I hope this thread isn't out of line but figured this isn't a Fasttech owned webpage so discussing competitors would be ok.
I have heard nothing but horror stories about banggood and that has made me shy away from using the site. Now I have noticed the prices are almost always cheaper on FT anyway so I didn't feel I was missing out on anything. Anyway I needed to get some specific propeller blades for a quad racer of mine. I had a look at a few RC sites. Banggood not only had them but at a cheap price as well.
I figured it wasn't a huge amount of money I would take the punt. So on sunday Jan 30th I placed a order that said would ship of feb 2nd. On that very same day just minutes apart I ordered some batteries from FT that listed "in Stock". Yesterday Feb 1st a day earlier than stated I had that order and one other on Banggood listed shipped. Now today FT the 2nd of Feb my order for the "in stock" batteries is still sitting in the scheduled ship date status with no movement in sight.
Now I do enjoy the prices don't get me wrong, but the failure to deliver on almost any promise made is extremely frustrating. And I have to wonder if Banggood is a better option despite the horror stories. Has anyone here done trading with both places? Is Banggood as bad as people say or is it just fine to use? Did I just get extremely lucky?
