I am not any longer able to offer any positive comments about MB Klein's mail order packaging or customer service, so I'll stop right there.
I now shop elsewhere.
rrinkerNote that rather than scoff at or wring their hands at this new "internet" thing, they were early adopters, and it paid off well for them.
So true. I think about the best model railroad shop in my area that was stocked to the ceiling with everything imaginable for decades. A great old time hobby shop. They didn't embrace anything new and are now gone while MB Klein is thriving.

Rats, doon't know if I will be up for the trip down to Timonium, I have to go to Vegas the week before for work and get home Friday night.
They do say they are considering an option for local pickup for those who live close, so you could place an order on the web site, then drive over and pick it up, which will be nice.
Note that rather than scoff at or wring their hands at this new "internet" thing, they were early adopters, and it paid off well for them. They still have a superior ordering and inventory system compared to most other online retailers, which continues to amaze me.
