Worst Company of All Time
December 14, 2018

Customer service is a joke. I waited a week before calling when no tracking was uploaded to my order. Call 3 consecutive days with each call being over 1 hour each time. I was told to wait till Friday and tracking would be submitted which is a tactic just to get you off the phone. Friday came and after another 70 minute phone call I was told they could not complete the order. This was after three people telling me the order was filled with no problems in consecutive days. This company will just waste your time! Use them at your own risk.

Big hit at the festival
December 4, 2018

I have to say that having an interactive activity for the kids was the hit of the festival! We had many, many positive comments and several parents asked where we got such fun trucks. When we referred them to your website they immediately looked it up on their smart phones. Kids were standing in line to try the trucks. Even the youngest kids, may 3 or 4 year olds were able to use the trucks with assistance from us or their parents. In those cases we had the kids just move the control forward or back and we or the parent steered. Then the kid could push the button to dump out the compost packet. That seemed to be the most exciting part! Then they could keep the packet as a souvenir. Who knew that packets of dirt would be so popular?

We set up the course using traffic tape, traffic cones and sticks with caution tape. We had enough room to use two trucks and loaders at the same time. The controls were easy enough for all but the youngest children to get the hang of. Most kids are used to using joysticks but these are different in the sense that one joystick doesn't move the truck in all directions. One is forward and back, the other steers left and right. Once they got used to that they could drive them easily.

All four of the RC vehicles got some abuse. They were all picked up several times by kids of all ages by all parts of the vehicles. They were very sturdy and nothing broke off, to our surprise!

Even when several older kids decided to play demolition derby and repeatedly ram each other's trucks, no damage was done.

As far as battery life, we had the trucks in use from 10 am to 4 pm, with more or less constant use. We did not change batteries in the controllers, even though they were the original batteries we put in when we got the vehicles several weeks ago. The controllers lasted all day! We only changed the batteries in the trucks once early in the day, then they lasted till we closed. We did make sure to turn off the trucks and controllers during slack times.

Thieves and abusers
November 29, 2018

We ordered a Mercedes Jeep described on the Trend Times website for 9 years of age. It was for 3-6 on the box. I attempted to return. However, the company refused. Trend times will not take calls, and verbally harassed me encouraging a lawsuit. They stole $600 from my family and threatened my job personally. I had to report this company to the local BBB and authorities. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

If do not buy from this company now...
November 2, 2018

I have purchased two cars this year from this company. The sales people are rude, protect and condone each other's behavior and actually respond (as someone else) when you complain The two cars Lamborghini and Porsche we crap. Compared to the fabulous Porsche I ordered from the, two years ago. I loved the old product which was $150 cheaper. I Never look at price when I want something... I'm willing o pay more for quality. However when a company blatantly * the verbally assaults you I'll draw the line The incredibly horrid, rude, obnoxious, and condescending sales person named * is destroying trend Times... i will never purchase anything from this company again... ever. You can buy the exact identical cars from Walmart.com and amazon for much less and get better service.

I waited weeks for the cars, with no updates, I called each time and emailed. I was told by * I was being a pest. Who says that I have bought three cars totaling over $1000 I am a serious buyer without time to shop around. I thought I found a great source two yeas aGo. Heed my warning... you will be sorry if you buy from them.

Great Experience
October 16, 2018

This is the best customer service I have experienced in a long, long time. They are very personable and understanding. My grandson loves his new car! We go it so his parents could have him be the ring bearer at their wedding as is too young to walk. We are going to drive him down the aisle in the car we bought him! Thank you very much as you will never know how much your toys brought true fun to our family. It was a great experience and I recommend you to all my family and friends.

Thank you again for the replacement landing gear you sent me. I was worried that I would not be able to fly and land again. I am really happy now and I have a lot of people asking where I got my plane from. I always recommend you and thank you again for the great service. I will be back for more soon. Attached is a picture of my plane that I am very proud of.

I want to begin with a very sincere apology to you for the confusion about this shipment. Today, I discovered an unopened box in the house and in fact it is the toy submarine ordered! Thank you for getting our item to us and sorry for the doubt as we did receive the box! Thank you very much and we are very grateful! My son is extremely happy and so am I.

CROOKS
December 22, 2017

Ditto on all of the horrible reviews. BUYER BEWARE. We bought a fire engine on their site. Next day, found it on Amazon for $80 cheaper and $40 cheaper on shipping (it only costs $200 to begin with). I tried to work with them but their customer service is awful and rude. This is a horrible company.

Christmas Order!
December 19, 2017

After reading all the negative reviews about this company I became very worried about the delivery of my expensive order of the tug boat & a speed boat for my grandsons for Christmas. I emailed on different occasions & had an immediate response each time with the info I needed. I had no problem reaching customer service. I have received the boats & the boys love them!

Love My Car
October 6, 2017

I just wanted to say that I received my helicopter and I forgot the phone number to call so I looked it up as I want to get an extra battery pack. Just called them now and had no issues. Helicopter flies great! I crashed a few times, but there were spare parts in the box.

TrendTimes is a Nightmare
June 27, 2017

My story is the same. I paid a pretty large shipping fee for an item that would be here 5-10 days. It has now been 2 weeks. Thinking it was FedEx that was slow I called and they had a label ready but Trendtimes had not started the shipping process. Called the CS number... recording to leave email... I leave email and the ugliness began. Because of all the unprofessionalism and lack of trust, I have disputed the charges with my credit card company. I now have them leaving messages on my cell phone telling me how mean I am and how they have never experienced anything like this before. "John" also said he would put this is private collections and notify Experian. This is beyond crazy! This basement outfit needs to be shutdown. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS WEBSITE. IF I CAN'T FIND IT ON AMAZON... I DON'T NEED IT.

Worst company ever
February 23, 2017

DO NOT order from this website. The customer service is the worst (incompetent and rude) that I have ever dealt with. I normally do not write reviews, even if I am dissatisfied, but there was no way I could not write about how awful this company is. The car was delivered well past the date it was promised and even when told that I would no longer need the car if not delivered by the expected date, it was delivered (weeks later). I have been trying to return it ever since and cannot get a response via email or phone. I had my credit card company dispute the charge and they just keep billing me every cycle. THE WORST.
