Main trading Company
« on: June 12, 2020, 10:51:51 PM »

In the last several months I have purchased a radio and several other pieces of Ham gear from Main Trading Company. In every case they have quickly shipped the products to me and have had a excellent price. They seem to be a wonderful company.

They are.  MTC is always the first place I go if I'm looking to buy ham gear.  If MTC has it, I buy it without looking anywhere else.

I've had good luck with MTC with online and in-store purchases.

I bought a Kenwood TS-590SG "B-stock", and it has been great.  My brother bought one, as well.  It had an issue.  He sent it back, and they replaced it in short order with no hassle.

Based on their performance, I have confidence in this vendor.

Ordered an Icom IC2300 from them Sunday and received it today. I opted for the free snail mail. They had the best price and saved me about 30 dollars tax and shipping. They even printed the rebate form and sent 2 copies of the invoice. Great doing business with a small company. I will look to them first from here on.

Agree. MTC has been best with price and service. They've replaced HRO as one of my "go-to" Ham dealers.

Richard and Christine are a 'mom and pop' operation in the heart of Paris, TX.  When you call, you are talking to the boss.  Great prices and they keep their customers informed on availability of products.

MTC is the absolute best.  I always check if they have it first.  And as far as price. I gave up price checking them long ago. If they have it order it. You will be getting the best price. Richard and Christine are good people. Companies like theirs need our support these days.

MTC in Paris, TX is a superb company. Honest, quick to ship, and outstanding customer service. I will do business with them again and highly recommend them as well.

Glad some folks have had good encounters with this company.  I certainly did not.  Inquired on line using their form, no response.   I sent them a form about an item I was considering selling locally and never heard from them.  So not sure about their salesmanship but certainly a flop for me.  Won't be contacting them ever again, either about buying or trading or selling.  I cannot call during the day from work due to restrictions.

I've done a couple of transactions with them too, and was pleased with the prices and service.  If they have what you want, at a price that's good for you, you'll be happy with them.

I bought from MTC my first radio a B rated Icom 718 that performed great and three years later I traded the 718 for a Icom 7100. Never a problem. Fair trade in value. Promp shipping. Excellent company to deal with!

Great company. A couple of years ago I purchased a 756 Pro3. Unfortunately when it got to my house, it had no output. Returning it was absolutely painless. No questions, no accusations, just cheerfully refunded me. I was disappointed they didn't have anything comparable at the time, and wound up buying a 7600 from a private seller, but I'd buy from MTC in a heartbeat.  You know, everyone is happy with a seller when all goes well, but the true colors of a company show with how they handle issues- and MTC shows true class and commitment to the customer.

I recently purchased an Icom AH-705 automatic antenna tuner from Main Trading Company through their website. They are very easy to do business with, very fast shipping and their prices are always excellent. I'm glad that I looked at their website before ordering and will do so for my next purchase.

To WOBKR they do list in the fine print to use the form and If you have not heard from us in three business days, please check your spam folder and then call us 903-737-0773.   Sorry about your work "restrictions" but that's no reason to bash a company.    I'd find a new job if you can't make a personal call at lunch.    2 cents.
