Major Kudos go to Revell For Customer service !!  Sunday I found ot about Revell offering replacement tires for the Olds so I did the process to get them.  Expected at least a Month turn around. Got the tires today ....  5 business days later Stuff like this is why I think they are one of the best Modeling companies around

 I agree. I've used their replacement parts service quite a few times.

 

Plus they make some really great kits!

 

If given the choice between Revell or another company's kit of the same subject, I always prefer Revell.

I've had good experience as well.  I'm working on the 57 Chevy 2 door sedan, and found that the rear bumper was missing when I went to check the parts.  They had a replacement to my door within 2 weeks.  Nice to know someone stands behind their products.  :)

Next to IKEA, Revell has absolutely the best spare parts replacement policy I have ever come across. I wrote them, in need of a few new parts which I broke customizing... Since it was my own mistake I could no longer use the parts originally purchased with the model, I emailed the Revell German office with an inquiry if I could buy specific replacements only directly from them. They asked me to send them my address, and I received the exact requested parts several weeks later, without any kind of charge (not even shipping). Very impressive service, which additionally inspires me to buy their fantastic product evermore :D

Greg, The first run of the kits did not include the tampo printed tires, just plain black wall tires.

I have went though them twice. Once for a Camaro body that was a short shot. Never a question or issue.

Easy and quick unlike the gauntlet at Round 2!

Yes, tops in service with the most recent issue I had, which happened to also be the 50 Olds tires.  One was mispunched and unuseable in any way.

I have used their service a number of times before and I must say they really are the best at customer service. Thank you Revell.

I'll add my 2 cents here as well.

 

I have used their customer service on a few occasions and received nothing but the best service one could expect. Several years ago I picked up a Revell 69 Camaro and tossed it on my stash. A year or two went by and I had the urge to build a Camaro I opened my kit and to my surprise the rear quarter panel on the drivers side was mostly missing. Kinda looked like the styrene didn't flow in the mold properly.

 

Anyway, a quick call to Revell and a few laughs with their customer service rep. and a replacement kit was sent my way.

 

There are many companies who could learn a thing or two from Revell about customer service.

I did also. I'm hoping that I get the same great results that others have.
