Order Details
Why this store: Seven of the eight McDonald's racers were available. All eight were there a few months ago but I was a little gun shy. Chris also improved his shipping bands so the cost to ship them was much more in line with reality.
Packaging: Almost every lot in its own Ziploc sandwich bag, all in a bubble mailer. All but one of the lots were 4 pieces and under (not my fault, I emptied out lots). Plus a packing slip. The whole package weighed 10.4oz. The 12 baggies plus the packing slip weighed 1.5oz. This means total package weight could have snuck in just under 9oz for a savings of 34c.
Part condition: Fabulous
Communication: Fun and cordial. I really feel like family!
Feedback left: Positive
Odd telltale signs: Full size sandwich baggies for two 1x2 tiles.
Issues: None
Recommendation
Budget Kids is an active part of both Brick Owl and Bricklink forums. He doesn't waste bandwidth either. He claims you will be treated like family and has a loyalty program as well. Part selection is fairly good and communication is excellent. Other than getting a wad of baggies with your order I couldn't find a single thing to complain about. In conversation he mentioned he was getting a slew of smaller baggies so you may not experience that anyway.
*Edit: I just heard from Chris that he has several sizes of smaller baggies in hand.
