Another place I've bought some of my Cosmo gear from - this time in Ohio in the US. Good service - both orders I have so far put in took just over a couple of weeks to arrive as I believe they handle all the customs charges (at least I haven't had to pay any additional lol) - still not bad going from the States. As the name suggests they sell other things as well as darts - eg train sets, pool, billiards, etc. Again well worth a look

Thanks for the links Mike, very handy!

Nice, didn't know of this site. Thanks

Just to update this thread - this is where I got my new Royden Lam super kites from.

They took almost a month to get to me - but this wasn't down to the shop, it was down to the postal services somewhere. They were sent the day after I ordered on 27th February and they arrived with me two days ago on 22nd March.

Not sure whether they were held up in customs over here or in the US, or whether my local post office held on to them, but AAA Plus Trains & Darts were very quick in despatching - they still get a 10/10 from me.

Excellent stuff mc1958- this good posting and much appreciated mate.

Shops Summary updated

Used Mike's posting for the shop as was seeking rare Cosmo Rockets. Came very well packed but took a full 2 weeks as orders aren't shipped out everyday.
Good email communication in that they were only able to ship 1/2 my order due to awaiting stock, but no charge for the 2nd package which followed the 1st within the week and they communicated the whole thing clearly and accurately.

Good to hear and good to hear from ya Dog. Surely Lefty544 will update the chart when back from va-k

Have used AAA several times now - yes it takes a few days for Scott to send his gear out to me but I think that is because he is taking care of the customs charges etc. I agree it is all very well packed and communications are excellent. He has lots of player signature flights and rocket inside flights which aren't available in the UK.

I'm actually waiting on a package at the moment which I think should turn up shortly - although another week or two won't matter as I did get the post on this order as a freebie lol. This order includes several sets of the rare rocket insides lol.

I'm even working on my next order for a couple of weeks time when they get the new Fit Flight Gear hybrid shafts in.

Halo in the UK has Rockets etc I discovered today Mike FYI and the future.

Unfortunately they only do 4 of the colours at the moment. I generally use the clear black and I have a couple of sets of those on the way from Halo (hopefully they will turn up tomorrow) - the ones I have on the way from AAA though are some of the clear sparkles ones and also the Dave Fatum signature ones with the scorpion on them.

When you say he takes care of the customs charges do you mean he pays them? Thats the only thing that puts me off sometimes is paying the silly charges that RM and customs stick on.

I had some darts from A-Z arrive the other week, on the box it had a sticker saying the charge must be paid before been delivered, I never paid any charge so not sure what went wrong there. It was £15 but £8 of that was RM's handling fee. Think I will keep quiet and hope they dont send me a bill.

Their customer service is excellent. Scott answers emails quickly and was very helpful. The darts I ordered had to be ordered from Cosmo directly. I don't think he stocks the dart sets, just the stems and flights. I just hope I never get the train-jones!!!!

Just seen your post elsewhere and was going to reply there - I assume the darts are the Dragons you mentioned. I'd love a set of those but they are a tad too expensive. I asked Halo in the UK if they could get me a set and how much it would be a couple of months back as I just got a bonus from work - my message got forwarded to Rob Heckman himself but I never heard any more. Spent the money now so won't be chasing it up lol.

When you get them can you please post some pictures for us. Many thanks.

Will do. I agree about the price, especially since they are a new company to darts. I wanted a set of Mawlers first. I saw Gary Mawson beat Phil Taylor, but I found out he was a Canadian so I did a little more research and learned that Rob is American.

Think Gary Mawson was born in the U.K. but brought up in Canada, I could be wrong though!

Cant wait to see pics of them too!

The Mawlers are the other set that Cosmo make that I would like as well lol. Looking forward to seeing the pics of the Dragons though - many thanks in advance.

Got the shipping notice from Scott this morning, so his timeline was right on. He also said the carbon shafts will be available on the 28th and will go for $38 for 4 shafts. I asked him why 4. I'll probably go for a set when the full size ones come out. The first release will be slim shafts. I'd better go look for my camera.

$38 wow! not cheap at all!

Yeah, especially since that new Milwaukee 2457-20 M12 Cordless 3/8'' Ratchet is calling my name.

Got my Dragons yesterday. Nine days from placing the order and getting the darts. Scott kept me posted and they arrived in the time frame he quoted. Overall, an excellent experience and they will be my go to company for Cosmo stuff.

Nice one Sal, look forward to seeing your pics of them!

Here's an E-mail from Scott.

Hello Larry,

I was preparing to send your order and found that I made a error.



I would like to propose a solution.



I for some reason have shafts that are one size too big. They are the size 3 24.0 mm, not the size 2 18. mm that you ordered.



I would like to propse that I send you these 2 sets of wrong ones with your order and then send you the right ones next week when I get them at my expense.



I am very sorry for this but I think this is a good resolution as it would give you also a chance to try a different size and maybe share them with your friends.



Please advise if you feel my resolution is ok.



Thank you

Scott Easterday

This shop gets a 10 outta 10 from me, thats the way to get my business. Lefty update please buddy.

That is good customer service. I wish they had a bigger selection of darts.

That is one of the best responses I've ever heard DILLIGAF take note of how to properly run it please

Definitely my favourite overseas shop - I'm still thinking about what else to order with a couple of sets of the new hybrid stems lol.

They do have a great selection of cosmo gear. It's like Mike died and went to heaven lol

Almost - it's a shame they don't do the two tone Cosmo stems and some of the non-signature flights with pics on as well, then it would be heaven lol

email their asses

I don't think an email would help as Cosmo don't actually make the two tone stems themselves, they just license them out - same with the non-sig piccy flights. I've only seen them in shops in Japan, but apart from Far East Darts who do some of the stems, none of the Jap shops send direct to the UK.
