Tower Hobbies has been around for a very long time.....I've spent lot's of $$$ over there in the past with RC aircraft. Their customer service is excellent. Looks like their selection of Thumler is pretty good w/free shipping......I'd consider them.

Yes. I bought my AR-2 from them back in 2005.
Smooth transaction.
I paid $95 for it and $8 to ship.
Fourteen years later, it’s $135 w/free shipping. Not bad.

pizzano and parfive...thanks for your responses... gave me enough confidence to order the 12 LB tumbler I can't get locally and bonus $15 promo code for subscribing to their newsletter! Looking good so far...Thanks again!

Received the tumbler today and it's tumbling as I type! Overall I'm a happy Tower Hobbies customer...delivered from US to Canada in 7 days with no surprises at a price that was cheaper than anybody else. Only one hiccup .... because I'm an international customer Tower Hobbies can't automatically confirm I'm the legitimate credit card holder (like they can from a US based Credit card apparently) and required me to get a transaction authorization number from the credit card company which Tower Hobbies would compare with the number they already had and if they match then I'm legit and they would ship the tumbler. After 2 long phone calls to Mastercard I gave up trying to get the required number angered and frustrated with Mastercard's version of "Customer service" and was prepared to cancel the order. I emailed Tower Hobbies and told them the above and gave them what I considered proof of my legitimacy (a link to this thread among other things) and if all that wasn't enough then please cancel my order and please don't take my money . To their credit they accepted that and promptly shipped the tumbler. So for international customers be aware of that...supposedly a common thing but not very common for me...
