I broke the skag off my mercury 150. They had me drop it off in the morning. I received a Curtsey call from Jenn that they were painting the skag and start driving in and it will be done before you get there. I left my house and rolled in to my boat ready for hookup. They charged a good price and I was more than satisfied with the service received from beginning to end. I recommend these guys to anyone that runs into a rock like I did.

Generally their shipping is quite fast. In saying that in the past when an item was slow to ship and they could not complete the entire order they did not charge me shipping which was unexpected, but a nice touch I thought. However, their products always arrive well packaged. Never have I had a product damaged when shipped by Hiawatha Hobbies. I absolutely recommend Hiawatha Hobbies and will continue to use them going forward. They are a great stop for model railroaders.
