Hobbylinc became my go-to hobby store when the local brick-and-mortar hobby shop closed. They almost always have what I'm looking for, at a decent price, with reliable delivery. The only problem I... See more

Slower than molasses

I placed an order with Hobbylinc on August 7, 2026. They said it would be delivered by the 19th. That's slow but ok I get it.
Six weeks later it finally arrived. It was the item I ordered but delivery is extremely slow. I'm not sure what goes on at Hobbylinc but this is not an acceptable way to conduct your business.

Three orders in a row were disastrous

Three orders in a row were disastrous. The first I had to refuse delivery because it was damaged in shipping. I can't blame the carrier, the package was very poorly protected. The second was a couple of bottles of adhesives that leaked. Another refused delivery. The third is the worst where the product was wrong, selected carrier was wrong, and customer service was exceedingly rude and showed their ignorance and incompetence in numerous emails. Worst customer service ever.

Incredibly slow order fulfillment/poor customer service

Incredibly slow order fulfillment. I purchase lots of hobby supplies from many different vendors and HobbyLinc is the worst of all. Their customer service is equally awful - there is no telephone number to talk to anyone and if you get an email reply, they respond with sarcasm. I won’t purchase from them again as there are simply too many good vendors out there that will ship fast and answer any problems you have.

Hobbylinc not a company i would trust

Hobbylinc not a company i would trust. i did a google search for alclad 2 mirror finish paint up pops a list of places that have it Hobbylinc as ad on google for 22.19 for 4 oz bottle i click on ad takes me to website but now the price is 27.49. the old bait a switch game. i have screenshot of the price at 22.19 so i contact them thru email. i include the screenshot but they wont honor the price in ad that they put on google to attract you to there website. it is pretty sad that a big company has to resort to such measures to get business. they claim to be a family run company if that was true they would honor the price they had on google ad. its not like i made up the price it was there ad they paid google to have there.

Hobbylinc: A Tale of 2 online Georgia Hobby shops

There are 2 online hobby shops in Georgia, one in Ringold and Hobbylinc in Braselton. Both of these shops are fairly close in prices, sometimes one is a little more or less. My experience with Hobbylinc has always been excellent. They can be a tad slow to process, pack and ship your order, but the don't try to retire off their shipping costs. The Ringold, GA shop charges $15 for an order that Hobbylinc only charges $5.25 for the exact same items. It is very annoying to see a shop pad their profits by overpriced shipping. Hobbylinc has my trust and is the hands down winner of these 2 shops.

Stopped online hobby shop ordering…

Stopped online hobby shop ordering after Squadron failed. Stumbled upon Hobbylinc in Ebay and took a chance. Glad I did. Each time I have ordered the prices have been good. Shipping cost are reasonable. Shipping has been quick and in stout packaging. Each item has been exactly as shown and what I wanted. Communication is excellent. Notified of packing list/cost, ship date, estimated arrival and then notified of arrival earlier then original estimate. I am impressed. Will be ordering again as there are no local full line hobby shops any more.

An old customer for almost 20 years

I have been customer for almost 20 years and have I never had any problem with Hobbylinc. They provide a very wide variety of plastic models. I have built about 50 tanks and estimate that I have built about 75+ airplanes in addition to many types of supplies/accessories. Sometimes shipping may be slow but they keep me posted about my orders (the great majority on time) but I am 82 years old and I am slow all the time. I will continue to use Hobbylinc as my only model supplier. Hobbylinc is not a "drive-thru fast-food" place just get used to their pace. Sometimes good things take a while.

Hobbylinc had all the Vallejo paint products that I was looking for and at the same or better prices than other sites I had visited. I ordered 17 paints and thinners on 5/28/25. Received shipping confirmation email 6/2/25 and received the shipment 6/6/25. Undamaged and all 17 items correctly invoiced and carefully packaged. 9 days total. Recommend and will use again.

"""" BUYER BEWARE

"""" BUYER BEWARE, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, BUY SOMEWHERE ELSE''"
They stock nothing, everything takes a week for them to get, repack and send to you
3rd party business, fake reviews,
Best to buy from small hobby businesses, with person to person customer support.

The whole website is a scam

The whole website is a scam! The reviews are fake… talking about how fast shipping was, completely false! Stay away from this site! Placed my order 01/19/25, sent an email, wondering what was so difficult about taking items off a shelf and into a box. Their response
“We will cancel that for you. All the processing and shipping info was provided to you at checkout as to how long it takes to get something from us. We wish you well.”
At no time in the checkout process did it say it would take a week or more just to ship!
I imagine their orders go like this: get the Oder wait two days, then another day strolling the warehouse (probably a tool shed) then another day pulling the order off a shelf, another day locating a box, another day putting it in a box, another day printing the label, another day affixing the label and finally a day to give it to the carrier, in which they take a week to deliver, all together two weeks for a domestic shipment- that’s pathetic! According to this platform, your shipping is horrific and you shouldn’t be doing online sales if you can’t provide timely shipping!

Unbelievably slow shipping!

Unbelievably slow shipping!
Although this company has great prices and selection, don't expect to receive your order in under 2 weeks!!!!
I placed my order 01/03/25 and my products still haven't left the company on 01/09/25 and don't pay for expedited shipping because you wont get your order any faster.

Terrible company for fulfillment

Several orders from early December are still showing pick in warehouse. This company has to be the worst company for fulfillment. It has been 3 weeks now and orders have not been packed or shipped. Stay away from Hobbylinc and customer service is none existent. You have been warned…..

Extremely slow in processing orders

This company is notoriously slow in processing your orders for shipping. I would not order from this place unless they are the only one to have the item you need. SBM, SQUADRON are much faster and have friendlier customer service. Hobbylinc is terrible

All the times that I have ordered from this fine company, my experience has been excellent. They have a wide selection and fast shipping. Any problem is worked out to the satisfaction of the customer. I highly recommend them.

Hobbylink.com is an excellent company

Hobbylink.com is an excellent company. I have purchased many items from them and all items were packaged with care and received in excellent condition. I highly recommend Hobbylink.com for all your hobby needs. Good prices, rewards program, timely deliveries, and very well stocked. Good people with good products.

FANTASTIC !!!!!

This is my 3rd order for rocket supplies and motors. They have the BEST prices, and the shipping is fast. The customer service is way above the normal you get anywhere else. I will be ordering engines and supplies on a monthly basis !!!!!!! It's great to have a company that cares !
