![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Hobby Engineering support and responsiveness was excellent. They had the parts I needed, suggested complementary items, and went out of their way to identify one part that I had incorrectly selected. The order was shipped complete and on-time. My first experience with Hobby Engineering dates back to 2004, so I have been a satisfied customer for over eight years now.<br><br>Having a vendor, like Hobby Engineering, that I can trust is doubly important since I live in Japan and have to depend on the vendors know-how, follow-through, and integrity. Unlike many electronic kit\/parts distributors, the Hobby Engineering management is actively involved in the industry. They are a user of the same kits that they sell, so they speak from personal knowledge. That was obvious from the first time I contacted them and gave me the confidence to place my orders with them over the years. I highly recommend them.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Hobby_Engineering\/review\/2245009#comment2245009","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Hobby_Engineering.jpg","store_name":"Hobby Engineering","username":"lafugitt","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Hobby Engineering is quite possibly the coolest store ever, bar none.<br><br>Al is a wealth of knowledge and advice and just fun to talk to. I could (and have) spend hours just roaming the store and talking to him about all kinds of different things.<br><br>There\u0027s nothing in this store that comes ready-made to plug it in and just use it. It\u0027s all about DIY and possibilities that the manufacturer \u0022never intended\u0022.<br><br>I\u0027ve always gotten prompt, courteous service, Al has done a great job of standing behind his products, and his prices are quite reasonable. You might save a few pennies on Amazon or somewhere else for some of this stuff, but you\u0027ll lose out on a great opportunity to discuss your project with a true enthusiast and you won\u0027t get the kind of friendly encouragement and support you can get here.<br><br>Hobby Engineering is the go to place for Bay Area makers as far as I\u0027m concerned.<br>","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Hobby_Engineering\/review\/2181315#comment2181315","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Hobby_Engineering.jpg","store_name":"Hobby Engineering","username":"owendelong","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I had two choices - a big corporation on the opposite coast, or a small store that\u0027s relatively local, provided better information, faster shipping, and even with the required local sales tax, a lower price!

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Shopping with an unknown name on-line can be scary; I\u0027m never sure if I\u0027m just throwing my money away. I need not have worried shopping at Hobby Engineering! When I called and spoke with Al, I got all the information I needed to make an informed decision on my purchase. He helped me to understand what I was looking at and what would best serve my purpose. The product came quickly and well packaged. I can\u0027t wait to make another purchase. I just wish I lived near the store so I could oogle all the fun-looking stuff!","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Hobby_Engineering\/review\/2179241#comment2179241","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Hobby_Engineering.jpg","store_name":"Hobby Engineering","username":"unidentified","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I ordered and received some switches from Hobby Engineering and they were not what I was looking for. I received a full refund. When you deal with Hobby Engineering, dont expect a big corporate experience. I think its really just one guy (maybe a few helpers) who care about what they sell passionately. It may take time for you to get your questions answered but if you\u0027re persistent it will be worth it.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Hobby_Engineering\/review\/2065955#comment2065955","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Hobby_Engineering.jpg","store_name":"Hobby Engineering","username":"Mucklechumps","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}

I don\u0027t know if he\u0027s bribing the mailman with cookies or what, but my orders get here very quickly, and always well packed and protected.

"I really liked purchasing from Hobby Engineering because it was painless. Some basic information and your off to complete your purchase. I would definitely make another purchase and recommend them to any hobbyist that has the same interest as me."
