Bob Cotsford Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Extension leads were shown as in stock so I ordered them on the 12th paying the extra for 1st class delivery. Today, the 15th, I got an email to say they've been despatched. What on earth is the point of offering 1st class postage (ie next day) if they don't even think about posting the items for 3 days? I bet my HK Euro order made a day later gets here first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm woodcock 1 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Best of luck with the HK Euro order Bob, 14 days and counting for my order, contacted them and they said as I hadn't paid fro tracking it was my problem. I'll see what PayPal has to say about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 My parcel arrived today too. It contained this and seems excellent value at under £20. OK, it won't be the latest version - the QC certificate in the box is dated July 2012, but the canopy is GRP, not the flimsy plastic that I expected. Carbon frames, metal head, no instructions, but it shouldn't take too much working out. I had to go to HobbyKing to buy some servos and gyro for it as GS had none left when I ordered. Now, if they ever get some FrSky X series receivers back in stock at the prices they're showing there'll be another order going in...

Ian Jones Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hmm, wondering if one of the helis is worth a punt. I need a follow on from my mini pred before I go to a scale job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a follow on from my mini pred before I go to a scale job. It's well worth a punt, just checked mine and it has a shaft drive tail rotor rather than the more usual belt drive, it may well say that in the description but I did not read them all! Was going to use this for the spares but have changed my mind, OK the canopy is not finished as in the picture and is a little rough but if that is a problem you can always get an Align Trex one which is almost the price of the whole kit!

John Privett Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Mine's shaft drive to the tail too - I thought it would be belt as well, but I didn't read the description in that much detail either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Dell Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Glad I was not the only one John! I know the early clones the belt drive take off from the main gear was fairly awful I replaced these quickly for metal ones, will be interesting to see if the shaft drive makes any noticable difference, probably not but we will see.

Stephen Jones Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hi , I have received my 2nd order and again part of my order is missing, nylon bolts this time. Now it dawns on me why i stopped using GS as my orders would have items missing or the wrong part sent as a substitute . Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stringer Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 2 boxes have arrived ... will open them later so that i can check them off carefully and report back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I just ordered the Helicopter kit as well, I wrecked my expensive Align 450 pro last year and hope to use the kit as a basis of a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Just received my parcel. Unfortunately they sent out solid covering film rather than the transparent, which I ordered and which now appears to be out of stock.... I've emailed them to see what they propose to do, apart. that is, from perhaps seeking employment in something other than the retail business.....

Mark Stringer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I received 2 packages on Saturday .. the first was all there although a prop had been substituted .. which was fine The second just had a tube of UHU missing .. was shown as shipped but a note on the packing slip said "not in stock" .. so I have popped them an e-mail to ask about it. Everything else was there and perfect and a really quick delivery in the end .. so very, very pleased .. should keep me going for bits and bobs and motors for a good while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom39 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I got my last two orders on Saturday. Only to find that one of the items on the invoice had a cross next to it and no explanation. I had to ring in to find out that this item was not in stock (it was still showing as being in stock the following day after I put my order in!) The chap there could not offer me an explanation as I understand that the warehouse is in Peterborough and the order centre is in Kent. I had to ask for a refund for this as it had not been done! Pretty poor service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stringer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 My final order has arrived and all fine .. so they just owe me some glue .. but yes it is poor that it wasn't automatically dealt with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom39 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Another issue! Just checked second order . Pack of screws, item no as per website but has different contents (also only 10 and not 100 pcs!) Feeling cheesed off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom39 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Just found out from another club member that he has two motors missing from his order and again no explanation (feeling very guilty for suggesting he buy from GC!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 These problems are most depressing, if anything destroys a brands image, it is customers making their dissatisfaction public. Since changing from GC to GS the brand just seems to go down hill. It seems that some one with some power, influence and authority needs putting in GS by Myhobbystore, if there is going to be anything left. I just cannot adequately explain my sadness, in these events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtom39 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Such is life (sorry meant GS and not GC!) . I have calmed down !! Shame as I have used Giant Cod with no issues in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
