Have had preorders cancelled even after the item came available. Also, don't like the money down requirement for preorders, and other vendors don't do this. Would rather have better prices than earning discounts.

Somehow, my credit/debit card doesn't go through just only for this shop. The payment page keeps saying the card info. were incorrect. I kept tried several times until the card was blocked. Contacted the bank and they said the transaction was on pending status and they were not sure why. So I ended up paid though PayPal instead with the same card.

Factory Direct Hobbies has a habit of sending partial shipments. Not all facilities are following the exact same protocols. Because the shipments arrive a different times, it can be difficult to determine if all items have arrived. I receive lots of incoming shipments and it can take me weeks and months to open all the packages. So, I cannot provide FDH with a 5-star rating on shipping as for me their method makes it difficult to know when everything has arrived. Missing items not replaced.
