If you're thinking of buying from them you may wish to bear the above in
mind.


Just to stick up for them a bit, over the last year or so I (and several
friends) have ordered quite a few bits and pieces from them - and the only
problem was a radio controlled helicopter that wasn't the advertised spec.

This was apparantly a mistake that their suppliers had made and even before
it had arrived they had emailed with an offer of either a refund if it was
returned or a hefty credit to the account to compensate. Seemed very fair.

I've personally contacted them a couple of times and aways had a good response.
Granted, they aren't the fastest but given the price, I really can't complain.

As someone mentioned, it has been their new year and they did shut down
for that (having said that, a cable I ordered turned up last week after 9
days so there isn't that much of a delay).

Cheers,

Darren
