Default You figure CKRC will honor this last bunch of giveaways?

Or is this going to be like about 2/3 of their giveaways from the past year... no winner announced.

It seems like they just post these giveaways to draw attention and get sales, but only follow through with the giveaways when called out...and usually a couple weeks late.

Let's see if he follows through with the latest round.

Or if it's just more free advertising.

I doubt it'll ever happen. I make no bones about my dislike for that business. I've had great luck with every other vendor that I've dealt with on here, but That's one who has no idea what it is to take care of their customers.

I got burnt by him with their white "1500mah lipos" and they refused to replace ones that were bad. If that wasn't bad enough, the cheating at Worlds just showed me his true character. I wouldn't be surprised if he single handedly lost ProLine as ever being a major sponsor for any of our comps again.

I was wondering myself if any winners would be anounced. I wanted to ask but didnt want to post twice in the thread and disqualify myself.

We'd be lucky if he awarded the giveaways he offered in July...let alone the most recent bunch. I can understand a day or two, but he has a history of not awarding or being weeks or months late.

They don't always announce winners in the same thread.


Just checked his profile for threads started and found these.

Same here. I won't even sign up for free stuff from them.

So I guess my question is...why wasn't that little fact made in his threads? Or why even start a whole new one?

It would make more since to announce the winners in the giveaway thread instead of wasting bandwidth on a new one to just say who the winner is. I have always just announced the winner in the same thread, all you have to do is change the first post to say who won.

I don't know, I have no affiliation with them, I ordered from them once, was missing one piece in a kit and they corrected it. I don't have any other experience with them.

All I know is that a whole bunch of old giveaway threads have been brought to the top on several pages stating that a winner was never announced when it actually had been. Now there will probably be a whole new slew of "I'm in's"

I would think a product give away would have to be done from a vendor. This could stop alot of the misleading coming from ckrc. And why has RCC not addressed this situation if its ocurring as often as its been said? I've been dealing wth them for a few years and agree that their customer service sucks but have always got what I ordered, some times may take a few weeks. Guess I have just been lucky

Ok. Thats good that they addressd those giveaways from last December.

How about all the July giveaways that he didn't follow through on? No seperate threads on those?!!!

i gotta be honest if i had sh*tty customers like you i wouldnt honor anything either i deal with them on a weekly basis and have never had an issue with them ever! i could care less what has happened in the past with his competing all i know is they treat me well and go out of there way to create a friendly environment in there store front! maybe you guys should all grow up or grow a backbone and call the shop and complain directly you might be surprised when they try to help you out.

Ok douchebag. When they Screwed me on the batteries, I was told that it wasn't their problem.

Be a fanboy if you want, but remember, when you lie with dogs, you sometimes get fleas.

Ive had my fair share of problems with CKRC like most have but I do thank them for all the giveaways they do here. I really hope they will honor those old ones too. Theres alot of vendors here, big vendors, that dont do giveaways at all. Maybe king bling needs to do less of them so he can manage them better. But its also dumb that people go around rating his giveaways poorly, their giveaways, free stuff, how is that bad?

Nothing but problems I've had with them.

I refuse to do any business with them.



2 people have filed complaints with the BBB, as seen here :

http://www.bbb.org/reno/business-rev...no-nv-90005936

I would say if you have/had an issue file a complaint with the BBB.
