Wingman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Andy - protection for debit cards is obviously better now than it has been in the past (when you could be cleaned out and have no recourse to the bank) presumably due to the online purchasing phenomenon but you will still have to argue your case with your bank if there are unauthorised withdrawals and rely on their goodwill (!!) to get it sorted - I still would not think of putting my debit card details online I'm afraid.

John Cole Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Dylan: I've looked at the HK website. I think that when you buy from them, the transaction (money) goes through HobbyKing.com, regardless of which warehouse you take delivery from. So it's an overseas transaction. That's why I'm not surprised there's a percentage charge on your Debit card. I wonder if this also means that such purchases are outside the scope of the Sales of Goods Act / Supply of Goods and Services Act and the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations.

Cuban8 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Posted by Dylan Reynolds on 10/12/2012 21:36:36: Really? this doesn't bnother anyone? if you went into your local LMS and made a purchase and handed over your card, would you not be a bit miffed if he said "thats another £10 please" Compared to HK's prices, that's what they do anyway LOL.

Ian Jones Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Got an email from HobbyKing today - subject = "Last minute gifts from our UK warehouse" As usual Hobby King couldn't be bothered to localise when it comes to dealing with the UK, the opening sentence said, "Hi Ian, there is still time to do your Christmas shopping with HobbyKing if you order from our US warehouse!" Wrong, full stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daithi O Buitigh Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think that was just a typo (we all make those - personally I read and write fluent Typonese) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but car tax is an absolute bargain so we should pay more, or should this be the topic of another thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
