Recent Hobby King Shipping Foulup
I ordered a couple of LiPo batteries from HK early in Jan,14. Through some mixup (maybe mine) the order was listed for "Local Pickup"in Lakeland, WA. To their credit, they sent me an Email asking me if this was correct. I tried to arrange to have it sent to my home in TX. I paid a Paypal request from HK for the shipping charge. Then the fun began! After 2 wks of Emails & 3 chats wherein I was promised the shipment would be made within 2 days, I cancelled the order tonight. We'll see if my refund to PP comes through within 2 wks.. I've made many orders from HK that went fine. But once things get messed up, good luck on their CS to get it right.
My latest info is that HK's USA Warehouse consists of a guy who drop ships through a UPS store in Lakeland, WA.
Anyone know more about them?

READ THE LINKS POSTED BY KEYMAN regarding the BBB on page three here. Thanks for the link Keyman. I can vouch for the articles. I own a small business, was a member & dealt w BBB for years. It is a "pay for play" sham just like the articles say. I know FIRST HAND !

So lets revisit the OP title. Not Screwed By Hobby King.
OK, a gent over on another site reported that Hobby King are now informing people by Email (well after the fact) if an item that was in stock when they placed an order and then went backorder. They will allow you to remove it from your order and give you store credit.....
STORE CREDIT? That means they already took your money and now they get to sit on a portion of it until you use it.

Flyinwallenda is right, they can take a month or more to credit your account. As for the bull crap statement, go lokk on RC groups in the Hobby King forum. I didn't make this up and FWIW it IS just another way for them to hold on to their customers money as long as possible without providing a product. Why people think they are getting a good deal is beyond me cause I'm always reminded of the old addage, penny wise and pound foolish.

Do you also ask for pictures of the chicks you place orders with? Just wondering:-)
Happy discussion! It was due, it was like 2 weeks since the last HK thread...

I understand the OP... but it is wasted breath arguing. No-one is going to change someone else's opinion on this matter. I do appreciate hearing the bad stories as well as the good. I thing fundamentally, hobby king is a good company. There are always problems in mail order, especially from the other side of the world.

Yeah welcome to the hot chicks forum. Speaking of hot chicks, I hope the good folks at Hobby King poke some holes in the those shipping boxes like they do for for a lot of their airplanes.
