Will shipping guy still sketch drawings on the packaging if you ask him? I've still got some of his box art from when I used to order frequently.
RPP Hobby does not honor returns on brand new RC4wd faulty/damaged parts.
I recently purchased 3 pairs of 1.9 Flashpoint tires, and received tires that were deformed and would not mount on RC4wd rims. I contacted RPP support immediately upon receipt, and was advised by RPP that RC4wd "prefers" to deal with their own warranty claims, and my info was forwarded to RC4wd customer support. 2 weeks later, after extensive communication with RC4wd support, I received replacements from RC4wd, including another deformed tire :shock:
Just something to be aware of, especially when purchasing tires that may or may not have mold imperfections
For the record, I have been a happy repeat RPP customer for years. This is the first time I've ever had an issue, and I was disappointed and surprised that an exchange was not offered. I also submitted a PM to RPP here on the forum, just to advise of the situation and received no reply. Anyways, carry on.
Should read there policies first. Looks pretty clear to me.
I'm about to order $150 worth of stuff. The total was $154.01. That's great because it gives me free shipping. Well then I subtracted the $15 off coupon which brought my total down to $139.01. That's awesome except for the fact that shipping is now $20.61. So my total is actually more if I use your coupon. I often find this to be the case. Something has to change there. This forces me to go to your competition that offers free shipping at much lower minimum order amounts.
I also realized you just stopped accepting chats on Facebook. So now it's harder to get in touch with you. Not good. Your customer service is going the wrong way.
In my opinion, if you want to remain competitive the free shipping minimum needs to change even if it's lowered only to $100. Or maybe start a membership or "club" like a competitor or Amazon, etc, with a yearly fee that gives the members better coupons and lower free shipping prices.JatoTheRipper,
Sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your shopping experience.
We would love to give free shipping on all orders and gobs of discounts to everyone, but it is simply not possible.
We will look into our competitors' free shipping minimum order and see if it's something we can change.
As far as getting in touch we us, we are available by phone, e-mail and on this forum (and two others). With so many social media options, we found we were not able to keep track of all the messages coming from so many directions.
We appreciate your business and all the others on RCC that have trusted our service and speedy order processing over the years.

This may have already been asked but I'm just wondering what happened to the salvage yard. I used to be able to grab all kinds of useful and like new take offs but it's dwindled to a couple owners manuals and parts bags. Any chance of this turning around having bodies, chassis, axles, wheels, tires, you know, good stuff, or are the salvage yard days numbered? I'd hate to see it go and seems to me it was plenty profitable. I know it's big business on eBay, plenty of RC chop shops there but I'd rather get it from you guys. Thanks RPP.
