I ordered some items on Friday, Aug. 29.. I ordered two spare foam wing sets and a spare tail set for a Wind Dragon. I get an email order confirmation and on Tues (after holiday weekend) a shipping notice email. Package arrives UPS on Thurs. Very nice except the package looked like an elephant sat on it. I took pics before I opened the box. After opening I found both wing sets broken. Not HL's fault. The box was nicely packed.

So, I immediately call HL. The rep apoligizes and says new wing sets will go out either Thurs. or no later than Friday. I get an order confirmation email. So after not getting a shipping email I call on Sat and was told the items were in stock. For some reason they just didn't get shipped. After not getting a shipping email on Monday I call on Tues.. I am told the wings will not ship until next Mon.. ***? I am told "Parts" ordering go into a different system. I explain that these are not "parts" from an airplane kit. They were spare wing kits with their own item number. I get an "Oops, he put them in the wrong place" from the HL dude. So, he cancels that order and reorder the wing sets. I get another email order confirmation. Well, a few hours later I get an email saying the item(s) I ordered are backordered. :censored: I call and get the same dude. He checks and doesn't know why I got the email since both items are showing as being in stock. But, I get up this morning and check and still no shipping email.

I hope someone at HL is reading this. I understand that you are having teething pains with a new system but geez.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Jay is a man of his word. The replacement package went out that day and I received the replacement shipment today and everything was in great shape. They even "over packed" the box to make sure it got here in good shape in spite of UPS.

Before the package arrived I received a PM from Jay following up on the status of my order. It's not often you get an email from a company CEO checking on single order.

I really appreciate Jay jumping in and resolving this issue.

Thanks much,

Rick
