I put in an order with WOOT3 recently and discovered, after 4 weeks, that they don't use Airmail.They use surface mail, so delivery times are 8 to 12 weeks.
They do not advertise this fact so be careful.

If you are happy to wait, you can get cheap models. If you don't want to wait 3 months, buy local.

What's WOOT3? Cheap and fast delivered models = Maelstrom.

about 15% to 20% cheaper than Maelstrom on most items.

That's why they send via surface mail.

Its free postage, that's why they send surface.

Exchange rate is between you and the bank you use, and that varies on a daily basis.

Its been over 3 months now.
I don't expect to see my models, so I'm putting in a dispute for the Credit Card payment.

I really don't recommend buying from this company.

on a related topic, my maelstrom order (a new high elf prince/noble set) arrived right on time yet again.  Derrick do you want a game of fantasy 2250pts vs my high elves next sunday?  You are high on my list of good friends that I have never played before.  I promise not to use my ts2 list - instead i'll run some kind of almost as cheesy list but with a mounted prince or something.  Maybe my wacky fighting wizard prince or something, the scroll-caddy knight even.

Most of my order arrived... finally and surprisingly!
If the company had responded to any of my emails I would've had more faith in them.

I will not buy from them again.

Now I have just over 2 months to get them all painted Sad
Think I'll have to borrow a painted army instead.

What arrived:
  Lizardmen Battalion box
  Salamanders

Still waiting for:
  Kroxigors
  Terradons

I liked Simon's Gobbo bret theme so I thought with some heavy conversions for something different, I could probably manage a Lizard - Lizardmen theme, where all the models look like lizardmen. What do you think? too original maybe?

By God! That's going to be a hard one to pull off, Derick... But, you know, it's so crazy, it may just work!
