Thanks for warning us, Greg @gkittinger

Thanks for the warning @gkittinger !

Thanks for the info, Greg (@gkittinger). Getting the paint and weathering stuff I need is always a problem at my local hobby store, so I have one or two online places that have good stocks and short shipping. My wife is a quilter and she says there are similar problems with some places offering things they don't have.

Good looking out, Greg.

What makes this vendor a definite "No-no" is how its website is prepared: I went to the website and clicked on "About us" at the very bottom, and I see this:

Over past 20 or so years, I have spent thousands of dollars with hundreds of vendors on the Internet. I imagine I am no different than the rest of us. With all of those vendors and all of those sales I have never once been ripped off. I have never once failed to get a refund when something was out of stock or became unavailable. EXCEPT for this vendor. I ordered some Hataka paint from them, they immediately charged my credit card, and then I heard nothing. I emailed them. No reply. I tried to call, but it went straight to voicemail. I did go to my credit card company eventually, but I was told that the transaction was over 90 days old so they could not help me. The only difference between this guy and Jesse James is that Jesse James used a gun. With so many good vendors out there ready to sell us the hobby supplies that we need, there is absolutely no reason to think of sending an order to http://www.hobbyworld-usa.com. I hate to be negative here, but this vendor is in a bad class by himself.

Well said Matt!
