Looks like TBG are taking the cheap option and recycling old boxes fancy sending an expensive body shell in an old food box thats just disrespectful to your customers it would make me think twice about ordering from them again the postage is not even cheap.

am suprised at this!
I got two shells from TBG, a Bigwig and Supershot. found them to be packaged very well and actually liked that they used a box from something else.
As long as the box is clean does it matter?
Also, they may have got a lot of boxes that were incorrectly made or printed for cheap. would you rather they used a new box at the additional cost (and environmental impact) ?

As for the import tax in to the UK, they, the UK Customs and Excise ahve clamped down on imports a lot lately. I often send stuff from AUS (not e-bay or anything, just family gifts) and have to be careful now other wise they will pay import tax.
TBG cant be blamed for that.

Hay Ewe

Agree on that, nothing against recycling boxes and didn't have a problem with them before (5 shells so far) but the last box was poor quality and packed badly (tape didn't hold the box together which made it less stable) and being a tight fit not much room for the shell after the mailmen tried there destructive forces on the box. still awaiting the arrival of the replacement, hope it will arrive in the next couple of days.

HI!... TBG factory is only a few hours from where I live. I've never had a problem with any of their boxes or shipping. I've probably bought over 20 bodies from them. Always a ton of packing material around the bodies. They have included free stuff a bunch of times like extra bodies and wings ETC.

Aaah, hop ups

The mailman was very kind for me today...




Cheers, Bram

Bram you lucky man

Hope your all right about TBG as i need to order a Bush Devil body from them soon the taxes are a real turn off though as the bodies already £30.00

wait till the landfreeder gets available than you can get the 'original' bush devil and no problems with customs if you can get them in the uk or germany.

not sure if the mounting holes will work on it though?
