Based on recent customer reviews, The Hobby Group faces significant customer dissatisfaction primarily around subscription cancellation difficulties, unauthorized debit order deductions, and product quality concerns. Many customers report receiving low-quality drones that do not match advertised descriptions and feel overpriced compared to retail alternatives. Cancellation requests are frequently ignored, with continued billing after membership termination. Delivery delays and poor communication further frustrate customers. A small number of positive reviews praise helpful sales staff like Paul and Bianca, but the overwhelming sentiment reflects distrust, perceived dishonesty, and a deeply negative after-sales experience.

Based on recent customer reviews, this business delivers a consistently strong customer experience anchored by outstanding agent quality and rapid communication. Customers frequently name individual consultants and praise their friendliness, patience, and professionalism. Recurring praise is given to claims and roadside assistance, though a vocal minority report frustrating delays, rejected claims, and poor transparency around premium increases.

These people are *******. they have been recommended by Platinum life and recommend that they should mind who they affiliate themselves with. Once you sign the debit order they change the reference so you cannot stop the debit order, which is not what say when the get you to sign up. complaints logged they just don't get back to you.
