wholesaletrains.com you have to be kidding right? They are absolutely disgusting when it comes to ordering anything. They have so many complaints against them for:
ordering
shipping
customer service
product knowledge
that the BBB is considering having a site specifically for them.
This IS one place to avoid at all costs, in fact, they are so bad - I wouldn't use them if my life depended on it. By the way, my views are based on Personal Experience.

PS: It is; however, a good place to walk in and shop if you know what you want.
I have found that most of the stores on this thread (for better or worse) have not changed that much since this thread was begun back in '09 in terms of service. I have found that my favorite stores (they havent changed much) are those that, in addition to good/excellent exceptional service, clearly state the shipping charges that will be billed to you. There is nothing worse when opening an order and seeing some surprise shipping and handling charges.
I remember seeing an email about 18 monthas ago from Internettrains.com saying that they were under new management. You could tell they were trying to win back some customers from some mis-steps by previous management. I havent ordered from them, but occasionally they have a sale or two where I am tempted to pull the trigger. Just what I need and what they have on sale have not yet come together.
If it was flex track and a built up it would be almost impossible to ship in the same box if they use USPS and boxes.How hard is it to put one section of track and 2 built up models in a box, seal it and send it???

We would have to do it in 2 boxes.
