Sometimes, it isn't so much the hobby shop, it is the distributor that forces you to go elsewhere.

Exactly.
To be honest, in the past parcelforce have been ace, picked up and delivered stuff on-time and when the guy comes to deliver stuff i've ordered he gets me out of bed at 7:30!!! Only people to ever improve on them has been FedEx!! who are obviously rather expensive!!
But i still dont like that i have to pay £13.50 for them to just hand parcel round their depot in Coventry, and it is the same place cause the sticker on the box that arrived today confirmed it!
As for parts for the Tamiya, i can actually get the essentials here and I in fact ordered some arms from DMS the other day. Its just as i've said about three times, nowhere in the UK had the majority of the bits i wanted, so i ordered from Champ cause i knew they did.
