Thanks for your 2 cents............... you always seem to put it in

Yeah cause noone should comment when a guy got paid on the 18th and didn't ship the items immediately after payment cleared or even bothered to contact the buyer after numerous emails. [sm=75_75.gif]

Yeah, that's totally cool to do to someone. [sm=thumbs_down.gif]

Seems as if you would have NEVER done anything if he didn't post here.

Can't take the heat? Stop ignoring your buyers and giving them no resort but to post on the forums looking for you.

I'm sorry, that's hysterical. He's logged on when you send it and he STILL doesn't respond. LOL

I'd never buy from someone that ignored me this many times.

I even tried asking him in an email through his site but with no avail.[] Has anyone ever bought through this site from the US? I notice they now sell the Firehammer alloy motor mounts.

You can find the Carson/Firehammer/Smartech Alu engine mounts here: http://www.rc-car-online.de/carson_aluboecke_eng.htm

I think Hobbythek is actually the one who gets someone to make these mounts, and I have a feeling that this is where FG Hopups gets them.

You should put that on your website telling customers you do not stock most parts but rather order on an as needed basis...

Amen !!!

I have never ripped anyone off.......mabey slow in the delivery ..........but never ripped off anyone..............been selling these parts for about 2 years..........never had any problems.

I let people know whats in stock and whats not, I also tell people that if its not in stock I can refund the money or its a 2-3 week wait.

But now my construction Co. has taken off...........made over $10 G last month and worked my ***** off

So your construction buisness is busy, so you realy if you can`t run your rc buisness at the same time you should realy close it. I know that might seem harsh, but most customers would not take that as a reason, 5 minutes sending an email i2`m sure you could of handled that, i mean you took the payment.

All good for you to say............Wow first sign of any problems and everyone has advise for me......I didnt even get on the computer for about 3 weeks...I didnt know there was money sitting there or orders until I checked.....payment is automatic.....I know a couple of other vendors that also take 3-4 weeks to get parts.....

I usually tell people right off the bat if a product is not in stock......I do have alot of items in stock

well some may be content with ONE line of income, but in todays world 3 lines of income still leave you on the short end. I can say with nearly 100% certainty, he s not making a living of the RC business. specialy if hes only dealing in 1/5 scale parts. yes he ll make money, but i doubt it would pay the mortage and living expenses every month. it may give him enough money to get more stock on hand for hte next year an maybe a new 1/5th. i know for a fact some LHSs can make a good living, but its 8 days a week and 30 hrs a day to do it.

But i will say, with an onine business, ONE Day not getting online can cuz issues. case in point, he had an order beg of month, didnt notice it till near end of month. things like that can kill a business. Hellya, you should Manditorily look at your site at the end of the day everyday. as you already know, your not driving a new lambo cuz of the HS, but you wont even be able to get a key made for the chevette if you dont know you have customers waiting cuz they ll go eslewhere.

and now in todays world with the internet, this next part is IMPERATIVE and even more true than it was 20 yrs ago. Great Customers will come back, but it only takes one bad experience to lose another group of great customers. ie, good news gets around, BAD NEW FLIES 3 times around the world before good new is out of bed. just ask Paris! lol

i have not delt with hellya for any business yet. only becuz im not int he market for his goods. but if i were, he like the others would get a shot at my money.
anyone that gets my money must have good ethics, and be ontop of the business. that dont mean replys wiht in seconds of my emails, but a day or 2 later should not be much to ask.

im about to pull the trigger on an F1. already found the seller im going to use, he has helped my in the past with a few things, never money related, and thats why he ll get my F1 money over the next guy. not that i wont look at the next guy, but it ll take that next guy a bit more to Smooze me out of my f1 money than the guy who is going to get it had to do.
jm2c.
im sure he ll get things right with the OP. but for crying out loud Mark, check the site atlease every other day.. i know how you feel about being busy, 16+ hr days are a bit ch to say the least, but anohter 30 minutes on the site will do wonders for issues like these.
