"No reply, no goods"

Paid for order on 13 August. It is now over a week later. Nothing has been received and an email sent has been ignored.

"A safe pair of hands for the new commer and experienced RC hobbiest."

I have purchase 3 RC planes and transmitter etc. from Al's and they have been so helpful with advice on my purchases. With my first model they even set everything up as initially I had no real idea what to do.
When things have gone wrong, they are there to advise and check equipment.

"MONEY GRABBING COWBOYS!!!"

I ordered an item from these guys. As it was supposedly in stock. I heard nothing from them and called them. I was greeted by a very rude and unprofessional person that would not let me speak and told me I was being abusive when I asked to say my piece and put the phone down on me as soon as i said this. When he did eventually decide to speak with a little less attitude he told me that the item was out of stock and was due in a week later. I had no correspondence, and no tracking number.
I understand if a mistake was made updating the website but shouldn't have to be chasing my products. I should've been informed and given the option to cancel.
I really wish I'd read the reviews for this company before purchasing.
THIS IS A COWBOY OUTFIT AND YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY! DEFINITELY DON'T BUY ONLINE FROM THEM!

"Customer Service"

I sent an email pointing out a small error on their website and had a reply within 10 minutes thanking me and advising that the error had been corrected .
To me that is Customer Service as it should be and a lot of other companies would do well to take note on this.

"Excellent Service"

As always, excellent service from Al's Hobbies. I had a pre-purchase query and then a request, which Garry responded to straight away in each case. I ordered an RC model aircraft kit on Wednesday morning and it was delivered to my doorstep, Thursday morning. Very well packaged and carefully handled by their regular courier.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending Al's Hobbies. Great service all round.
