“Discriminates against Parts of UK”

★☆☆☆☆

written by TateRoche4 on 11/05/2020

Ordered over £200 worth of items from this site, during the CoVid19 lockdown, and you'd have thought I'd have walked into their store and insulted all their families. I will begin with the fact, like most people I don't bother reading the terms and conditions when buying online. I also live in Northern Ireland. Now, this business has an online presence and refuses to ship to parts of the UK, for some unknown reason. I got told this when my order was emailed back to me by the owner saying he was cancelling the order and refunding me because he doesn't post to certain parts of the country. He uses Royal Mail and they deliver everywhere for the same price. A stamp will get a letter from Belfast to Bognor Regis. AVOID

“Not interested”

★☆☆☆☆

written by lmMcCaffrey488 on 07/08/2017

I spent a lot of money in this shop and when I bought a small drone for my grandson it failed after hitting the back of the sofa. The owner of the shop refused to give me a refund insinuating that I was crash damage, it hit a cushion ? I will never shop there again.

“Very Poor Service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Dawson102 on 02/11/2014

I ordered a new battery online. Very quick to take my money, very slow on delivery. After a week I'm still waiting. Is ModelManiacs a real store or one of those shame sites?

“Great service from this dealer”

★★★★★

written by Davidmking on 09/07/2014

Knowing nothing about lipos I got great advice on charging and care of these. Ordered a kit/charger and power pack. Told it would come 2 days later - it did, on the dot. Would thoroughly recommend this dealer.

“Parts missing”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 258Steele on 24/06/2014

I recently received a plane which had the transmitter missing from the box. Very disappointed as this was a present for my son who had waited ages to get it. Needless to say my son was very upset, having to explain to a 8 year old as to why he can't fly his new plane is never a good task. Just wish good were inspected prior to delivery. Will shop elsewhere in future.

From Modelmaniacs:
This customer ordered the Bind and Fly version of the Delta Ray - which is not supplied with a transmitter. We had supplied what the customer had ordered and this was explained to him when he contacted us after taking delivery of the product. We cannot understand a poor review when we have supplied exactly what the customer had ordered.

“Very disappointing service ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by George1066 on 22/03/2013

I bought a battery from this shop and subsequently had a problem with it and phoned for assistance. The person I spoke to was aggressive and rude. Instead of offering help he put the phone down on me. When I realised a refund was not possible I had considered buying a replacement battery. Now I will get it elsewhere.

Modelmaniacs's Response to George1066's Review

Written on: 11/04/2013

Customer damaged the battery through misuse, incorrect charging / discharging of the battery. This discharged the battery too far causing the damage.
Misuse of this nature by the user is not covered under any guarantee and therefore does not warrant replacement of refund.
Secondly our staff are never aggressive towards customers and we are disappointed that this customer feels this way.

“Excellent service”

Easily ordered through the website at a very good price and recieved our train set within 2 days in December which is fantastic. I will definitely be using them again for our train needs.

“shoddy at best”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 06/07/2012

My most recent order was not a very good experience; in fact the service I received has been appalling. The prices however are very competitive. Mark if you are still the owner of this fine model shop I would sort this out before customers turn to less experienced but more helpful online traders.
