• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

About 3 weeks ago in April I ordered a software title from FSpilotshop. It arrived May 3 by mail but unfortunately package was the wrong title. I e-mailed FSpilotshop that day and received a response that the title would be replaced. Today May 5 who should appear at my door but a FEDEX driver with my replacement software title. Talk about exceptional service. I for one will continue to deal with these people for any future software purchases.

The FS pilotshop isn't just a semi-invisible MSFS conglomerate, it's a pretty cool marketplace run by the same guys who've been behind the scenes at flightsim.com since it's inception. They are all great guys, and it's largely the only place I shop for my payware.

It's good to hear a positive story about an online marketplace.

I kinda think that the SOH staff could set up a payware side of the house and do well for themselves selling military addons. It'd be a good way to supplement the retirements of a few around here that deserve it. It might also streamline donationware ops for some of our down-home style developers that frequent SOH.
 
Nice to hear about positives experiences from online vendors. I've bought from them a few times and never had an issue, BUT there have been a few bad experiences for users and the developers that sell there that I have been privy to in the past, so as always, Caveat emptor (buyer beware)
 
Have always had good service from them, although most of my purchases are downloads, so delivery time is not really a factor.

The only downside is that I have to keep remembering they don't stock everything!
 
I've heard a few horror stories about them as well, so just be careful when dealing with them.
