Generally good but slow responses.
February 27, 2018

Overall happy, but I only buy when there is a 20% off ebay coupon, and when I write to ask a question the replies are slow. I also called during business hours and nobody answered.

Hi Jackie! Packing was a big focus for us near the middle of last year where we changed our void fill and moved to a more flexible packaging system - great to hear that it was packaged nicely in your instance, thank you very much for your feedback and review!

As fast as a 1:12 car with Nitro
February 27, 2018

This was my first time ordering from Hobby Warehouse and this will not be the last. From my experience, their service was amazing. Super fast dispatch and came in the mail in a few days. They know how to package their goods. My item arrived very safe. The store is full of amazing items, for the daily hobbiest and the prices can't be beat. The price is what originally brought me to the store but the service is what will make me return.

1/10th rc brushless fury buggy
February 25, 2018

Was looking for a buggy for my son when I saw this one come up I liked the look it had all I wanted in a rc buggy and what sealed the deal was the advertise 20% off when the redeem code was entered so I clicked the buy button paid the invoice and the goods were delivered in the time frame stated. I am very happy that I picked Hobby Warehouse to buy from.

Hi Ricky! These are our most popular rc cars, the buggies are such a lot of fun and are great for learning about mechanics / engineering etc when they are crashed and need to be fixed (the other great thing about these models, they can be fixed). Hopefully he doesn't crash it too often but it's an excellent learning exercise when they do! Please let me know if we can assist you further in the future!
