Got my order today, but almost missed the Customer
Appreciation Coupon
as the envelope was tucked
inside the catalog. Be sure to check yours!

On a more pleasant note, I would like to thank Quest for their Christmas sale and good service on their end, we are all at the mercy of the USPS (I know I could have paid the hazmet fee and shipped UPS but I'm cheap)


My UPS box arrived about 30 minutes before the USPS box up here in NY...

You're probably better off with USPS. My experience with UPS is that shipping with them is a way to make certain that a fork lift will put a blade through your package.

Realistically, about 25% of the time my UPS packages look like they've been through a mauler at a robot battle tournament. The percentage is much much lower for USPS and Fed Ex in my experience.

Larger packages have a higher probability of being gutted by UPS.

Got my UPS last week, still waiting on USPS for the motors.

I ordered about $35 worth of kits and $65 of motors. Both boxes arrived on the same day.
