This site was great but it doesnt seem to be there anymore. Anyone know what happened?

Anyone else have suggestions for good websites in the US or Canada for ordering tools and supplies?

Please let me know what you think

Thanks for the links. That Model Expo look like a great store but damn the shipping is expensive. $30 for shipping to Canada! This is regardless of size. The one thing i loved about scalehobby.com was free shipping to US and Canada on all finishing products. Looks like ill have to suck it up!

I wonder if its just my computer but I still cant get it. When i used that link you gave me it came up with page not found.
Did you try refreshing on the page?

Very weird

I got re-directed when I typed it in too - and nothing came up at all when I clicked that link directly.

9

the first time I got redirected, but it works fine for me now!!

I live in Francze and regularly order to Micromark as I find costs to be very reasonable.

I did the same as Woody and went in through the forum. http://www.scalehobby.com/forum/index.php

But I have no problem useing http://www.scalehobby.com either.

12

I don’t have any trouble getting to the website.

13

now it doesn’t work, it goes to the electric place.

14

I can’t get in either way, also can’t e-mail them-gets bounced back.

15

Thanks , Chris…that link worked.

Ok everyone you can calm down . Just read this email from there.

"Bad news first: The site has been down for the better part of the day. Not
just the forums, but the entire site.

Good news: This downtime was regrettable but unavoidable and taken as a
step to eliminate the chronic slowness we had been experiencing. We are
ancitipating the problem to be resolved now, and we appreciate your patience!"

I received this email from them today:

That is why you are having problems.
