Yes that's correct, the Apex eBay shop is not live stock, however if you look at the estimated delivery time on ebay from Apex it gives them enough time to order the goods and get them to you within the given time, I have posted the following comment fairly recently 'why order from eBay when we know ordering directly from the shop will be cheaper'
Don't get me wrong MB & Inside line have always provided an awsome service, Ross & Micheal do take some beating as a team for customer service.
It's toy cars, personally when I returned to the sport after 23 years I was shocked to find that most spares were back order and normally took the good part of 2 weeks unless you were lucky, I decide to have enough spares to make sure I can get through with both of my sons racing, if they break something it's replaced from my spares straight away, when I get home from the meeting I order a replacement, I am rarely caught out without a spare to get them back out on the track not to mention helping out others at meetings.
This is my way of keeping them racing and I appreciate not all would see my way to be the correct way but I don't get stressed that my sons can't race due to missing parts or waiting for parts.
As I said in my earlier posts it's each to their own approach to how they stock for their hobby, a little thought goes a long way and more laps
