That's my biggest gripe about Hobby King. Amazon and Tower keep my stuff in the shopping cart forever. Hobby King kills it off in a matter of hours. With hobby stuff I like to build up my cart over a matter of months and put stuff in the cart over time. And that's why I've never purchased anything from them even though I've put things in their cart a dozen times.

Google software blurs out faces, license plates, signs....and sometimes it misses things and
sometimes it blurs something out for no good reason.
My old pal Walt stopped in at Tower Hobbies once, they told him it was not in any way open to the public.
There is a store here in the Twin Cites that does a lot of Mail order and also has a retail operation.
It called Hobbyzone in Plymouth Minnesota. I have been there
and bought a Parkzone Wildcat from them a few years back.
I stopped in at Hobby Lobby (in Brentwood Tennessee, now Hobby Express) and the retail store is very small,
I think they probably do 99.5% of their business via mail order and the internet.

lawton, ok
why did I have my address blurred out?? I did it simply to get the steps down so that I could put out how to do it for my clients of my business. No other reasons. But for those that want to have their address blurred, or parts of their address blurred, here's what you need to do.
1. Find your address in maps.google.com
2. Open up your address in street view
3. At the bottom of the page you should see "Report a problem", click on this
4. This will bring up the page for requesting the image (or partial) blurring. it will ask the details for the blurring.
5. This can take up to a few weeks for it to happen, but eventually they will get around to blurring our your home from google street view.
Hope this helps

When I first heard that there was an HK warehouse here in Arkansas, I was hoping that it would be close enough to me to go look at it. But it is 150 miles plus each way and no assurance they would even allow folks in to look around if we were to go. I suppose there is no earthly way to contact them by phone. Even when they perform flawlessly (if that ever happens) there always feels like there is something not quite right with the whole HK set up.
I did some searching for this warehouse in Arkansas because every year we drive down there to visit family. From what I found out, it is in Jonesboro. It would add 1 hour drive to our 19 hour drive if I decided to detour to it. So I got the brilliant idea of asking HK if they have a storefront like they do in their West Warehouse in California. Their response is no, it does not have a storefront like the West Warehouse, unfortunately. That would have saved me a ton of cash on shipping. But oh well, at least they are closer now.

You can request to Google to blur your address, or even a partial part of your address for any reason. If you go to maps.google.com and put in my address you will see that it is blurred out. my address

I'm sure the State of Arkansas gives some tax incentives for new businesses locate there as a way to boost employment. The Smart warehouse is a ;low overhead way to get space and I'm sure that particular one is shared with a couple of other enterprises, in other words, Hobby King don't occupy the entire building. Actually a better location from a shipping standpoint than Tacoma. Wonder how long it will be before they close that one.

LoL...why would they close it? No doubt they got tax breaks and incentives to start in WA as well. It's gone from rumors that the warehouse wasn't real, to wondering when it will close? Guess business is up sufficiently to warrant two warehouses, who know, maybe even more. I'm surprised Texas didn't get one.

$19 billion in incentives per year, and they claim to have half of all new private sector jobs in the past 10 years in the US. $19 billion....wow.

This is the Lakewood, WA location just south of Tacoma and right out the back gate of FT Lewis and McCord. It is
a small rent a space in a local industrial park and they really do use the UPS parcel service location as their drop ship point. They did that because the had a mailbox there and for years it kept everyone from knowing where they were really located. Note the is nothing that says Hobby King on the door.

Why should it have a sign??
Why should thew allow the public in or at the warehouse?
It's a processing center not a retail store front. Very few internet business have a brick and mortar presence.
You're still trying too hard to spin something out of nothing,, stick with the crappy customer service angle,, that's a legitimate gripe,,, how they process orders is irrelevant.
