Hey all,

Has anyone actually bought anything from Cyber-hobby? I'm trying to go from the Shopping Cart stage to Check Out and keep getting a Security Check error message! "We have detected that your browser has generated a different SSL Session ID than was used throughout our secure pages." They recommend using IE, which I (duuh!) am using!

Before I send off an abusive email to their network/web admin I thought I'd calm down a bit and find out if anyone else has had the same or similar problems buying from them...

Rudi,

I have ordered from them a number of times with absolutely no problems. My orders (unless it is one of the newest offerings) have been shipped very quickly and have been well packaged.

I've done several purchases from Cyber-Hobby and never had any problems.

Thanks for the response, gents. Apparently Cyber-Hobby's SSL issue is well-known, albeit intermittent.

How long did you guys wait for delivery? I assume you had it sent by air?

Rudi,

I just place an order (the special deals they are offering are too good to pass up!) my last orders have taken around 2-3 weeks. Now if you are ordering one of their special kits like the last one with the 3cm flak on the 38T, you have to wait until they finally decide to close the ordering and then the item gets shipped. At least that has been my experience

Hi Darryl

Thanks mate. Actually I'm just looking for some Miniart stuff - so nothing extraordinary, I'd expect it to be readily available - that said, I'm going to confirm that it's not available from my LHS first

Rudi,

I do the same and always try to support my local hobby store or those within reasonable driving distance I saw that there are some really sweet Miniart special Dragon USA is offering though I just ordered some Concord books (almost half price), and a Dragon Panzer IV "diving tank" with fuel trailer for $29.99 US dollars
