Super kind service at first…read more Being an inexperienced 14yr old I brought an item in to get a wire soldered. They said they could do it and when I got it, it was messy and weak. I took it home and when I assembled my model , it turned out one of the components was damaged (near the wires that were soldered) It cost $50 for a new one and they said that they weren't at fault and turned me down. No compensation... Pretty disappointed, as I don't really have a stable way to make money at 14...

Hey bud, if you don't like your job THEN LEAVE. Everytime i have gone in there even with my pregnant wife I feel uncomfortable. And i see the way other customers are treated. Customer service is garbage but for 1 guy making it worth the trip. The value and pricing of parts should be lower due to the weak a** customer service. I am not the first nor the last to have this issue. Let's keep the hobby alive! No reason to kill it with salty a** people. This is as far as I go out of respect to the owner. But do not expect a friendly experience with RC's here.

I also always enjoy meeting folks who have knowledge, expertise and good salesmanship. Looking forward to returning for my next project's needs!

As a first time shopper for my aunt who enjoys this type of hobby, they had a variety of items such as military planes, tanks, battle ships, and subs too.

It felt personal as this is a privately own established business that I enjoy supporting and contributing too.

Service/Selection 5/5 To be frank, this is my wife's store that I've come to appreciate. While she's of getting picture frames, artwork of other interior design pieces I love to pour over the books and affirmation items. I always find something to grab and save for that time when someone needs their spirits lifted. They have them and I scooped up five! Books, I typically find 2-3 as title change quickly. Scored a big one today. Value 5/5 This is truly a value store, fun inventory at reasonable prices. Marking today's visit harlarious was my dilation. Holy Cow Becky everything was so bright I had a difficult time reading, seeing and at time holding my eyes open must have been a spectacle to see, pun intended!

The employee near me was coughing and blowing her nose and placed the tissue in her pocket. I felt this was very unsanitary, especially since she was stocking items and touching them with unclean hands. I was immediately frustrated and uncomfortable and left within two minutes of arriving. I visited a different location.

Used the last bit of my available funds to try and get myself a model from a place called Andy's…read moreHobby Headquarters in Glendale, AZ, from their online store. I was excited, it was a kit I had been hunting for quite some time, and I thought I would finally have one in my collection. I paid for shipping, and it was sent USPS Ground Advantage, with insurance. USPS decided to deliver it to the wrong address, and to absolutely no one's surprise, it vanished. USPS informed me that the shipper has to initiate a claim, it is not something I can do, and they gave me a letter admitting the mistake and that the package is now lost. I relayed this to Andy'sHHQ, and they didn't respond. In fact, due to their sluggish response to the situation, they are now sold out of that model, so even if refunded, I can't get it any more. I reached out to Andy'sHHQ again today, only to be met with an excuse about how they aren't responsible, they shipped it, so if it is lost I have to deal with the USPS. But the USPS already told me I had to deal with the shipper. This "hobby shop" clearly isn't trustworthy in any way, and that angers me because I have sent a few people their way after I had ordered a couple of times and had no issue, so I thought they could be trusted. Now I look bad if any of those people don't get what they ordered and paid for. It is truly a sad world we live in where any retail company feels like it is perfectly acceptable to ignore the actual customer just as long as they say they have no responsibility once anything ordered online leaves their store.

When this store first opened, and for a couple years after, it had a great selection of board games. Almost two short aisles worth. There used to be a lot of titles to look at. They even had Kickstarters if I remember correctly, Just went in there the other day looking to buy, and walked out in less than three minutes. They have practically NO BOARD GAMES ANY MORE. They had a skinny, double-sided book case display with games, probably about 15 titles (and all small games at that) . Yep, that's it! The place has miniatures for skirmish like games coming out their ears if you're into that. I don't know what happened. Clearly their customers are not board gamers. If you're looking for board games then try the Walmart across the street. I guarantee they will have a superior selection. Better yet go to the Gaming Goat up in north Mesa or Athoria Games in Tempe.
