Ehirobo, it'll be at least another week or ten days before it gets here. I'm going to sell all this mail order crapola on ebay and buy a blade 400 and a T-rex 450SE.

just remember, you can buy the same crapola in a store..... buying online doesn't make it crap...

That's true but the key phrase here is that I can buy it in a store. Taking eleven days to ship an order is just unacceptable, I placed an order with rchelicoptershop the same day and I got it today. If Ehirobo can't do any better than that they ought to get out of the business and make room for somebody that can.

there's lots of places like that out there... nitroheli is another one.. they'll say items are in stock, you order..and 3 weeks later is still hasn't shipped because it was back ordered from the factory.. that's why I only deal online with places that have proven themselves to be reliable... of course IF there was a LHS near me that carried any heli stuff.. I'd buy from them in the first place.. kinda stupid to order online if you can get it local and not pay shipping charges and have to wait for it to arrive...

Shipping & Returns

FAST PROCESSING TIME
We usually process your order on the same day or the next day.

WELL-TESTED
All electronic parts are checked before shipping

GOOD FIT PACKAGING
We use good fit packaging with well protection to avoid damage during transportation with relatively low shipping cost.

FAST, SAFE AND ECONOMY SHIPPING

EMS SpeedPost: Very Fast, Medium Price and Very Safe, around 3-4 business days.
The EMS SpeedPost is the local courier shipment solution provided by the Hongkong Post. The delivery will usually take place through your local post office as well. EMS Speedpost shipments are very safe and usually take only around 1 to 4 days to reach your destination.

Registered AirMail: Low price and Safe, around 6-10 business days.
The Airmail shipments are carried out through the Hongkong Post to your local post office. It usually takes around 6 to 10 days for Airmail shipments to arrive to your destination. [Leadtimes and Schedules]

Note: All shipping lead times are for reference purposes only. In exceptional cases, longer lead times may apply and shipments may be delayed by your local customs office. RCHelicopterShop.com does not offer any guarantee on the shipping lead times listed. Although the RCHELICOPTERSHOP team always proactively assists you to resolve the shipping problems, it is also your responsibility to contact your local postoffice or customs to retrieve the parcel. Stamp Duties, import taxes and any other extra charge will be paid by the recipient. The shipping cost is non-refundable once the item(s) has been sent out.

Ehirobo takes from 1 to 5 days to ship, Rchelicoptershop claims they ship the day of purchase (within reason). Right there is a difference in shipping times by up to 5 days. Add that it is coming from hong kong and easily you can see a 2 week shipping time if you are lucky.
To bust on a overseas businesses shipping practices is almost silly, the loss of one customer isn't going to even put a dent in thier business. I guess my point is that b*tching about the delivery time without checking the shipping policy first and the online vendors reputation is a bit pointless. I take into account where my vendors are located and I also do some serious investigating before i commit my money to anyone I am not standing face to face with. I made that mistake ONCE.......... and I learned a valuable lesson.
But CH, i will say that in your case, dealing locally will be a decent solution for you. Just keep in mind they get all thier parts from other places too, sometimes they don't have the parts in stock you need and have to order them. Oh Wait! Another 10 days till it arrives at your LHS! It is a viscious cycle and can easily send one over the edge and to the nearest dumpster to dispose of the remains of a once proud fleet. Of course there always is knitting to keep one occupied.....................................

Of all the things I ever lost....................................... I miss my mind the most!
