| HobbyKing 1st Purchase Hello all, Just a quick mention about hobbyking - it was mentioned a while ago when asing about the lipo batteries they do. Well i decided to test them out with buying a Turnigy Typhoon 600 heli motor... Overall i'm pleased. In the UK, it would cost £40 + postage for the motor. It would take about 3 days to arrive in most cases...2 days if your lucky. I bought the motor for $42 micky mouse dollars including delivery - It arrived after 7 working days. $42 USD is £27 at todays rates. A nice saving that if you have the time is worth waiting for. Item arrived boxed & well packaged - and with a free set of decals. My only gripe is it came from China - Not the german warehouse which is where i thought i was buying. But other than that - pretty happy with it.... Until it goes wrong  Will put orders in for lipos once the money has been scrapped together!

| HobbyKing 1st Purchase I never had any probs with them, make sure when you order it had German Warehouse in red next to the item as I sure you did. With the tax going up next year I should think they will be even more popular! "Whilst entering a Loop way to fast I ran out of talent" | |||

| HobbyKing 1st Purchase I'm pretty certain it said German Warehouse but the item came from hong kong... Either way i'm not too bothered because I still got the motor - and a fair bit cheaper than buying it here. I placed an order with a UK shop (no names) on the 25th November (a monday) - and still have not recieved the item. The problem is a lot of these model shops are started by people who make models - not business minded people who know how important customer service is. Its coming to something when ordering from china is not only cheaper - but faster delivery too. Oh well, Matt To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains. | |||

| HobbyKing 1st Purchase Matt You must have picked the 1 company out of hundreds in the UK with a problem, I rekon you looked them up to see how bad their delivery was  Most will send by next woking day and overall there is no comparison at all not even close, and what are you doing waiting that long for a motor, why havent you given them a ear bashing or had an explanation yet? Huh  Planes are meant to crash, otherwise they'd have feathers | |||

HobbyKing 1st Purchase Quote:Originally posted by David Piper LOLYeah i know Dave, just a bit fustrated because its the 1 part thats holding everything up... I would say most (even this shop i'm having a problem with) 99% of the time get it right. 99% of the time, they're good on advice and speed of service. Just that occasional 1% which always seems to be me Ah well, I will be doing my fair share of tinkering and drinking over the festive period... can't wait ;P Matt To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains. | |||
