willhappy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi all Just been looking at a t-28 trojan on banggood. Has anyone had any experience of this company. Do you have to watch out from which warehouse to get the plane from. If anyone can help then that would be great. will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iqon Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 the ones they have will come from china - you will have to pay 20% vat plus po costs and will come on a slow boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Good luck with any issues you face with an order from Bangood. They are less than helpful in resolving quality problems. Hobbyking are painful at times but will refund / replace if you go via the correct channels , Bangood are woefully lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Bernard Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Have used Banggood a few times with no problem. Reasonably quick on delivery. Have used Chinese and EU warehouse - simply based on what was available at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael cawood Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 i've bought quite a bit from them over the last year, mainly small parts i.e.. magnets, servos, gyros, receivers , linkages, and a battery charger etc. always order below £20. orders have always arrived between 2 to 5 weeks, I have never ordered anything large such as an aircraft. never had to pay import tax, vat or postage. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trebor Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've had no problems. Only get small things with free postage, takes about 7 to 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven S Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've had no problems with them either. I've only bought small items also, upto $150 with no tax or postage and about 5 weeks delivery to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim C Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Used them regularly for a while, no problems with delivery or service. One motor missing a lead, no quibble replacement sent. Largest it's being a heli. Customsdeclarations seem to bear no relation to value of contents! No issue with duty et so far!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bran Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I had a non-delivery in their time span. It was dealt with in a courteous manner (and good command of english) and was settled to my satisfaction. I have been notified of delays in supply (on pre-order new items) and given decent options inc refund. I once went for refund and they did so quickly. They have met their delivery targets every time, and generally you can pay very little to gain 7-20 days. Received two items in last two days, well pleased with them I have had NOTHING to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Colman Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've placed orders with them over the past few months, from both the European and China warehouses. The most expensive order was around the 100 euros mark for a RTF multicopter. All arrived safely with no missing or damaged items although one does have to be patient re delivery times. I will be making further orders in the future. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've bought from them quite a lot. Small helicopters and an an índoor quad. I ordered some helicopter spares from them and padded the order with some 'might need in the future items' to make it more worthwhile. It turned out that some of the latter were on backorder so I contacted them and they sent the parts I really needed without any problems at all. The communication was really good. I'd certainly order from them again. The only problem there might be with a big item like an artf foamie would customs and excise in the UK and that would apply wherever you bought it outside the EU ... and inside the EU in a couple of years.

willhappy Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 hi all thanks for all this. Its just money is tight(well i am from yorkshire) and i don't want to spend it then get nothing for it. As regard to tax is this a bit hit and miss ? will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I can say that I bought one small item, some small plastic pbottles for glue.No problem with the item or delivery but my Chromebook is filled with Bangood adverts on every pssible website ever since then.

Keith Berriman Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have used Bangood with no problem on RC parts. Just check the stock level by this I mean the despatch date at the side of the item. Once went for a digital watch but found out the analogue hands did not move good job it was a cheepo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Have had some electronics from them,RX's/ gyros. When a 6 ch Corona rx was unavailable an 8 ch unit was sent at no extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ordered 6 motors, ESCs, and props. All took about three weeks and were what I ordered - very cheap too. I wasn't hit for duty but maybe I was lucky. Bought some other small electronic items too with no problems. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
