Will they, won't they?

HobbyKing customer service put to the test. I have purchased hundreds of dollars of aircraft and parts from them, will they show me any love? Hobbyists have long lamented HobbyKing's low priced equipment, versus their notoriously unreliable customer service. Here's a chance for HobbyKing to prove their mettle. I reported the loss in flight of the canopy from my HobbyKing Sbach 342 1000mm V2 aircraft, a model that shows that HobbyKing makes good quality products. While still at the fligtline I sent HobbyKing a request for help finding a replacement canopy. Overnight here's their response, from Ian, quick, to the point, utterly unhelpful, with my challenge for them to step up their game. Let's see what happens...



UPDATE 3/2/12: Well, they won't. And why I have to go to a forum to make a suggestion instead of them taking what I am sure is a very freq request for parts to a meeting themselves is beyond me...
