i ordered a 1/30 hl sherman from them and it took almost a month to get to me then when it did get here it was broken (gun was hanging off by its wires) through the whole issue i didnt get any responses to my emails and when i called the number they were less then helpful in finding out what happened to my order. so i just choose not to order from them again .
I'm very curiouse how long ago this was and what was the final outcome(was it replaced,ect-).I'm just like everyone else on the forum when buying tanks.I get no deals or disscounts from any dealer.I have bought tanks from Mato (2 tanks and a lot of parts)
RadintecHobbytronBanana HobbyEbayAnd another on line seller who started with good prices but has since raised his prices
way to high so I don't mention his store.My big complaint with Mato has always been shipping time and delays and shipping charges,and this has not changed so needs no further explaining.Radintec has allways proved to me to be overall in the past best prices,cheapest and fastest shipping.Banana Hobby has simular prices but tend to charge more for shipping.Hobbytron is overall a lot higher on prices,but close to the same shipping rate as Radintec.When you say it took a month to get your tank from radintec I must wonder what else took place to cause this.Since I have delt with them for over a year they allways ship UPS with a tracking number
and you can watch your package move through the shipping process.There is no way mato can be compaired to any of the three major sellers I just mentionedpriceshipping time in transitand for sure shipping costIf you live anywhere on the western side of the USA.Now for those on the eastern side I don't know.I have only seen two or three complaints about Radintec from guys here in the U.S.,but i have seen a heck of a lot about mato.I think most guys bought from them from guys telling them to go there to buy
because it was the best place to buy tanks.Well thats not a very true statement-Other guys went to them to get the metal gear boxes allready installed in their tank.And the final reason was to get parts for the HL tanks.Well now finnaly this stuff is avaible here in the U.S. and people will not have to deal with the high shipping cost and the big delays getting their orders.

P.S. I think this subject in the future will hardly be disscussed because the first question is going to be"why did you buy there in the first place" end of story.
