Hobbyking broke the record
I live in Florida. I ordered 10 servos from HK late Wednesday, November 6. They are here today, Saturday, November 9. A new record for my personal orders, now at 114. Thanks HK. I did pay for priority mail, which was about 80 cents more than regular, and yes, the package was light. BUT, it's here. Personal best for Hong Kong was 8 days, standard shipping. Also had some big box Kong orders take 3-4 weeks during the holidays. The post office gets it right sometimes.
No, I don't work for HK. Wish I did. No, they don't send me free stuff. Wish they did. I wrote this post because the HK detractors need to be told that the reason HK is such a success -- with all the magazines, even some of the smarter LHSs, and most of the guys -- is because they have good stuff, and if you do the research you get great bargains to boot. Latest prizes are the Skipper and the Stinger64 4S. I saved the post office tracking list but couldn't post it here. The file was 36KB, so I don't know why. --Tony |

ghost No matter what anyone says I find it incredulous that any parcel could move through the ordering /shipping process, postal systems from Hong Kong, to New York, clear customs, and make it to Florida in just three days. Sorry but that is just a little too much for anyone with experience ordering from Hong Kong to buy off on. |
When I lived in LA I ordered some foam wheel/tires for an onroad car I had, this was a different vendor not HK, they got to me in 3 days,, sent airmail,, I too was amazed.

Sometimes, just sometimes, you can also get a good tasting lemon... LOL
Joke apart, I had never any issues with HK shipping, it's their "lacking" service I don't like. Cheers. V. |

Maybe they just happened to have it in stock in their supposed U.S. warehouse?

My last order:
All stuff at HK warehouse, no back order items nor batteries included: - order and payment done 16th Sept - in "print queue" until 26th Sept when HK claimed it was eventually shipped - eventually 10th October it appeared to Singapore speed post tracking - 6th November "delivered to airline" -> I still havent received the damn package :( It was last time for me to trust on HobbyKing. |
Sorry guys, I didn't mention it was from the state of Washington. I did say my Hong Kong record was eight days. I saved the tracking from the USPS. I'll send it to you via email if you wish. I'm going to try to post it here again. Hope I can figure it out. --Tony

They mailed the order at 4:17PM on Thursday, in my shop on Saturday at 1 PM. Less than two days in the mail. I didn't expect HK to drop what they were doing Wednesday night to do my order.... post office was closed anyway..... BUT, I paid for "priority" which was only 80 cents more than what used to be called parcel post. HK decided to send it 2-day. Whatever, my point really is -- if you aren't availing yourself of some of their great bargains and great products, you are doing yourself a disservice. Over and out.

I get great bargains from HURC, BP Hobbies, and a dozen others here in the States that are also priced right and have great service (as opposed to no servce) when you need it.
