I recently purchased 20 rolls of Ultracote only to receive 10 rolls which were intended for someone else. Understandable that the seller made a mistake but the grind comes when the other guy, "John" who ends up with my Ultracote isn't going to return it. Mind you he received 20 rolls instead of 10, (clue #1 that he has the wrong order) but they are tagged with numbers indicating what he should have received groups 7 and 8 not 1,2,3 and 4. Also, they aren't the correct colors. What does this fine upstanding modeler do, he responds that he has already started using the ultracote and thus can't return it.

The seller offers to refund the difference and have me keep the Ultracote which I've already told him I don't want. Or return it to him with him refunding my money and the shipping costs once he has the product back in his hands. Seems to me that I paid him immediately and waited for my product but I now have to wait for my money.

I also recently purchased a motor which was advertised as a 46Fx only to prove to be a 46LA. I was chastised by the seller for not looking at the picture, which showed only one side and it wasn't the numbered side. I was thinking maybe a 46FXI but shouldn't have been surprised to have received the 46LA. After requesting my money back four times I then filed a complaint. Seller responded with "You're the reason people don't like to sell on RCU". I fail to see where his inability to read is my fault. I gave up on trying to get my $40 back and chalked it up to experience.

I've made two offers on motors and receivers only to have the sellers never send invoices.


Other than these few incidents everything has gone pretty smooth.
