I've had "issues" myself with AS&S in the past, but to be honest,
things have gotten better. My advice, if you don't like dealing
with them, Wicks Aircraft Supply is always there (fantastic service/
prices since day-1 for me.....). To further my "confession", the
service between the two now is sort of equal from my point of view
(except for the fact that Wicks has, once again, been fantastic since
day-1). I simply shop the best price and/or availability now.

Bottom line: When there are more than (1) major supplier of
homebuilt/aviation parts around, and the service is acceptable
from both (or more), competition benefits the homebuilder / aircraft
rebuilder.

When I was mad at and having trouble with AS&S, I would buy what I
needed elsewhere regardless of price..... How's that old saying go?
It takes a whole ****load of "at-a-boys" to get rid of one "awe ****"!

FWIW, mypilotstore.com charged less than five bucks to UPS a kid's
jacket and some knicknacks - very reasonable IMO. They don't sell
spruce, though. :-D


You should get a commercial account with UPS or Fed ex, even if u do a very
large volume 5.00 is still partionally subsided by the store.
