Excellent experience would buy from from them again

Though the site is a little difficult at times, the pricing is great and the speed of shipping matches this. It is a pleasure to do business with this company. Just a little FYI for people, have the part numbers ready and it makes finding your parts quick and easy. A++ company to deal with.

To preface this review - I always place my orders for RC car parts so that they qualify for the FREE shipping service. I place my orders on Saturday or Sunday. From previous experience, I the order ship on Monday and I receive the product on Thursday. This has been consistent up until this last order. Regarding this most recent order, the order didn't ship on Monday like it previously has - it shipped Wednesday - 3 days after I placed the order. Obviously this delay in shipment resulted in the receipt of my parts being delayed, which resulted in my not being prepared for this weekends race - which resulted in lost deposits for the races I signed up for. I just can't see a reason why it takes 3 days to handle an order. All the item I ordered showed up as being in stock at the time of order placement. Even if there was a shortage on parts, a discrepancy between the systems inventory and the shelf, or mistake on the order, the issue should be easily remedied in 1 day, not 3. In their defense, my previous orders have been great. It was only this most recent order that was a disappointing experience. The lesson learned is that I must order any race-critical items from a more trust-worthy and efficient source, and allow HRP to handle the items that are less-critical and time sensitive. HRP does great in getting the correct items to me at prices that are highly-competitive, but the area that could use some improvements is in the handling time of the order.

I have tried a lot of different paint manufactures for my fishing lure company. The Spax Stix works way better than all of the others I have tried. Lays on easier and covers better.

I like the ease of searching, but seems every time you click on something it opens another tab on the browser, then if you close one of the old ones everything gets lost. Quite frustrating and annoying. Other than that, great prices, great service and quick shipping.

Fast shipping, High Quality Items, Recommended Hobby Store...AAAAA+++++

HRP had the best price that I could find on the product I was interested in. Shipping was extremely fast. I will definitely order again in the future. Thanks!

This company charged me over $9.00 in shipping, for an item, that would cost less than a dollar, for USPS first class package. And, then sent it USPS parcel select. Now I have to wait 3- 4 weeks, and may never receive it! When a USPS small flat rate box would have gotten here in 3-4 days, and cost $5.30, still making them money, and I wouldn't have to file a claim, nor missed my fly in!
