Read these reviews before I purchased…

Read these reviews before I purchased and thought they were a good company to buy from but my experience has not been positive. Once ordered communication is poor and trying to get delivery updates is awkward and I purchased upgraded quicker delivery. Item arrived damaged, box was not sealed and looked like it had been opened. Company gave many excuses and attempted to say they could not of checked a sealed box which was not sealed. Came up with a resolution of replacement parts for broken item which they then forget to sort out so weeks later I messaged to be told they had simply forgot. Very poor service in my opinion

Not sure why you're using the name "buster" when you're Adrian?

You complained of a cracked spoiler on an HPI car.

We immediately contacted HPI for you. When the spoiler didn't arrive you contacted us again, we contacted HPI again and the agent THERE said he had simply forgotten to post it. He then posted it direct to you the same day.

Not what you've painted at all. NB: Box was sealed when it left us but they are simply taped in the factory with a plant based tape and can break when you lift them out of the carton.

No excuses made and we didn't forget anything, so how a tiny crack in a spoiler which was replaced free of charge warrants a 1/5 I don't know.

I've been buying from Time Tunnel for a couple of years, since their pre-order prices are always the best I've found. They're always friendly and helpful if you have questions or requests, and the models always arrive on time and in perfect condition. Thoroughly recommended.

Quick delivery, all good

Ordered 8:28am before work. Arrived the next day 10:32am. This was the paid delivery option. But they obviously still got the order prepared & out the door very quickly (perhaps this isn't always possible).
Great there is also free delivery if you can wait.
Good prices. Would use this model shop again!

A shining example to other businesses

I recently ordered some batteries for my Volantex P51Q, These were difficult to find anywhere else.
They arrived super fast with Fedex, unfortunately I didn't let the driver into the building quickly enough. When I got the message re redelivery, I thought it's safer to have them delivered to the local garage. FedEx said they would let me know when they were there.
Several days went past and i heard nothing from them. Eventually I contacted timetunnel and they very quickly found out lthat the driver had wrongly coded the package. FedEx said they would sort it out and let me know when it was at the garage. This was at a bank holiday so several more days went past. Timetunnel again contacted thm and were told FedEx couldn't find the parcel and were conducting an investigation.
A couple more days passed and then timetumnel resent the order.
I believe you find out morel about a business when things go wrong. The situation was not of timetunnels making, but they put maximum effort into solving it. When I next need something RC related I will look to them first. Highly recommended.

Readers - make your own mind up:

He ordered an item on Saturday that says in the title "Special Order" and says in the description "Lead time is approx 4 months to obtain one from the factory.". We asked him on the Sunday to confirm he was aware of this and advised we may be able to find one (by borrowing it from a kit) on the Monday and would confirm then. We aren't online 24/7 at the weekends, the next time I put the computer on he had sent FOUR emails and opened an item not received case - for an item marked "Special Order" that he had ordered 24 hours earlier. We refunded him and told him to not bother buying again.

Slightly different to his story, isn't it?

Rude Trader

I visited the shop after checking the opening hours. Upon arrival the closed sign was on the door but trader working inside. I opened the door and said are you closed? Yes he said thats why it says closed on the door. I thought that an unnecessarily rude response . My purchases will now be made elsewhere

You claimed to have checked the opening hours, yet Google correctly showed we were closed until Friday, and our website stated in the banner at the top of every page "Walk-in shop closed until 3rd January.".

When you attempted to enter the shop, past a sign saying "Closed", you were advised we were closed and pointed to the sign on the door that said "Closed until 3rd January".

Staff were stocktaking, during which no sales can take place.

Excellent customer service.

I bought a train and when I got it, it was damaged. It was packed very well and sent out very fast. Neil was so helpful and I returned the train and got a full refund, the same day they got it. Will use again. Thank you.

Brilliant online service that follows up

Brilliant online service that follows up on its promises. Ordered various items which when delivered some items where unavailable. So they sent out the stock items clearly stating on the invoice and packaging what was to be expected. As per their instructions the remaining part of my order arrived and there was no need for me to chase up anything. Well done team really appreciate your service.
