Why I Shop At RACS
There are plenty of reasons why any self-respecting anime fan should shop at Robert's: huge selection, a sense of humor, low shipping costs, speedy service, and a huge commitment to customer service are just some of them.
Here's another one.
A few days ago, I was at work when the folks from the mail desk came by and dropped a load of stuff in front of me. Most of it was crap ("Junk, junk, invoice, junk, credit memo yay, invoice, invoice, junk..."), but there at the bottom was a small-ish box with the distinctive RACS shipping label on it.
"Huh?" said I, for I haven't placed an order there in a couple of months. Using my handy-dandy boxcutter (we get a LOT of boxes at the Duck U. Bookstore, after all), I sliced it open and found... an envelope?
And underneath the envelope?

Robert had e-mailed me out of the blue back around that terrible day, extending his condolences and sharing some personal experiences that helped, but this was entirely unexpected.
I'm a customer for life.

Robert does seem to be uniquely a class act.

RACS quickly became my sole supplier of all things anime (after I got an order full of Chinese bootlegs from another supplier). Their service is excellent, and I enjoy his weekly email newsletter. I don't know the man personally, but he's always seemed like a stand-up guy, and this just proves it.
