Hobbylinc
Reviews and Complaints

So, I recently started buying models from Hobbylinc and boy oh boy, did I get a surprise when I opened the package. I mean, we're talking about a frickin' ant parade here! There were ants crawling out of every nook and cranny of that box. And when my wife tried to dispose of the box, even more ants came out of hiding. We're now considering calling in the big guns - pest control - to take care of this ant problem.

Aside from the ant fiasco, I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with the models I've purchased from Hobbylinc. They've got a great selection and their prices are pretty reasonable. Plus, they usually have some kind of sale or discount going on, which is always a plus.

My only gripe is that their website could use a little work. It's not the most user-friendly and it can be a bit slow at times. But hey, they're probably more focused on getting those models out the door than updating their website, right?

Overall, I'd still recommend Hobbylinc for anyone looking to buy models. Just be prepared for a possible ant infestation. So be it, it's a part of the thrill of opening up a package from them.

about Hobbylinc.com because my experience with them was a total bunk. Like, come on, yo! I was looking for a USG Gypsum HO Jaeger and they had a pic of it on a HO car, so I figured that's what I was gonna get. But nope, what I got was some flimsy old piece of wood with some fancy wrapping paper on it, for over 20 bucks! I mean, c'mon, man! That's just not right!

So, I tried to get in touch with them to complain, but they were no help at all. It's like they just didn't care about me or my problem. So, now I'm left with this piece of junk and an even worse taste in my mouth.

Seriously, folks, I wouldn't recommend Hobbylinc.com to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere else. They're a major disappointment and a total ripoff!

Man, gotta say, not too pleased with HobbyLinc. I mean, seriously, I would be buying all kinds of stuff from them if only they let us do pick-ups! I'm super close, just 5 miles away, you know? But no, I had to order some paint from them and it took a whole dang week just to get it packed and sent out. What's up with that? And now I'm still waiting on it to arrive. Ugh. Not cool, HobbyLinc. Not cool at all. Honestly, I don't think I'll bother ordering from them again after this. I mean, that's enough to give 'em a measly one-star rating in my book. #disappointed

Hey guys,

So, I recently ordered a model stagecoach from Hobbylinc and it was really expensive, like $180.53. I paid for it with my trusty credit card and waited eagerly for it to arrive. But, when it finally did arrive, it wasn't at my house like it was supposed to be. Nope, it was delivered to their own address!

I tried hitting them up several times about the issue, but they straight up ignored me. It's really frustrating because I'm not the only one this has happened to - I read two other reviews where people complained about the same thing. It's like they don't care about their customers at all.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them based off of my experience. They're definitely the worst company I've ever dealt with.

So, I decided to make my hobby dreams come true and ordered a wooden ship model kit from Hobbylinc's website. I was really excited to get started and build my own ship, it was going to be a great bonding experience with my son. We both love ships and history, so we were eagerly waiting when the package arrives. Finally, the day came but when we opened the box, we were surprised to find out it was a different type of ship model, not the one we ordered! This was really disappointing and frustrating, especially since we were looking forward to building something that required a solid hull!

We contacted Hobbylinc, hoping they would fix the mistake and send us the correct kit, but we never received any replies. After waiting for a couple of days, I decided to give them a call.

The representative was courteous at first but when I explained my issue, they refused to accept our return. I was shocked! According to the policy on their website, I should be able to return an unopened kit. Unfortunately, they wouldn't budge!

Now, I'm stuck with an expensive kit that I cannot use. This was a complete waste of time and money, and has really put me off shopping from Hobbylinc again. I found that they have a lot of negative reviews from other customers who have had similar experiences.

My advice is to be cautious when ordering from Hobbylinc. Even though their website portrays a professional appearance, their customer service and fulfillment is quite disappointing. So before you hit that order button, do your research and make sure you don't end up like me.

Okay, so I've been kickin' it with Hobbylinc for like a hot minute now, but let me tell ya, I'm donezo. The shipping situation is the pits, man. I ordered some stuff a while back and STILL haven't gotten word that it's been sent out. Meanwhile, I put in an order with another supplier and they already got my ish on the way. Ain't nobody got time to wait around for your package to come chillin' at your doorstep a week later. You gotta hustle and keep up with the game, Hobbylinc! Gotta go where the service is fast and furious, ya know what I'm sayin'? They gotta step up their game if they wanna keep my business.

I have had problems with Hobbykings (800) and customer service is almost non-existent. I read were sitejabber has lots of customer reviews concerning hobbyking and I've tried in vain to contact Dan C of customer service to no end. I spoke to a customer 24 hour on line woman who promised me free shipping and she never allowed me to speak to a supervisor, I need to know what happened with Hobbyking NOT hobbylink,.?

So, I gotta tell you about my experience with Hobbylinc (hobbylinc.com). I figured I'd try something new, and order from them. Five days ago I put in my order, got a confirmation number, and thought everything was peachy keen. Then, when I tried to check on my order, the number didn't exist! I thought maybe I made a mistake, but then I couldn't access the website at all! Just kept getting an Internal Website Error message. Like, what the heck, man? I tried to do my research and everything seemed legit, but now I'm thinking maybe it's a scam. Don't make the same mistake as me, do your research first and go somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend risking it with Hobbylinc.

I've been shopping with Hobbylinc for quite some time now, but I have to say, their customer service, stock items, and variety have declined over the years. I recently placed an order for some kits, and I had to wait a whopping eight months for them to become available. And wouldn't you know it, the price went up in the meantime! To top it off, they wouldn't honor my original price and left out the last two items from my order. It really bummed me out because I thought I had found a go-to shop for all my hobby needs. But, alas, it's time for me to bid them farewell and take my business elsewhere.

If you're looking for some killer deals on hobby stuff, Hobbylinc is the way to go! Seriously, their prices are so good that they make Amazon look like a bunch of chumps. However, there is one downside to this amazing site - the service. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not terrible or anything - it's just that it's run by a family, so it might take a little longer to get your stuff than you're used to. For example, I placed an order on May 23rd, and the website said it would be shipped on May 28th. Which, let's be real, is still a pretty long time to wait. But, when June 1st rolled around and my stuff still hadn't been shipped, I started to worry. I tried emailing them through their website, but never heard back. Luckily, my order did eventually arrive and it didn't take too long to get to me.

So, if you need something ASAP, Hobbylinc might not be the best choice. But if you're willing to be patient, you'll definitely get the best bang for your buck. Just keep in mind that this is a family-run business, so they're doing their best to keep up with orders and respond to inquiries. Overall, I'd rate Hobbylinc pretty high on the scale of cool websites to buy hobby stuff from. Just don't expect lightning-fast service, or you might be disappointed.
