I had good service the one time I ordered from them. The package took a little longer than I expected(2 weeks maybe?), but that was not their fault. It got hung up in the postal system somehow. They even offered to give me a free T-shirt on my next order for the inconvenience, but I really didn't see it that way and never took them up on it.

I've made a couple of purchases from them and they went through as smooth as can be.

I was one of Kevin's regular customers
but haven't been there since his passing.
I believe his family is still running the company though,
so I'm not surprised that they also have a great business ethic.

After Kevin's death, his family sold the company to Jim & Ruby Myers.

Kevin ran a great company and Jim & Ruby have continued that tradition.

I've had good service from both the 'old' and 'new' Discount Rocketry.

I wish I could have met Kevin in person. We were mail and e-mail buds for a long time. He was pure comic genius.

He was also great to deal with and went beyond the call several times to get me stuff I was looking for. Jim and Ruby have continued with great customer service as well.

I also used to buy from them when Kevin owned it. I got a lot of OOP kits and motors from him. I think I still have some of his Discount Rocketry Bucks sitting around here that I never cashed in.

I haven't purchased from there since his passing, but that's only because I haven't bought much at all rocketry related in awhile.
