Yea i'm wondering what's up with the shipping as well.
I tried to call Cox all day..(man never thought I say that!) got voice mail all day...
no shipping confirmation in my email and I ordered the sucker on 12/19 at 10am EST.
Hmmmmmmmmm.
Also.. no charge to my card as of today.

Hey Sleepy,
I tried all day today as well and got the good ole voice mail to. My bet is they are gone for the holiday and when they return, probably on Monday, we will here who got them and who snoozed and was to late. I am keeping my fingers crossed as I would like to have a back up.

As much as I wanted my next plane to be a larger 260 I woulda pulled the trigger on this one if it did not have so many folks having zero contact with Cox. Have engine and gear already.

Good luck and I hope everyone gets their order.

It's the first two wing I saw in an ad that I got serious about and then it went into limbo. Tried (too early) to get one. Now a fire sale ?

I just can't (will not) do business with an outfit I can't communicate with. Maybe after Christmas.

Hey guys, they are closing out of all their big stuff. They never quite put the effort into the line to make a success out of it. As a matter of fact they own the rights to Pica and if you remember their kit line it was nice line. I have a good friend whose sister works there, he is on the way to colorado now to visit. I am sure Cox may be closed due to the holiday's, if my source is correct once they are gone they are gone. I am sure the automated system taking orders is hooked to a inventory source for tracking. I don't think they ever sold many of these from the initial order.
Have fun with them, I am on the fence and think I will hold off due to what I already have.

SleepyC · 12-23-2008, 10:57 AM

Closed for the Holidays?.......CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!!!
BAHHHH HUMBUG!
I WANT MY INFORMATION NOW!
NO HOBBY STORE SHOULD BE CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS..!!!!!!!!!

No EXCUSES!

Now they better call me ASAP before I leave to spend some quality time with my family for the Holidays.

They are not closed I just got through to there tech department and was told there phones are ringing of the hook Try this number 1-866-532-6962

SleepyC · 12-23-2008, 04:01 PM

did they say if they are shipping the orders?
i can't get anyone.

DaleW2 · 12-23-2008, 05:33 PM

I called and got hold of an actual person. There was a lot of yakking going on in the background that sounded like others were calling in with the same type questions I had.
Bottom line is that they know nothing other than what is posted on your Order Tracking; View Order History location on the website. Mine says the order was received but no Order Number yet.

I knew I wouldn't have it under the tree for Christmas, but I do hope to get an order number by then

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you I ordered 2 !!!!!! I guess will just have to hang tight sort of like a lottry ticket?

ChickenStick Rick · 12-23-2008, 05:52 PM

I just got a hold of someone on the phone. They had no specifics as to my order, but did say that are still in stock.

Just received a message on my voicemail from the folks at Cox/Estes.......

Won't be getting the Pitts 12 I ordered on 12/20, as the number of orders placed overwhelmed the stock on hand.

Ah well wishing it was otherwise but at least I know now.

ChickenStick Rick · 12-23-2008, 05:54 PM

Well so much for being in stock. I am sure that means I will not get mine either as I ordered mine on the 21st. I knew I should have ordered earlier.

SleepyC · 12-23-2008, 05:54 PM

Hmm. i was in on 12/19.... HMMMMMMMMM

Hey Rick,

Tom Drake's 35% Pitts 12 is looking for a baby brother..........if I make a drive "down South" to get out of this cold, snowy weather perhaps yours will be looking for a new home hmmmm.....?
