Whats up with H&Y?

[Zman]

H&Y and Copper give each other hand jobs... I stopped dealing with both of them because the few times i bought a "new radio" it wound up being a refurb. NOT a good way to get repeat customers..

I found a bunch of old Copper catalogs from the 1980s where they actually had tech tips.
$148 for a new Cobra 148 GTL and $138 for a New Grant.......the times where minimum wage was $2.65 an hour!
Copper has always shipped me exactly what I wanted and on time. H&Y charged my CC for a Wilson 5000 they didn't have in stock and after 2 weeks, I asked them what was going on......well it was cancelled on the spot.
You get what you pay for....cheap prices and less than ideal service.

I think they have Mr. Magoo pull their orders. I always seem to get a mis-pull every other order. Last time I ordered 10 wheat lamps and got 10 Galaxy S meters instead. :blink:

Usually when their site goes weirdo, they are updating it.

Haven't had any problems with either company.

is funny back in the early 80's i used to use copper..
Well until it too me 3 months (or more) to get my AR-3500.
I had so many issues/problems with copper..

Never used H & Y but they look to be no better then copper.
These days though i do not get CB's much though..

So i Deal with Far more customer service oriented stores and companies....who also have Techs who actually know what they are doing... LOL

Their "techs" are not really techs in a sense. I knew one of them that worked on radios and all he had for a workbench was a power supply and a Dosy meter.

Not a bad deal if all you got charged for was 'wheat lamps'

Maybe not so good when you figure in their inflated shipping rates.

And even worse when you figure out that they are the other half of C****r electronics.

Yes yes. Copper = Dad, H&Y is a son


I've only used either a couple of times in all these years. The bad experience was they do NOT indicate on their websites wether or not an item is in stock. - So they will gladly process your order and you sit around and wait. I got a letter in the mail two weeks later stating the item was out of stock and would ship when it arrived. Needless to say I was not happy.

So if I must get something from them, I call them and ask if the item is in stock and available for immediate shipping.

But with all the other choices available today.....why bother with these asshats?
