Easy ordering
January 16, 2022

Very easy to find what your looking for & if it is in stock. Great prices & very fast shipping with tracking provided. I was looking for AK wax tube paint all over the web they were the only hobby store I could find that had all the colors in stock. Ordered on a Sunday & had them by the next Friday. Very impressive! Will be buying from them again!

Absurdly Slow to Ship
December 14, 2021

Hobbylinc takes a ridiculously long time simply to place your order in the mail. If you order from them, be prepared for an unnecessarily long wait.

Its good to have a great hobby supplier
November 7, 2021

I am very happy that I found Hobbylinc on line they have had every item that I have looked for or needed for my hobby needs from paint, scenery, models/miniatures, and tools. If there are problems with an order such as damage that it may have gotten in the mail they have made things right for me. They have made it very easy to create outstanding sceneries and have them and my miniatures painted up in pro fashion. I would tell everyone to give them a try I dont think you will be sorry.

Another Great Order From Hobbylinc.com
September 30, 2021

I received my latest order on September 29th 2021. I have been shopping with them for 9 years now. As always everything was shipped as ordered. I feel that model hobby prices are born there and Raised down the street by the other guys! What I mean is that Hobbylinc's priices are the standard by which all the others are judged by. The selection of items is above what you may be used to. I have always been responded to when I have a question or concern. I like being able to post pictures of some of my built model cars after I finish with one. It gives me as sense of accomplishment and pride knowing that they care for the customer after the sale. They have a program where you can earn points toward discounts on your next order. No one else has your back like Hobbylinc.com. Thankyou Hobbylinc!

Very slow shipping!
September 2, 2021

I've used Hobbylinc for about a year now but not any more. The shipping has gotten so bad that I ordered supplies from another supplier the day after the order I'm still waiting to ship. When I can get supplies shipped and received before Hobbylinc even ships well they lost my business. You can't be competitive if you take 7+ days to ship a order and another week to receive it.

They have everything you'll ever need
August 2, 2021

This is a great family owned business. They carry everything a hobbyist would ever need. I don't look anywhere else, there's no need.

Great selection with great prices. The best part is they keep you updated on back orders constantly. You are not left wondering if you are still on their minds. Everything to you fast also!

Great prices, poor service
June 10, 2021

This site has probably the best prices around. 20-30% cheaper than Amazon across the board. The problem is the service. It's a family run business so don't expect your order any time soon. I ordered on 5/23. They anticipate the order will leave their promises on 5/28 which is 5 days (still long), but it actually didn't leave until June 1. I emailed them asking about my order through their website and got no response. Luckily my order didn't take long to arrive after it was shipped. Bottom line is if time is a factor don't order from here, if you don't care about when u get it then this is your best bag for your buck!

Got screwed
December 19, 2020

I ordered a model stagecoach for $180.53 which was paid by credit card. They delivered it to THEIR OWN address but said it was delivered to me. After several messages sent to them, they have refused to answer. I have read 2 other complaints stating the same thing. This is the worst ripoff company I have ever dealt with

Big little trailer for a fair price
September 17, 2020

I got the 3 Axle Lowboy Trailer (Herpa Models # HRP5489) for $11.09. The build quality is good, it is made out of plastic with a wood painted deck. The wheels are hard plastic but with detail and the trailer comes with a metal kingpin. It has the appropriate warning markers along the side and neck, the rear is very detailed with lights marker take and mudflaps (molded into the body but colored.) most 1/87 trailers lack these details it is nice to see someone giving the smaller scale the details they deserve. Shipping was prompt and reasonable.

Bugs and ants
June 23, 2020

I'm starting to order models from them, which upon opening a package, we had 10s of 10s of ants coming out of the box. My wife goes to break down the box and another bunch of ant came out. Now we might have to get someone in here to spray.
