Makes me wonder if/when Tower will start carrying Traxxas again...
For the record this is not true. Its still up to the seller whether or not you pay tax. Only Amazon Services products are required to have tax. Amazon is the best if you are a prime member, people who hate on them must not like 2 day shipping with easy no hassle return/ replace policies....
Its weird that you can order Traxxas from most hobby websites, and Amazon, but not tower.

Not at all what I said.
Amazon supports the ongoing legislative efforts to collect sales tax on all online purchase, I said nothing about how they currently handle sales tax.

Give it time. Horizon sells Traxxas and they are slowly merging site inventory with Tower.
What is this "2 Day Shipping" you speak of? Been getting 3-4 day shipping with Prime at best... Even then they seem to be pooping the bed lately...
Gawd forbid they use AMZL (Amazon Logistics) or even worse, LaserShip (whatever the hell that is!) for shipping... Those guys make the Post Office look like superstars...
Weird, I live in the middle of no where and I always get 2 day shipping. If its not here in 2 days, I get on chat with support and they give me a free month lol. Id say 1 out of every 10 orders is here in 2 days. To date though Ive probably received about 8 free months of service.
Maybe I misinterpreted your comment, I took supports tax as in currently is doing it. Either way, Im a taxation is theft kind of guy, but if were going to live in this socialist mess it makes sense to tax everything and anything they can get their(government) greedy little hands on.

Tower Super Saver Club coupons got worse, overall, this month. I don't think this is the first time they've cut back on the coupons though.
$8 off $48 = 16.67%
$15 off $99 = 15.15%
$30 off $199 = 15.08%
$45 off $299 = 15.05%
$60 off $399 = 15.04%
$75 off $499 = 15.03%
Now they are:
$10 off $70 = 14.29%
$23 off $150 = 15.33%
$38 off $249 = 15.26%
$52 off $350 = 14.86%
$66 off $450 = 14.67%
$84 off $550 = 15.27%
$8 off $48 = 16.67%
$15 off $99 = 15.15%
$30 off $199 = 15.08%
$45 off $299 = 15.05%
$60 off $399 = 15.04%
$75 off $499 = 15.03%
Now they are:
$10 off $70 = 14.29%
$23 off $150 = 15.33%
$38 off $249 = 15.26%
$52 off $350 = 14.86%
$66 off $450 = 14.67%
$84 off $550 = 15.27%

Aw man... it's getting harder and harder for me to order from them. I had a few things in my cart I should've just purchased.
Worse coupons, sales tax now....

Makes me miss those $20 off $50 coupons I used to get from Tower even more.

Haven't ordered from tower in ages, mostly because shipping takes ages compared to amain.

Do you Canadians not have a good, online hobby shop? It seems everybody in Canada orders from the US.

No, we don't. We have one or two, but they never have any stock.

Odd. Somebody in Canada should start an online hobby shop and profit...

I had a supplier for plastic static model kits who was in Washington, and had both US and Canada stores. Great resource and concept . Sadly sold the store and retired.

its not an easy profit. and it takes awhile to profit. plus, you need at least 300k to start a good hobby shop online or not.
Sadly, that's happening to a lot of old, good hobby shops. Kids don't want to take over so they close up shop.
Making money isn't easy and it takes money to make money. But if you find a niche that hasn't been filled yet it can be easier.
Just saw this on Facebook. Their coupons for worse and their prices went up. Is Horizon planning to run Tower into the ground again?
This was supposed to be two pics showing a drastic price increase...
