Default RE: Hobbyking.com shipping wories

Lol, I am sorry but this is really funny . 2days and your calling the dogs with a post
1)Its HongKong , its 15 hours by flight if you fly direct . Why is this relavant ??? its far haha (if you live in the states )
2)by container its 30 days on the water
3)By speed post it at leaste two weeks minimum (to the states )
4)custom clearance -
Now, please consider this , I have placed over 8 orders , you place them and forget them and never ever never ever order a backorder product , shame on you if you do and your in a hurry . That can take 4 to 8 weeks depending on demand and seasonality .
I have had nothing but absolutly flawless shipping , complete shipping , no damage in shipping and excellant quality from HK .
My Lipos were 1/3 the cost of the big ones in the states , my small servos were powerfrul and 50% of what I paid in the states , and even my planes were excellant and delivered without problems . Why pay a distributor for placeing there own sticker on the same product that is coming from HK at 50% and less
I build my orders over time , then order to get the best on shipping .
Example , I order a high costing item perhaps two big lipos at $75 each , two esc at $75 ecah , then I add things like servos , magnets , spinners ect depending on needs .
