HobbyKing good or bad?

[Plensch]

I just got taken for 60 bucks, anyone else had problems?

[JimClark]

what happened?

I've had the occasional slow delivery when shipping from overseas. Also some of the stuff I have ordered over the years was not the best quality. But I understand thats the chance you take when looking for a bargan. Overall I've been satisfied with them and their products. If something craps out, I write it off instead of the hassle of sending it back.

Hobby King = Good!

Just received my first bad pack 6S 30C 5800 Zippy. Sent video and pics to CS and badabing I got store credit for the value of the packs. First problem ever solved very quickly.

I have had good luck with them, if your not in a hurry.

I have had good luck so far with them. I try to order from the USA warehouse when I can though

I have had great luck with HK other than buying that 1/5 buggy Turnigy motor that advertised a 8mm shaft but the motor came with a 12mm shaft . No other issues other than that .

Can you supply some details .

[Doby]

So Peter, you are complaining that you got more than you asked for

[Basstronics]

I usually have pretty good luck with them. I understand when I buy from them Im not getting premium quality on most items.

I bought an electronic GPS that went bad. Shipped to US Warehouse and got a refund via store credit without much hassle. Bought a hull and it arrived with a warped lid. Now I got hassled on that one and Im waiting for a proper replacement.

I wont buy the batteries anymore unless its for a lower end boat/project that Im unsure of.

I'll buy things that can't arrive doa from HK, wire, bullets, carbon plate etc. I don't buy electronics of any kind from there, batteries included.
And I'll never order something that isn't in stock, you never know if it'll come back in stock.
Not really a bad place to shop if you use a bit of discretion, I also think in the last few months they have started to realize the benefits of providing customer service, sounds like people are having less trouble with returns.
I still shop Canada first, then Europe, US and finally China.

I think the O/P is a one hit wonder - Still only one post .

I have been doing the same, I only buy " Non Perisheable" goods from them. Anything with even a remote possiblity of "having trouble" I buy here, to me this is well worth the expense to off set any grief.
But this mentality also prevents me from having more fun, so I think one must accept a certain risk in order to enjoy a bit, I am not ashamed to admit that I will/shall change my mind in the future. Especially now that I keep hearing HK has improved their CS.

I think they have turned things around a bit , the last 2 orders ive made in the last month or so have been shipped on the day of purchace. Previously id wait any thing from 1 - 1.5 weeks before being shipped & these were in stock items. Most of my orders have been from Hong Kong shipped to the UK.
