I have been buying from Hobbylinc, 1/72 scale Aircraft and Vehicle models (50 plus kits), plastic sheeting, tubing, rods, brass and aluminum tubing, glue and paints since 2015. With every hobby shop within a 40 mile distance from my home closed, they have become my primary source for most all of my modelling needs. Everything I have ordered always arrives in my mailbox or on my door step within the estimated week to 10 days. Always properly packaged so not a single item has ever arrived damaged.

Great Prices
July 25, 2022

Let me start by saying processing times are a little slow, but knowing it's a family run business makes the delay understandable. Also, shipping was really fast so that also makes up for processing.

Prices are unbeatable and packaged with care to ensure my paints/primers were not damaged during shipping.

I will definitely be ordering from Hobbylinc in the very near future, also don't forget to sign up for there rewards program, points accumulate really quick for credit towards purchases.

This business is reasonably priced with a wide variety of plastic models and accessories. There are categories for easy navigation of the website. The shipping cost is reasonable and fast.

So far I have had really great experiences with Hobbylinc, other one small issue, ( I had some Revell Glue that did not make it to my home in very good shape. But I don't know if that was a shipping issue or the USPS issue) in the long run, I ended up transferring the contents into a container designed for that purpose. Anyway other than that. No issues. I've received all of my items that I've purchased thru them in a timely manner and in perfect condition. I've ordered everything from supplies to models From them

Great service
July 27, 2022

Great service. I had a small order of HO building parts for a non-train project. Their inventory is diverse. Delivery was quick, in spite of current delivery delivery chain issues, world wide. I would definitely buy from them again

Much to slow
May 23, 2022

Very unhappy with HobbyLinc. I would do lots of business with them if we could pick up! I'm about 5 miles away. But I bought paint from them and a week later it gets packed and shipped. WAY TO SLOW. And still waiting! Will not order again from them. That point alone is only worth a one in ratings for Hobbylinc.

One of the few left standing
September 12, 2023

I have used Hobbylinc for most of my model car supplies for the last year. The have a comprehensive supply of the specialty items needed to properly build a model car at an affordable price. I just wish they were closer by where I live, but the shipments have always arrived in great shape.

I really enjoy sharing the finished products on their website and getting feedback from other enthusiasts. I have recently recommended the website to a coworker who's into model railroads. He really liked the selection and prices.

Keep up the good work and hopefully we can keep this business open.

Tiny order, GREAT service
May 25, 2022

I made probably the smallest order Hobbylinc has handled: under $5. Even so, they checked with me to be certain that I'd ordered just a single piece (yes) and it came within a few ddays. Couldn't be happier.

This site is really my only online choice! Read some other reviews and yes, shipping can be slow, that's your choice-you can pay for faster shipping! I try to plan ahead and the standard shipping is fine! Also have had good results with customer service inquiries. If a popular item is out of stock, just click the e-mail me when in stock feature it works! Great job Hobbylinc employees!

Long time customer
July 19, 2016

I've been buying from Hobbylinc for many years and have always found their prices hard to beat. My only negative comment is that from order to their shipping date can take days. Maybe they should hire more help in the shipping dept.

Very slow shipping!
September 2, 2021

I've used Hobbylinc for about a year now but not any more. The shipping has gotten so bad that I ordered supplies from another supplier the day after the order I'm still waiting to ship. When I can get supplies shipped and received before Hobbylinc even ships well they lost my business. You can't be competitive if you take 7+ days to ship a order and another week to receive it.

I have bought close to 75 model kits from this company over the last year and a half. So far their service has been five star. I wish they were a little faster with the processing of the payment but that is a minor thing. Only time I had a problem with them was one item did not show out of stock but when I ordered it that is what came up. They shipped the rest of my order and kept the other on back order. It came in stock about a week later and they shipped it out. No problem. Will continue to use them as they have a large selection of the type of kits I am interested in. Would tell anyone to give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Easy ordering
January 16, 2022

Very easy to find what your looking for & if it is in stock. Great prices & very fast shipping with tracking provided. I was looking for AK wax tube paint all over the web they were the only hobby store I could find that had all the colors in stock. Ordered on a Sunday & had them by the next Friday. Very impressive! Will be buying from them again!

Slow as h----
October 7, 2022

Prices are good, the selection is huge and impressive, shipping prices are in line with industry standards, but i have put off ordering because ive read reviews that say actually receiving your items takes forever, granted its only been a week but im told at least three more days to receive some 1/72 troops, Atlanta to Des Moines doesnt seem like that far, if you want your order QUICK try Mega Hobby in New Jersey, shipping is a little more but its worth a few bucks to get my package in at most 4-5 days, also Burbank House of Hobbys is not quite as fast but close, and better rates

I received my latest order on September 29th 2021. I have been shopping with them for 9 years now. As always everything was shipped as ordered. I feel that model hobby prices are born there and Raised down the street by the other guys! What I mean is that Hobbylinc's priices are the standard by which all the others are judged by. The selection of items is above what you may be used to. I have always been responded to when I have a question or concern. I like being able to post pictures of some of my built model cars after I finish with one. It gives me as sense of accomplishment and pride knowing that they care for the customer after the sale. They have a program where you can earn points toward discounts on your next order. No one else has your back like Hobbylinc.com. Thankyou Hobbylinc!

I've always been into scale models because of the history behind them. Growing up I served papers/cut lawns just to support this hobby. Now being a old man I still try to keep up with this hobby. Times have changed. I used to go to my local hobby shop, along with
Other local stores. They don't exist anymore. We now have the internet, which brings the far away shops right into our homes. I have found that all these shops aren't on the up an up. This shop has far exceeded in there services to me. Please support Hobbylinc.com
Thanks AL in Florida
