Any experience with HobbyDream.com?

After diving in to my first quad project and ordering a ton of stuff from HobbyKing and learning their ins and outs, like not ordering unless 10+ (BTW Turingy 9 is back in stock now), I've been looking 'outside the box' mainly for Chinese-priced counter rotating propeller options to buy in bulk and variety for testing. I came across this site that seems really new but similar to HK. I plan to place a test order for a handful of props but curious if anyone else had seen or ordered from them. Google is coming up dry since I think the site is only weeks old. They have some higher quality motors and select model replacement parts (like a few random replacement parts for some lotus brand commercially made quad)

They carry APC, GWS, and even wood counter-rotators

This is the kind of thing I'm excited about, and there are a few other size options:

Seems their shipping is similar to HK, but they offer more options and realtime prices with shipping shown! And don't forget to check out their sales on heatshrink tubing (with free shipping) for pennies a meter:

They have a testimonials section with only two terrible emails loaded, likely by someone who doesn't know English pasted them in as the first and only English emails they've received. I do like the site navigation and speed. Obviously very light on reviews so far, and seems to be run by a group of wholesalers so probably won't understand fully until I place an order. I swear I have nothing to do with this site and just thought I'd see if anyone else has dabbled here outside the HK box.

    I just bought some props from http://www.foxtechfpv.com/ They shipped them within a few hours of placing the order and the prices seemed pretty good.

     

    I have spent a fortune at HobbyKing, and for the most part, I think they are fine. Although, right now I have an order that seems to have stalled for several days at the "packing" stage.
