Has anyone ever ordered from Active Powersports? Been looking everywhere for Peco #5 and they have both left and right in stock. Is it a trustworthy site?

If you do a Google search for reviews of it, you'll see a lot of negative comments in various forums, mostly RC forums. I've never bought anything there myself.

This has come up before, the reviews are slow, imcomplete shipping if they ship at all. In stock is a fiction.  It's not a brick and mortar store, as I recall.  Caveat emptor.

But you are right to ask, rather than sending money.

Agreed with the in stock being fiction.  I had been searching for a set of athearn cars that was out of stock everywhere but their website showed that they had it.  Somewhat skeptical, I emailed them and they said that they didn't have it in stock but would backorder it.  Glad I didn't place that order.
