Copper Electronics

I'm looking to buy from copper for the first time, are they a credible place to buy from?

I bought several times from h&y which always did well but I'm finding they're just a memory now.

Same here. I have ordered lots of times from Copper over the years, latest about 2 months ago.
Never had an issue.
Just keep in mind that Copper does not honor manufacturer warranties on radios, amplifiers and such.
 
Just about everything I have bought from them has been suspiciously refurbished and not well. Meters broken, radios with bad solder. Only one of 5 or so orders was without issue. They also have a NO RETURN policy. My recommendation: Stay away.

They also do not allow critical product reviews to be posted.
 
I would stay away from copper as well. I have never had an issue with my 5 or 6 orders from them over the years but it seems like alot more people have trouble with them than not. I have been using wallcott radio lately. They are good so far for buying stuff.

I will add "Caveat Emptor" - yes, they will no longer stand in the way of warranties. Being that they offer none, at least a blank graphical page, with no other advice. So to me this signals, they let the manufacturer do this - too many times under the Microscope from Societal and Social pressures...

I just kept getting banned from their forum for being honest and speaking my opinion. Imagine that, sweet lovable me...being banned.
 
I’ve never bought from them that I can remember but I did do some business with H&Y back in the day. Beyond those golden days I just order everything I want directly, I’m not much help on this.
