Gents,

Just closed/cancelled an order with Internethobbies.com. I thought nothing of it when making my order until I got a weak, terse emails in reply to my concerns. So, after bringing this up to the guys on TL I find IH has a pathetic reputation and has a really poor BBB rating, even a post on FB regarding their bad reputation. Every single comment is bad. I supposedly have a refund coming, we'll see. Point being, word of mouth is the best shopping experience you can have. So take heed, Brothers, doing business with IH can be hazardous to your wallet's health! Just sayin.

Cheers, Ski.

Ruck Over Bby!

Great news! I'll stay away from those guys! I'm a bit leary anytime I order something online, no matter who the seller is.

Now I limit my modeling purchases to just 2 or 3 reliable online sites.
