I would like to get some opinions about
Universal Radio, Inc., located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

My reason for asking is they seem to never ship on time
and always have to back order, sometimes taking 30 days
or more to back order.

I've ordered several small orders from
them and never had any problems.

I've ordered a few things from them and had good luck.

My impression is phone orders get processed faster than on line ones.

All Electronics is another outfit that seems to process phone orders faster than internet ones.

I've had the same experience with them, they did say when I phoned them
to chase an online order that they always had a LARGE amount of on line
orders. I was also quoted 30 days but the kit has always arrived much
quicker than that, even taking into account customs at this end.

I always had good service from them over the years. No complaints. I bought
a Sony SW 100 off their used equipment site once for about $180 and it was
spotless.
So they are good company from my experiences.

My telephone introduction is, "I'd like to get a price on an item but only
if you have it in stock and can ship it immediately". That filters the
just-in-time philosophy out of the ordering process.

I ordered some filters for an Icom 706 from them last summer.
Prompt, courteous service, only one filter backordered, and it shipped
exactly when they said it would (earlier, come to think of it).

I'd say deal with them with confidence. I've never had a problem,
anyway.

Only if the dealer you call is honest.

I bought a new radio from Universal Radio
and got a radio that didn't work and was a
return from a prior sale.

THe people at Universal Radio restock used
radios and sell them as new.

**** UNIVERSAL RADIO, I will never do business
with these crooks again.

Not bad, 90% approval.
Sounds like they can be trusted to do a good job.
