I live in an isolated road in eastern ky, a "holler" if you will where no delivery services will travel, not even the USPS. My brother on the other hand lives about 5 miles away in happy rainbow land where they have blacktop roads and the delivery men aren't afraid to stop. I placed an order online with these people and gave my brothers address as the shipping address and my own as the billing address. They cancelled my order because the addresses didn't match so I reordered using my own address for both. They took the money from my account and then called me and asked for a copy of my driver's license and some kind of bill that gets sent to my address. I obliged them the following day and they instantly cancelled my order. Now I fear that they only wanted my personal information because of the speed in which my order was cancelled. It felt like that was the plan the entire time. They are yet to refund the 250$ I paid them. Im pretty sure they will refund it, but it seems very fishy to me. They have now cancelled my order twice and treated me as if I'd lied to them about my identity.Business response

Robert,
Our fraud analysis system flagged your order both times therefore both orders have been refunded. We hope to be able to serve you in the near future.

Ordered an item on sale April 19th 2023. Plus a promotional discount,(5%). Days later,(4/21/2023), after the spring sale had ended, they cancelled my order on the basis that they ran out of stock. And while they refunded me completely , I missed the opportunity of purchasing the item at a $171.51 sale price savings at another hobby outlet. I was willing to wait until the item was back in stock. They refused to offer me a rain check. Made the mistake to attempt to support the smaller hobby outlets. I should had purchased through a more reputable hobby outlet such as Tower or Horizon. I can see why this business has an “F” rating and is not accredited by the BBBInitial Complaint

I purchased a RCT car from them and was told by the salesman that it was a great car. When it broke in the first hour I returned it and was told by the same salesman that it was junk and I should replace all the parts with upgrades and I bought a piece of junk and that is not abnormal with these cars because the gears are made of plastic. My grandson was with me and he really wanted to use it so I offered not to use the warranty which would cost me nothing but a few weeks but to pay $65 for the part if he would install it for free. He refused to do it and told me that is what to expect when you get a car like this. I paid $165 and at the time was told it was a good car. Things certainly changed after the sale is completed.Initial Complaint

This is there fault not mine I paid for what was offered and they should have made it right.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 10, 2022/01/06) */ Mr. *******, Unfortunately a refund will not be an option as you choose UPS during checkout and that is what we used to ship your purchase. Below you will find our cost to ship the item purchased which is greater than the $60 you paid. If you would have choosen Free shipping then it would have shipped the most economic way not a 4 business day turnaround time as it shipped from Florida to California. Please let us know if we can assist in any other way. You purchased a $78.70 shipping label and the included shipping insurance premium.

Used crypto currency to purchase two items as an experiment with crypto currencies. It has been more than 30 days since my order was accepted with nothing sent out. I have reached out to the company 4 or 5 times now with only one automatic replay on the first try saying the items would ship out once in stock. I have since ordered the same item directly from the source producer and received my item within a week. I want either my items now or full refund immediately.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2021/12/06) */ Daniel Good Evening, We have responded to you via email. We apologize if you have not received the response. Due to paying with a crypto currency it is impossible for us to refund back in American currency. We will be glad to provide a store credit that you can use to purchase any other item as Lipo battteries we are unable to ship internationally. Please contact our Support department at support@kingcobraofflorida.com Thank you for shopping with us.
