FAQs
(Frequently Asked Questions)
  • HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY ORDER?
I'm not Amazon.com, so please don't expect me to ship your order the same day I receive it (although that occasionally happens). Pretty much everything is made-to-order, so there will be a lead time. A typical small order usually ships within a week of payment. Larger orders can take longer. One of the reasons I don't use an online ordering cart and ask you to send a message is because I might need to let you know of a potential delay or an availability issue.


  • DO YOU SELL SETS OF FIVE WHEELS AND TIRES FOR TRUCKS?
Yes, I do. For almost all my truck wheels, I have a special spare tire version. The extra cost for the spare is $4-$5 depending on the set.


  • ARE YOU STILL SELLING THE F250 CONVERSION?
Yes, I am. The newest version of the set can be had with any of my 16.5" wheels and tires. Write to me at fireballmodelworks@gmail.com for more info on that set.


  • CAN YOU MAKE (fill in the blank) FOR ME?
Sorry, no, I am not doing any custom work at this time.


  • ARE YOUR HELICOPTER DECALS STILL AVAILABLE?
Sorry, no. I stopped producing helicopter resin and decal sets several years ago and they are no longer available.


  • WHAT ARE "WEIGHTED" TIRES?
When I describe a tire as "weighted", it means there is a flat spot on the bottom and a bulge in the sidewall where the tire contacts the ground. Look as this nifty animation to see the difference.


  • WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ONLINE ORDERING?
Online shopping carts are neat for things that are in stock and ready to ship, but my fulfillment model is the "pull" method, not the "push" method. I don't stock a big inventory, so I can offer lots of different things at little expense on my side. Plus, most webhosts that use shopping carts also take a percentage of each sale. I'd rather avoid that expense and pass the savings on to my customers.
