    Customer ratings of online RC stores please read.

    I would like to know if there is any places out there where you can rate the online RC stores (even the little guys) as a customer.

    Ive had problems with vendors/online rc shops that lie to you and I keep email records to show it plain as day. I am normally a very easy going fellow. But if you dont do what you say you are doing then I feel there should be consequences.
    As a business man you should build a reputation you can stand on and make a name for yourself. Actions speak louder than words. If you start ducking someone over something then others should know that your not all that trust worthy. Not get away with screwing a few people over and think its ok.
    Im not going to mention names here. But there are 3 different of these RC shops in the USA that I have not had good dealings with.
    And what bothers me worse is prior to more in depth dealings with these places I was sending them business.

    If there is no place online to rate these places and give them reviews there should be. Or even here there should be a Thread for rating your experience with vendors. We have threads for bad trader warnings. Its really no different. And no different than us complaining about big companies that make the products we buy from. We know what to stay away from by reading customer experiences and problems.
    I would find it very comforting to be able to come here (on a sub forum thread) or got to a place online and find what im looking for when related to buying RC stuff and see what a vendor/shops rating or what people are saying about them and know to stay away or make the deal. This will also help weed out anyone wanting to be shady because they might think about what they do if they dont want to hurt their reputation. Its even a big help when buying on ebay to see the sellers rating. Please lets make this happen.

    Thank you,

    I like the idea, but a thread like this needs to be closely moderated IMO to ensure it doesn't get out of hand.

      I agree it would have to have some rules in place and be watched. Might be too much work?

        Seems like a good idea, if there were a thread like that I would probably search it before buying from a store I hadn't delt with previously. I agree it would have to me monitored closely, we have seen how the trader warning thread on here can get out of hand. All it would take is for someone to mention Chr*s F*ne and there would be four pages of ranting.

          It could be a msg board structure web site if not here on ose. And you could have the stores/vendors listed by the website name as subject threads to go into and post about them. That way a quick search of looking the forum over you could see if the place is listed. And if it isnt request it? People that even own the sites that want to promote their good name could even ask to add them to the list.

                  Thanks, i just signed up there and took a look. Nice site. Seems to be mostly Gas oriented craft. Wish I knew about that when I had my gas cat.
