Heh…I’m getting 2 of everything for some reason. 2 digital catalogs…2 paper catalogs. Maybe I’ll get 2 F-35s. [:D]
They contact you when it is in stock and ready to ship, then send an invoice to pay at that time. I utilized Squadron for the ICM Ghost of Kiev kit a couple months back.
Can confirm, they contact you when it is in stock and ready to ship, then send an invoice to pay at that time with the link to actually submit payment. I utilized Squadron for the ICM Ghost of Kiev kit a couple months back.
2008 catalog from the early Squadron 2.0 timeframe.
Squadrons founder, Jerry Campbell, sold to Mike McMahon and some “quiet investors” (Squadron 2.0). McMahon was a good steward and continued Campbell’s vision of the company. McMahon took an extended sick leave and when he came back the “quiet investors”, Franklin Mint, had taken over. They added gack items along side of model stuff. Payment issues bloomed during Franklins tenure ending in their bankruptcy
Corporate big footing is never a positive senario.
Second that, Ed! I was and still am a customer of Freetime, and back when Brandon made his first annoucements about Squadron, I was glad to hear it. I wish him and his dad much success, and I think we modelers will be happy again with the brand.
I do not think this is necessarily true.
I pre-ordered a Tamiya 1/12 Tyrrell 03 on 10/4.
When I placed the order on the 4th, I was informed that I would be invoiced for payment when the kit was in stock and ready to ship… was invoiced and paid on the 10th… kit has yet to ship as of today the 15th.
I’ve always had good service with Freetime.
I enjoyed getting the flyer in the mail. Its was far better than all the campaign junk mail I have been getting.
I remmember the old folded over monthly flyers from thirty years ago full of discounted items that were less than a buck or two.
