USPS Shipping Options Not Working 4/11/2012

AtomicMods — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:29:48 GMT

USPS changed their software interface, and now their shipping options aren't showing up in our check out process. If you're ordering a small part and it qualifies for USPS first class, choose UPS Ground and we'll refund the difference to your credit card. All you need to do is drop a note in the "customer instructions" when placing the order.

If you want Priority Mail, choose UPS Ground and drop a note in "customer instructions" for your shipping choice. UPS Ground and Priority Mail are around the same price for domestic shipping, so there would be no refund on Priority Mail. We're working to get this fixed ASAP, so bear with us. Thanks

BigAssGrassHopper.com? 3/29/2012

AtomicMods — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:26:11 GMT

My newest website, BigAssGrasshopper.com is now live. You're wondering; "Now why would Rob create a web site about gargantuan insects? Has he lost his mind?" Well maybe I have, but that's not the reason. You'll have to visit www.BigAssGrasshopper.com to learn why.

Priority Mail Option... 1/26/2012

AtomicMods — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:09:24 GMT

We've added USPS Priority Mail as a shipping option for packages shipped in the United States. In most cases It's cheaper than other ground shipping methods(3-7 days) and you get it within 2-3 business days anywhere in the U.S., saving you time and money!

Cyber Tuesday & Wednesday! 11/29/2011

AtomicMods — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:29:05 GMT

Our 15% off Cyber Monday was such a hit we've decided to extend it until the end of November, which happens to be Wednesday...

Use the same code as Cyber Monday CB15 in the Promo code box during check out. Better hurry before Rob catches this. He might put a stop to it, because you know how he is about discount codes!

AtomicMods — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 20:04:13 GMT

Don't give Dad another tie or sweater this year! Get him a 50mph Traxxas Boss 302 Mustang, a mountain climbing rock crawler, or sweet Mini-Z! If you're not sure what to get him, give us a call and we can help you out. You can always buy him an Atomicmods Gift card and let him pick out what he wants! Time is running out so don't wait!

Live Cam World Wide 12/23/2009

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:55:38 GMT

Seeing as how were really just a bunch of tech geeks selling R.C. products, Rob though it would be cool to hook up our web cam to the "Live Cam" iPhone Application. If you have an iPhone you can download this app, view, and control our web cam (as well as a few thousand others) live via your phone. Once you've loaded the app you can find our cam under "People". We should be the first cam.

Here's a couple of screen shots from Robs iPhone.

Great Last Minute Gift Ideas. 12/15/2009

AtomicMods — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:31:19 GMT

Don’t Let time run out! Here are some great last minute deals from AtomicMods.com! If you place your orders today you can still get your stuff before Christmas via UPS ground.

Conquer the couch or your desktop with the all new Losi Micro Crawler RTR, or Conquer the real rocks with a Tamiya CR-01 Rock Crawler… For the RC pilot we have the Kyosho Minium ARF AD profile or the Tandem Rescue Heli by e-flight, don’t forget about a mini-z or xmod…they’re always appreciated!

If none of these selections meet your needs, you can always check out the new stuff category for tons more product, or give us a call @ 832-613-6682. We’re here until 6:00pm CST to answer any questions and take orders over the phone.

From everyone here at AtomicMods.com Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

We have Lights For Your XMOD! 12/11/2009

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:33:32 GMT

After spending quite a long time in "XMODS out of stock parts limbo" the command logic head light & Tail light kit is back in stock! We don't know when Radio Shack is going to decide to stop making these again, so I would pick one up if you can.

Don't forget about the XMODRC Forum! 7/9/2009

AtomicMods — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:00:07 GMT

We get a lot of phone calls from folks wondering if this certain strange part or configuration will work on their XMOD or Mini-z. We can pretty much help you with any question you have, but as good as we are here at AtomicMods we still don't have the answer for everything! (I know, shocking isn't it?)

If you're looking to chat with like-minded RC guys, searching for a hard-to-find XMOD part, or looking to share ideas, photos and opinions on that XMODS Rock Crawler you've been working on...XMODRC is the place to be! Click on the photo below for a link to the Forum. You can also find a link to the forum in the site menu on the upper left corner of our site.

New International Shipping Option! 7/8/2009

AtomicMods — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 20:58:46 GMT

Good news for our international customers!

We have added an inexpensive "Flat Rate" shipping option. If your order can fit in a 8" x 5" x 2" (200 x 130 x 43mm) box, and weighs less than 4 lbs (1.8 kg), shipping will only cost $13.50. We are really excited about this new development. It is a huge step forward that cuts many countries' shipping costs by half or more.

As much as we strive for perfection on our website, sometimes we just fall short. So there may be instances where items in your order do not qualify for this cheaper shipping, but you still will be presented with the Flat Rate shipping as a choice. If you choose it, we will have to charge you for the difference to ship it. However we will make an effort to notify you beforehand.

Site Offline This Weekend, - 5/11/2009

AtomicMods — Tue, 12 May 2009 18:00:35 GMT

The internet will be down this weekend on Saturday May 16, from 11:00PM CST until 7:00AM Sunday. Well, maybe not the entire internet. Actually just our site will be down. I know what you're thinking...might as well be the whole internet.

As it turns out, our ISP is moving a fiber line due to some construction, so we'll be offline for a few hours. Although the outage will have nothing to do with our server, site protocol says we should still have a picture to illustrate, so here it is:

The Dump Truck Blues

AtomicMods — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:23:21 GMT

If you've been on the site this morning and it seemed a bit slow or quirky, we're having some network issues. Actually, a dump truck hit a fiber line at our ISP in the middle of the night. Likely story, right? Seriously, that really is what happened. We can't make this stuff up.

Our IT department is "working on a solution" and hopefully it will be running smoothly again soon. In the meantime, we're going to Chotzky's.
