I had a charge to show up and contacted this bunch. I got to chat with Michael D, who had to be the rudest person I have ever dealt with in any customer service. I am sure I wasn't the friendliest either, especially when he kept saying, as stated above in my chat. Horizon Hobby, if you want to keep business, I hope you will look at the chat or contact me and let me send you a copy. As far as I am concerned, he cost you a customer due to his smart mouth.

Hi Johnny, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We understand how receiving an unexpected order—especially one from a few months back—can be confusing and even concerning. The item you ordered was on backorder, and once it arrived in stock, it was automatically processed and shipped out as expected. Unfortunately, by the time we received your request to cancel, the order had already been picked up for shipping and could no longer be stopped. We also want to acknowledge your interaction with our support team. While the representative did explain the situation, we’re sorry if the tone during the chat came across as less than helpful. Live chat can sometimes make it difficult to convey tone and empathy, but we’ll use this as an opportunity to improve how we communicate moving forward. If you would still prefer not to keep the item, our support team will be happy to assist you with a return once it arrives. Please let us know how you’d like to proceed (we're sending you a separate email directly you can reply to). Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Sincerely,
Scott D.

Hi Scott, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the order cancelation process. We understand that you reached out in a timely manner, and it’s frustrating that the order had already been processed for shipping before changes could be made. We’re always looking for ways to improve and make things easier for our customers moving forward. Our support team will be reaching out shortly to assist with a return and refund for the extra aircraft — completely hassle-free. If there’s anything else we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Regards,

Eine Turbotimber Evolution 1.5 PNP und 2 Spektrum 4S Akkus bestellt. Das erste Paket mit der Turbo Timber konnte aufgrund falsch übermittelter Adresse nicht zugestellt werden (obwohl in meiner PAYPAL Zahlungsbestätigung die richtige Adresse angezeigt wird) und es wurde direkt zum Absender (Horizon Hobby) zurückgeschickt. Das 2. Paket (die Akkus) hatte auch eine falsche Adresse hinterlegt, konnte ich aber dank der DHL app in eine Packstation umleiten, da ich dann schon wusste, was sonst passieren wird. Mir wurde von Horizon Hobby bestätigt, dass ich mein Geld für die Turbo Timber zurück bekomme. Das ist aber bis jetzt, 2 Wochen später, immer noch nicht passiert, obwohl ich bereits 3 Mal per Mail darum gebeten habe. Auf meine letzte Mail mit Fristsetzung auf Zurückzahlung habe ich nach 24h keine Antwort erhalten. Ich gehe momentan davon aus, dass ich mein Geld nur über meinen Anwalt wieder bekomme. Das war mein erster und letzter Kauf bei Horizon Hobby.

Hello PF. We were able to find your account through the items ordered, and your refund has been in processing. This was completed today and you should see the credit action on your Paypal account within a day. It may take additional time for your bank to make the funds available to you. We hope this resolves the issue for you and thank you for your patience in the matter. Sincerely,

I ordered an item that said in stock and then all of a sudden it's on back order because someone was as the customer service guy said quicker on the mouse it ruined a birthday it ruined my day then he had the balls to tell me that it's a super expensive to have software that live updates the inventory bullshit it is. I will never shop there again they don't care about anything but money No one even sent me an email to say it was on back order they just left me in the lurch

Hi Raffael, Sorry to hear you were unable to get the car you wanted. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially when the item appeared to be in stock at the time of your order. Due to high demand around the release, inventory can sometimes update rapidly and cause confusion during the checkout process. Please note that we don’t charge for an item until it has shipped. Since the vehicle sold out quickly and is now on back order, your order would not have been charged. We truly apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. Sincerely,
DS
Absolutely insulting and ridiculous shipping. On the website and at checkout Horizon Hobby outlines 3 to 5 days for their shipping service include in the purchase. No where do they clearly disclose that it can be up to 20 days for an order to arrive after they shipped it because of their cheap service contract with FedEx. Beware.

Hi DS Thank you for your feedback — we completely understand how frustrating it is to expect a package within a certain timeframe and experience a delay. To clarify, the 4–6 day estimate reflects the typical delivery window for our free Economy/SmartPost shipping. Occasionally, carrier delays can push a delivery just outside that window, as with your second package, which appears to be on track for delivery on day 7, with the first having arrived within 4-5 days. The 20-day timeframe you mentioned likely refers to the 21-day period most carriers require before a package can be considered lost. This is a standard policy across the industry to allow for unexpected delays. We truly appreciate your patience, and we’re here to help if your order doesn’t arrive soon.

Ive been a dedicated Horizon Hobby and spektrum user, have spent thousands of dollars to support my hobby Thru these two companies. I have a NX10 that I screwed up in updating and file transfer. I sent it in and they fixed it and turned it around in 5 business days. I received good communication and dealt with a man named Craig. Really happy with this guys

Køber en spektrum oplader, oplader en gang og da jeg skal oplade igen virker den ikke Den bliver sendt tilbage, de erkender den er defekt og jeg skal have en ny, derefter går der næsten 5 måneder før jeg får en ny lader uden adapter eller noget andet, så må vi ses om der går 5 måneder igen, det er sidste gang jeg køber noget af dem
