Hobbykings lowest price 'guarantee'

Dillzio · Mar 05, 2011, 11:59 PM

Hi all, just thought I'd share my experience with you of trying to get Hobbyking to come through with their lowest price 'guarantee'. In short, don't count on it. It's a marketing ploy, any they won't honor it.

Here's the full thread of my experience in case you're interested:

Yet the allure of cheap cr@p lures people into their web...
I see so many people gloating about the deals they get from HK and mocking legit brick and mortar hobby shops who are going out of business daily... To me, it's worth the extra to buy local.

Well, most of the deals are really the best price...
I know about a friend that got a refund from HK after he found the same product (1$ less...) somewhere else.

I will ask him and post.

Even if their prices are good with their crap support you end up losing money like happened to me. Got a camera broken and their support simply ignores my case. There's no way of working there, unprofessional approach..It's a chaotic. On top of this all products at least that I have purchased from HK is lacking proper documentation.
