Books, Crafts & Hobbies

A replacement servo, a bottle of paint, and the kit that has been on a shelf behind the counter since Thursday.

HobbyTown stores are franchised and mostly sell over the counter, so call the store, agree what you want, and pay by card on the phone. Ask them to hold it under your name, then request a delivery on this page and a hopper collects it. You pay the store's price, and the trip comes with live GPS tracking and a photo confirmation when it lands.

The reason people use a shop like this rather than ordering online is that the shelves hold things that are hard to find and easy to get wrong: a specific scale, a particular pinion, the paint that matches a kit from two years ago. Staff will usually check a part number for you on the phone, which is worth doing before booking anything. Because each store is independently owned, stock and hours differ from one location to the next, so book against the store you actually spoke to.

FAQ

Common Questions About HobbyTown Delivery

Yes — UniHop makes it easy to get same-day or scheduled delivery from HobbyTown. HobbyTown doesn't take online pickup orders everywhere, so you buy by phone or in person, and a hopper collects the order and brings it to your doorstep.
  1. Call your HobbyTown location (find it on their site (hobbytown.com)) or stop in, choose your items, and pay for them — drivers can't order or pay on your behalf.
  2. Ask the store to hold the order under your name, and confirm they'll release it to a third-party courier.
  3. Request a delivery on this page with that pickup name.
  4. Make sure the order is fully paid and ready before the driver arrives — if the store won't release it, a cancellation fee may apply.
  5. A hopper picks up your HobbyTown order and delivers it to your door, with live tracking the whole way.
Ask when you call to place and pay for the order — that's the natural moment. Check they'll release it to a courier collecting for you, what they need at pickup (usually the name it's held under, sometimes an order number), and that it'll be set aside and ready rather than still being prepared. Most stores are fine with it, but policies vary by location — if a driver arrives and the store won't release the order, a cancellation fee may apply.
HobbyTown deliveries cost $14.99, with no item upcharges and no service fees — you pay exactly what the store charges for your items. Deliveries over 15 miles add $1 per mile, and oversize or special-handling items have different rates. The order form shows your exact price before you book.
For ASAP requests, a driver is dispatched within minutes and heads to the store once your order is ready. Delivery time mostly depends on the distance between the store and your door. You can also schedule pickup for a specific time.
Yes. Every delivery includes real-time GPS tracking, SMS updates, and a photo confirmation on arrival. Live chat support is available from 5 AM to midnight, seven days a week, and orders are accepted 24/7/365.
UniHop is an independent delivery service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by HobbyTown. You set up the delivery — similar to sending a friend to pick up an order on your behalf.
Call the store, tell them what you want, and pay over the phone by card so the order is settled before a driver arrives. HobbyTown locations are independently franchised, so each one keeps its own stock and sets its own hold policy — ask when you call.
Ask them to confirm it is in hand and set aside under your name. Hobby parts are the definition of specific, and a servo or a scale kit that is close but not identical is not much use once it arrives.
Lithium packs for RC vehicles need handling with a bit of care, so mention them at booking. The store packs them for transport, and the driver keeps the load stable and out of direct sun on the way over.

What Shoppers Say About Their Deliveries

★★★★★
I recently ordered a cake, and the delivery service exceeded my expectations! Arthur, the delivery man, went above and beyond to ensure my cake arrived in perfect condition. He kept two A/C vents blowing on the cake throughout the journey, ensuring it stayed cool and pristine. The cake was delivered on time, and Arthur's professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive.

Easy to order, vegan option (not lacking in flavor or presentation), same day, prompt delivery, and communication was on point. The card delivered with the order was hand-written, which made it that much better! Many thanks and I will be ordering again!

Loved the constant updates sent on the day the cake was to arrive. And the delivery driver was exceptional. Gave instructions and wished my mom a happy birthday for her special day.

★★★★★
Excellent service, from start to finish! The self-serve send-to-a-friend was a breeze, though help was at hand if needed. Pickup and delivery were smooth and timely, as were communications during both. Highly recommended!
