Parts warranty and good service!

First of all, just to get to a person starts the review off with. 6! My situation of finding the right retracts for this project will be completed because Motion has quite a wide range of parts! The simple fact there was an issue with the retract discovered out of the package . I contacted Motion and after sending pictures they are sending a new unit! No hassle just good service. Which make the review a 10 in my book!

Venom Helicopter

Great detailed helicopter. Had trouble at first with not removing shrink wrap from transmitter battery. Contacted support. After a few emails I got everything corrected. Powered up helicopter in garage but have not actually flown it yet. A little bit too cold outside. Also charger was defectiveI but I got a store credit for it. Already have several 3S chargers. Kind of pricey but I believe it was worth it. I have about 30 RC tanks, planes, helicopters total. Have bought all but 2 or so from MotionRC. Would recommend this to all.

Missing part issue. 4 hours to remedy, total.

I took my new F8 Crusader out for the first time on the first nice day in Jan. I set it up indoors, just hitting the throttle cut to make sure it worked. Got to the field and there was a motor, but no fan attached to the motor. The jet only made noise. I sent MRC service an email asking what fan I should order, 2 were available. The service rep. responded 2 hours later asking for a photo. I sent photo, he sent me whole new motor and fan. This whole adventure took 4 hours. Package is expected this Monday. I asked which fan to order, they sent me everything I need. Outstanding customer service. They have my business.

I am in the UK and ordered parts from…

Update: I went back and checked. MotionRC is right, it was clear and I just didn't see it. Importantly, they remove the VAT on their side and so the amount on the Fedex invoice I had was not a double charge. Beauracracy got the better of me and I jumped the gun here. Thanks for responding to this review and making things clear to me. I've just placed another order with you now that I understand the situation. Richard

I am in the UK and ordered parts from this shop. It's based in the EU. About two weeks after the part arrived, I got a Fedex invoice for duty and VAT for around 30% of the price of the parts! I sent a note to them offering to pay 50% because I would never have ordered the part if I had know this much duty/VAT was payable. No response. I would not order from these guys again.

Reply from Motion RC

Hi Richard. When anyone from the UK tries to buy something from Motion RC, we show a big bright red message which says "Attention UK Customers - Please click here for important VAT and Import Duty Information." When you click this link, it says "Effective 1 January, 2021, the British Government will collect VAT and Import Duties on shipments originating from the European Union. The collection of both VAT and Import Duties will be handled by FedEx on behalf of the British Government. In some cases FedEx will require payment of VAT and Duty at the time of delivery, and in other cases they will send an invoice for future payment."

You can find this here: https://www.motionrc.com/eu/pages/uk-vat-and-import-duty

This is not charged by Motion RC. This tax is charged by the UK. We humbly ask that you do not give Motion RC a 1 star review because of a VAT tax charged by your country.

Excellent customer service.

Motion RC customer service/Support was invaluable and prompt. I did not receive a few screws with my order, and I reached out to Support about my situation.

They ordered a replacement set within a couple of days. Great service!

This was my first time ordering from…

This was my first time ordering from motion r.c. I got a couple tanks a helicopter and a r.c. car. They were delivered fast. The products are great! I did have one battery that came with one of the tanks that didn't work. Motion r.c. replaced it with no problems. Definitely recommend. Everything from ordering to customer service is a breeze! Thank you motion r.c.
