Default RE: HOBBYKING - NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!


ORIGINAL: Gra55h0pper

Im afraid this is another example where vendors use RCU for downplaying their competition. Though i don't really like HobbyKing's products I have to applaud them for not lowering themselves to using forums to take on the competition (hope nobody proves me wrong here...). Now I'm not sure I should still buy from GBRJet (have their CAT). []
Like I said a couple of pages ago: The HK apologists will circle like vultures over anyone that tells the truth and warns his hobby mates about HK. It's like some weird cult thing.

I don't own a hobby shop or any hobby related business. None the less, I have also been vilified and called an out-right liar for posting about my negative HK experiences.

This is known as "Shooting the messenger" because you don't like the message.

Well, I say THANK YOU to MARC, a man I have never met (and who I will unfortunately not be doing business with simply because he lives on the wrong side of the pond) but who cares enough about his fellow hobbyists to share his experiences. Those of you who wish to attack the poor guy and question his integrity based upon unsupported conspiracy theories should chill. No one is getting rich in this hobby, the guy has been a real asset to it, and there's no reasonable basis for believing he's going to gain financially from this thread If those attacking him each contributed 5% as much as he has to our hobby, then we would all be much better off.

I have had hundreds of $$ of batteries and orange receivers show up at my doorstep bad, right our of the box. The hassle and expense of returning the items to China made an effort to do so pointless. When They opened up a US warehouse and a US "customer service" line I thought id try again and was burned. Again. No one answered the phone at any time of day or night for a week, so I gave up.

Flame ME now for sharing my experiences again, if you must.

I support my LHS because they support me. I also support Todd at Dreamworks because he stands behind everything he sells. When he makes a mistake he fixes it, period.

So come on, let me have it!

Don.
