I buy primarily from waffle, ez toys, the Flying Mule, and eBay. Ive bought from panda fox and the diecast airplane store as well. I now that a lot of people don't like waffle for various reasons but I would readily defend them. Sure I've gotten some broken models from them but everyone has gotten those from where ever you buy from! Their shipping is normally like $10, which is normal, but it always come in like 2 days! They're normally willing to work with you and they're prices are great! They also get really rare used models (that they actually have in stock, some of which I've bought). I can also get a 10% discount every order! Great video

Hey, man1 I appreciate your defense for Waffle Collectables and I will do a video on him and why his store is one I do not trust in a future video along with all I said in this video. I will make my counter claims your your good defense here. $10 shipping while standard price is still more than what I would pay as most retailers, even Eztoys offers free shipping in some form or anther. From what I can tell, Waffle Collectables offers no way to get free shipping. Saving $10 each order for me adds up very quickly. I will concede that he has an excellent selection. The "rare models" however, are often not in the condition they are advertised which is in violation to cooperate law. Anyway, I am not going to tell you who to buy from or support. I am just going to caution against buying from someone. Thank you for the comment and for having a civil conversation with me.

@@CitrusAviation One thing I don't like about Waffle is when doing pre-orders. They take forever. I actually have ended up buying models from other stores after I got tired of waiting for Waffle to get them in stock. They'll charge you a 25% penalty fee for cancelling pre-orders and won't refund you shipping they never used. It's in their policy. So, you are basically left with no other choice but to just wait forever to get a pre-order. I made the mistake of pre-ordering from them for three models but will never do it again!

I will say about Amazon, the Louisiana One actually saves you a few bucks. I didn't buy it this way but I noticed that there was free shipping, at least for Amazon Prime members, on this particular model. However, they usually charge sales tax. So you can buy Louisiana One from The Airplane Shop and pay an additional $10 for shipping or you can buy it on Amazon and get free shipping but pay maybe 10% sales tax depending on where you live and pay about $5 cheaper than buying it straight from The Airplane Shop.

Great video! I have some differing opinions regarding a couple retailers. I’ve had perfect experiences with Waffle Collectibles up to this point. Obviously that doesn’t mean everyone will, but I’ve had no problems so far. With the GJ March though, that might change. The strategy is not to complain to him, and you will avoid any potential issues with him being rude or using inappropriate/offensive language against you. That being said, he is a business and he should act more professional. Last time I bought from ezToys was when I preordered the NG jetBlue A321. They didn’t ship it right away and said it was held up in customs, and it would ship that Tuesday. After that, I emailed them again and I was told it wouldn’t arrive until mid-September, so they lied to me. Haven’t bought from them since. After that I agree with everything else.

By this point we have both made our position on Waffle Collectables clear. You have had a good experience, and that is great! I'm happy his store is working out for you, and since it is I would actually recommend you stick with him. However, I can not in good concurrence recommend his store to anyone because of the 'issues" he has. I must say my recent experience with Eztoys has not been as good particularly with the new DAL CR9 where my experience was terrible. As this video was so popular I will be doing an updated version of this video next year and there is a good chance Eztoys will move to the unrecommended position.

The shipping to Colombia was DelAAyed. With Airplane Shop it was amazing, just because of the variety, prices were good. Just Airplane Shop is good in-store, online is a shit.

For anyone thinking of buying from AMS, don’t buy from them unless you are in the British isles or northern / Western Europe. If you buy from them and you are in the americas, it will probably take months to get to you because their stock is all sorted in the UK, and shipping is only cheap for the British isles, and not too much more for northern / Western Europe.
@CitrusAviation
3 жыл бұрын
This is why I said in the video "for you European collectors". Now the model will not takes months but more like two weeks to arrive, which is still a not time but not as long as assumed. Also, it should be mentioned that shipping from the UK is going to be about $20. Anyway, AMS is good for model collectors in Europe.

I love waffle collectibles, I have ordered 2 models from them and I had an Etihad a350-1000 model shipped by FedEx from Temecula to Chicago and both wings were off and one of the horizontal stabilizers was off, this was not waffle collectibles fault but rather Fedex to blame for. Didn’t have a problem with the Air India 777-300ER I received from them.

@@CitrusAviation I’m going through a similar situation right now. I bought from there in the past ( RM), took a few months but I got my planes. So then I bought a Jetblue a321neo back in January, never received. Emailed a few times and he said “ I’m waiting on panda to ship my orders” which was funny because the same plane from panda was all over ebay. I emailed him with an updated shipping address, and he responded the same day. I emailed again asking for an update, nothing. I emailed on Monday and today, no response. I called my bank and got my money back. DO NOT USE RM MODELS!!!! SCAM! I’m reporting him to the BBB tomorrow
