There are alot of good hobby companys. I always sing the acolades of Woodland Scenics for this reason. Had a problem with the switch of their hot wire foam cutter, they just sent me a new unit, didn't even want the old one back. They have always been the best.

Could there be better customer service than that?

Well, they could give you a half price discount for life!!! Seriously, that is good service.

They aren't the only ones who work like that though. I have had similar experiences with InterMountain even though I bought all my IM stuff on eBay.

Great news and pretty quick service, given that it was coming and going in the mail for 4-6 days.

Rapido Trains Are The Best!

I sent my Hudson in on January 21st and got it back today, Feb 5th.

You can read the heart-wrenching story here.

 I was not expecting to see it for quite a while but this is awesome.

Considering it was rendered inoperable by my hand I could not be happier. I was quite prepared to pay for the repair and shipping but it came back to me without a word about a bill.Cowboy

They replaced the motor, put it back into quarter, updated the decoder firmware and did a cosmetic once over. They test ran it for an hour which I am happy with. They included a bunch of Rapido goodies in the return package as well. 

Could there be better customer service than that?Yes

I am looking forward to my two ten wheelers from them, I have no worries about buying any Rapido products in the future.

YIPPEE!
