I ordered on the 14th order numberHHUSOR20183**** it wasn't till after I paid for it that it showed it was on backorder well I sent an email the next day and for a refund for the servos cuz I ain't got a month to wait. The response was that some are partial of my order is shipped which i already knew it was going to be the servo extensions cuz the servos you didn't have in stock I asked again to be refunded for the servos. Now im just ignored I haven't heard nothing from anybody no refund or nothing here it is the 19th

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Beware, the don't tell you a part is on back order till you pay for it first. Then when someone responds to your e-mail(phone number is useless)they will tell you some or all of your order has shipped. Ignore my request for a refund. And that's it no more help bc they Ignore you after that.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. The product was delivered

Original review Feb 28, 2024
I placed an order #06-11***-***** with you via eBay on 2/22 for one of the Losi Hammer Rey trucks at $299. You accepted my payment (total $321), and eBay acknowlledged the payment. However, it is now 2/28, and you still have not shipped. I have been a faithful customer of Horizon Hobby for many years, and this is my first disappointment. Please let me know what to expect! Best Regards, Jim Vaughn Katy, Texas jevmax@***.com

Bad Customer Service

Horizon Hobby - Bad Customer Service
Horizon Hobby - Bad Customer Service - Image 2

I purchased a $30 model from them and they shipped the wrong item.

Im guessing thats there way of pushing unsold items out of the warehouse.

I called them to process an exchange ( the phone line drops your call if youre not a vendor btw, no option to speak with an agent at all! ) and they said because I ordered it through them on Walmarts website they would not help. I have been trying to be patient and sent photos of the wrong item, the packing slip with someone elses order information, and the return label all with there information.

Still they refused to help.

Horrible experience, Horrible return process, so disappointed!

Horizon Hobby - Question about tires i bought for my rc car - Image 2
I purchased some rims and tires for my Traxas Rustler 2wd they are the Duratrax Sixpack ST DTX3558 and they don't fit, the hole is bigger then my originals and it doesn't have the 6 point hole option that fits on my Rustler it's just round on the back side. The other issue is I can't call and talk to anyone it just rings once and hangs up so I can't get any inform from anyone it's impossible to reach you guys through phone. When I ordered it said it fits the 2wd Rustler but it doesn't. I attached a picture with the new rim and tire and my old one so you can see why the new ones don't fit.

Pros:
  • Lots of rc options
Cons:
  • Sent wrong part

Preferred solution: To talk to someone and find out why it said it fits my Rustler and they don't fit.

I ordered, parts and a full rc. It was in stock, at the time of order nearing a month ago. They promised delivery 5-10 days. This was to be a birthday good. I still have not received delivery, and cannot cancel my order. I have tried through multiple attempts on their automated service and through email. I have screen shots to show what I've experienced. I have been an rc enthusiast for nearly 30 years and never encountered such service, not only trapped in a sale, they falsity advertise having products or they make up stories as to why have not received. Today's date 11/6/2
