discount hobby center Oh brother!

Point.

I've won a couple of auction from them & haven't had that much of a problem with their service. It may take a week or 2 to get your order, but it has always arrived. Some times things get delayed due to the supplier(s), not the retailer.

Yeah, but when you're selling things via auction you're supposed to have them on hand. I shouldn't have to wait for their supplier to supply them. I'm right at 2 weeks from the day they charged my CC for a 24mm casing. OTOH, I e-mailed last Friday and got a response on Saturday am. Still, I'm waiting to see what happens this week.

Yes but treating your customers like a disease is not acceptable... why did they not tell me the stuff would go backordered before they charged my card? Why did they not respond to my emails? Why a hundred things these folks are idiots! I read a lot about this after I placed my order unfortunately well no more in future lesson learned. I had 95 % motot order so I don't know how they stock other things.

Like I said the only thing good about them was their prices.. they beat this site allmost 2$ on d12-5's for example... but if you never receive the item what gfood is the price? :)

Are you sure this is not a HPR magazine thread again?

Maybe TRA should arrange for Discount Hobby Center to be the distrubutor for HPR Magazine... sounds like they're "made3 for each other"! :)

I guess I am just lucky. I won an auction last week from Discount Hobby, called it in the next day (last Thurs) and my box arrived today.

I would not wish them on each other for anything.

How about we target and reward success instead?

Point!

Try Magnum or Performance Hobbies.

I ordered from them on 27 Jan 04 for some D and E engines. I also ordered a

24 mm casing and have not gotten anything yet. They charged it to my Visa on 03 Feb 04. Calls to them, where I talked to Jim (customer Service) says they were out of stock on the casings. Emails to them were answered: "It's been shipped" Still no tracking numbers could be received and nothing arrived. etc. Then from March thru April, their phone lines were always "busy" and emails were not answered. I had Visa refund 128 bucks back to my account.

Never aga>

From what I gather, Mike and Jim run the operations there.

Previous Newsgroup post's replies have complained about their slow service; often getting the money so they can buy the merchandise and thereby forward it to their customers for a profit. For 2 months I was wondering if they were still in business or not.

I just got tired of waiting. From 27 Jan until now? Visa just confirmed they credited my account for the 128 bucks Discount Hobby Center charged me for "no merchandise".

You distribute explosive storage boxes?

I wonder if I should stop commenting on this, since I'm now in the magazine distribution business...

You distribute "model airplane parts"?

FWIW, I got my casing today. Two weeks, two days. Not great, but not months, either.
