Need Help Finding "A-Plus Trains," In Elyria Ohio

[Engi1487]

Hello everyone,

Being from Canada, before Covid-19 hit I ordered two Bachmann 40' High Cube HO Boxcars from a model train store in Ohio that where for a good price. Now that Covid has hit, I cant cross the border to get it at a packaging recieving place I always go to.

I ordered them from a place called "A-Plus TRains," which is located in Elyria Ohio, and is on 130 Chase Street. I need to give a transport broker what the shiopping cost was to put on their forum to shop to me so they know what the overall total was.

Problem is I ended up purging my emails, and I need to call them to ask them if they have a record or estimate of what the shipping was. I tried finding their address on line, and it seems they disappeared.

Any idea if this store existed?

Google search shows nothing for A-Plus Trains.  Google maps show 130 Chase St., Elyria, OH. as a residence in a blue collar looking neighbor hood.

You ordered this before covid?  and your just looking for them now?  

Mike.

Shades of the now-probably-largely-bygone practice of naming your company to appear first in the Yellow Pages listings!

I don't remember seeing AAA mentioned here before, but buying the cheapest price from an unknown company often ends badly.

They disreputable ones charge your credit card for a product that don't have in stock, and don't answer their emails.  Everyone is encouraged to ask, or do a google search before dealing with an unknown company.
