They have some of the best customer service I've ever experienced and are always willing to help you figure out what will work best for your projects. On top of the student discount and already fair prices, they're always helping you get the best bang for your buck when they could very easily pray on the ignorance of undergraduates. Their selection is outstanding and I'm always able to find what I need. I can't give enough positive praise to this place, and it helps to know you're giving your money to such a well ran small business!

I live on Maui and cannot get supplies for models - particular landscaping material - so I have to…read moreorder online. I found Advantage Hobby via a web search and have placed two orders so far. I'm very, very happy with their service. The communication has been so good that I am actually on first name basis with the person in charge of shipping/billing (Hawaii is always different). My only concern (and why I didn't give the absolute highest rating) is that for some products, there are no photos or descriptions. I was surprised to see that another customer who had the exact opposite experience as I had, and I have no explanation for why this might be. Maybe they made a change in staffing? I don't know but I'm very happy. 12/27/12 update: Placed and received my 3rd order and it's still great.

With sales suffering across the board in our hobby, I thought I'd once again, place a large stock…read moreup order for some UltraCote......20 rolls in total for future build projects. Advantage Hobby advertises "Free Shipping on $59 order". With $349.86 in my cart, I check out, and the shipping charges were $9.99........(what happened to my free shipping?) I find an exclusion clause that says "Orders over 5 lbs subject to shipping charges".......so I delete items until the shipping charges go away, but still qualify for free shipping by exceeding the $59.00 minimum. I place (4) orders, each consisting of (5) rolls of Ultracote. (Total $349.86) This morning, I receive an email from Advantage Hobby: "We will notify you when your order is ready to ship. And at that time what the Shipping & Handling charges will be. Have a good day." My reply: "These orders qualify for free shipping......otherwise, please cancel all 4 orders. Thank you." From Advantage Hobby: "Your orders will be cancelled and your form of payment refunded as soon as possible. Have a great day! Sandy" My Reply: "Sandy, so, you would rather lose a $300+ sale, than honor your advertised service? Wow." Advantage Hobby: "You speak of honor, you know as well as I do that you placed 4 consecutive orders to avoid Shipping & Handling charges. Sandy" My Reply: "Yes, and there is NOTHING wrong with doing so. I will let the RC community know about this transaction. If you want to honor these orders, group them into one shipment so YOU save on shipping 4 separate orders, I am ok with that. Otherwise, this will not reflect well on your end." 11 minutes later, all (4) of my orders were canceled, payment refunded, and no further messages from Advantage Hobby. What a complete waste of my time. I will take my business elsewhere, where the advertised are honored.
