is Hobbyworld-USA still in business?

[ChuckT]

Hi everyone.

 

I placed an order for MRP paints with Hobby world USA back in early March. I received a confirmation email right away stating that some of the paints were on back order so it might take a while.  Since several months have gone by, I thought I should try and get an update from them.  I've tried different ways of getting a hold of anyone with hobby world all with no response. 

 

Should I be concerned, or is Hobby world USA legit?

 

Thanks.

Hobbyworld USA and its owner’s (Matt Bole)lack of response have been discussed at length on Hyperscale. In short, unless you can get a refund from your payment source, you’re probably Sierra Oscar Lima.

I guess a similar situation has been discussed on ARC as well recently ...

Oh! I guess I'll try and get a refund then.

Thanks guys for the info. If anything changes with hobby world I’ll be sure to share it here.

I just got a shipment of bits in from them on Friday. One thing was back-ordered, but it wasn't really a pressing concern.

Update on my order from March 10 with Hobbyworld USA.

 

I tried one last time to get a response from them and gave them a week to respond. After more silence from Hobbyworld, I decided to raise my concerns with Paypal. Paypal reviewed my case and has given me a full refund.

 

In hind site I should have checked into hobbyworld BEFORE placing my order, but will not be using them again.
