a couple small .46 size Pitts mufflers and by the time I paid for the shipping, I almost gave them away....... Might as well left them in my parts box.

Re: Great Hobbies free shipping I for one have been making a point of reminding GH of Hobby Wholesale's free shipping whenever I'm in communication with them. My hope being they will re-institute it soon. If not I'll have to reconsider my mail order practices. |

Re: Great Hobbies free shipping My brother was going to place an order with GH. He contacted them and they said the Free Shipping is done....oh well.......to good to last I guess. That being said, like mentioned in a previous post Hobby Wholesale still offers free shipping on orders over 80.00 so there is another alternative. |

Re: Great Hobbies free shipping hi . 2 weeks ago i wanted to make an order from great hobbies. the shipping option did not include canada post because the stike threat was looming. this was on a friday. purolator was the shown option for 36 dollars. then the next week canada post was indicated as an option for 16 dollars. i emailed about the 100 dollars get free shipping and they replied saying it was no longer offered.josh |

So it sounds like the free shipping offer is still valid, from the most recent posts. What gets me is, if it's still available, and I can pick Canada Post as a shipping option... why the heck are they making us contact them separately to request it? To me it sounds like a classic case of left hand not knowing what the heck the right hand is up to. I swear, somewhere there is an unwritten rule of business that the bigger a company gets, the dumber it gets. I've seen proof in far too many companies over the years! |
