I believe Mega Hobby is Stevens International - big
US distributor for many brands. They have a brick and mortar store as well - AAA Hobbies in Magnolia
NJ . I have never ordered from them but I can’t imagine it being a problem - they have been around a long time . I have been to their store.

About the owners:
The Bass family began in the hobby industry in 1955 when Felix Bass, an avid stamp collector, decided to travel among local hobby shops to sell his surplus stamps. In doing so, he saw the variety of other hobby goods stocked by the shops he visited, and decided there was an opportunity to sell the stores those products, too. He and his wife, Inge, cleared space in the basement and main floor of their modest Southern New Jersey home and began to buy model kits, paints and other goods to sell along with his stamps. They worked tirelessly for long hours until they outgrew their space, and subsequently moved to a new home which conveniently came with a large detached garage and storage area. Year after year, the business expanded and became the premier hobby distributor in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Years later in 1982, he left Bass and Co. to partner with his wife, Inge, and his son Michael, to open Stevens International, destined to become one of the largest hobby distributors in the country. Felix continued to work until he passed in 2008 at the age of 81, at which point Stevens was nationally known as one of the premier suppliers for hobby shops across the USA and internationally. Four years later, son Alan joined Michael as the third generation of Bass family in the hobby industry. Alan subsequently became the owner of MegaHobby.com in 2013.
Through three generations, the Bass family has passed down a tradition of caring, ethics, and most importantly, treating every employee and customer like a member of the family. Customer service and loyalty to those who support us has always been at the top of our pyramid. But most importantly, a love of what we do and an appreciation of the passion our customers have for their hobbies is what keeps us going every day. Thank you for being a part of our expanded hobby family!

Their prices used to be worse. They sent an email about 2 months ago indicating they were taking steps to reduce prices, since then they have slowly been reducing prices and now they are more in line with other retailers
