“Much to slow”

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.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Easy to use and their point system is pretty good!

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.

Tip for consumers:
If you see what you want on the site, buy it the first time you view it. Often kits are no longer available, so it may not be available the next time you look.

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. 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

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!

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!

I am very happy that I found Hobbylinc on line they have had every item that I have looked for or needed for my hobby needs from paint, scenery, models/miniatures, and tools. If there are problems with an order such as damage that it may have gotten in the mail they have made things right for me. They have made it very easy to create outstanding sceneries and have them and my miniatures painted up in pro fashion. I would tell everyone to give them a try I dont think you will be sorry.

Tip for consumers:
know that it can take up to 10 days to get items in the mail and they have a lot of things to choose from so know or have an idea of what you want because its like grocery shopping when you are hungry and you buy lots of things because they look good

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!
