RCDumbThumbs DIY Discounts!
Congrats on finding this page! We love the “do-it-yourselfers” of this earth. I’m talking about the folks that hit this site, know how to search and find what they are looking for, put it in their basket and run through the checkout leaving a note on the way out that simply says “thanks!” This page is dedicated to you good people! All too often we get calls from folks “demanding” a discount or to match someone else’s prices or a “what’s the VERY BEST you can do for me on this deal?” In such cases, we pretend to scratch our heads, stall them on the phone a bit with our standard “I shouldn’t be doing this but let me see what I can do” script and then finally give them one of the discount codes right off this very page. They go away with a great deal and the added feeling that they have “won” the game and we are happy to oblige them after all, we want everyone to go away with a great feeling. And of course we get quite a chuckle out of it.
It’s not that we don’t love talking to folks on the phone or don’t want to be bothered, it just that we do get pretty busy packing, shipping and ordering and appreciate the folks that are self servicing. This site is targeted at exactly those people. On this site you can search for and find your items, check stock levels, apply your own discounts, checkout, and then check the status of your order. On this site we award or loyal customer base of DIY folks with the best possible bargains. So let’s start with the basics:
Free Shipping
In case you didn’t see it on the main page, we offer free shipping on ALL orders over $100. This offer extends to ANY and ALL orders within the contiguous U.S. Of course, we get to choose the shipping method but most of the time it is actually USPS Priority mail for small stuff and UPS Ground for bigger stuff. You don’t need to call us or do anything special except run your shopping cart loaded with over $100 in items through the checkout process and leave the “Choose shipping method for me and ship it free!!” option selected and you won’t pay a dime for shipping we promise. If you want to upgrade your shipping and pay for it yourself you certainly have the option to do so.
Oh my god you didn’t just click on the link did you? Because if you did and your basket has over $300 worth of items, you will receive an ADDITIONAL 10% off your entire order and there’s nothing we can do to stop you! If you are a repeat customer and you attempt to apply that coupon code your shopping cart will explode. Ok... fine... Go ahead and click the link and get your coupon code. If you are afraid to click the link, simply use coupon code
1stTimeCustomer during the checkout process and all orders over $300 are subject to having 10% ripped right off the top of the order. If you are a repeat customer and click on that link we might just let you get away with it. Oh… did I mention that the FREE SHIPPING option still applies?
Loyal Customer Discounts
We LOVE and appreciate customer loyalty! So here’s what we do: Once you have purchased over $500 worth of items – OR - you have placed at least 5 orders – OR - you have placed an order that contains a helicopter kit though our store we will automatically place you in our Carbon Fiber Membership discount group. Once you meet any of the above criteria you will find that the next time you log on to our site you will see special membership pricing. These prices are good on all orders big or small- no minimum order required. This is certainly a great reason for creating an account on this site. We can’t track your purchases easily unless you complete the signup at the end of the checkout process. These discounts range from 7% to 15% depending on the items selected. Whenever we get a break from our vendors it shows up here. And yes, of course, FREE SHIPPING still applies. And if your order breaks over the $300 mark additional discounts are automatically applied to meet or exceed the 10% on orders over $300 that we offer everybody. No need to apply any discount code – they are applied automatically.
Buy a great helicopter kit from us and later when you need a break on the (heaven forbid) crash parts we are here for ya! Customer loyalty is rewarded to the best of our ability. It’s nice to be treated special and we really try to do so. If you believe you have met any of the above criteria and don’t see lower prices once you log in, please contact us with the email address you log on with and we will research the issue ASAP.
