in transit delayed is an internal issue of the carrier. i had the same thing but the package arrived a couple of weeks later. i think its in house jargon for oops Fred put it on the wrong truck we have to wait till it gets back from Canada, Bullamakanka or wherever.
Hobbyking isnt to blame
You have to understand they are a discount house type operation keeping prices low so support is a bit wanting, but they are not dodgy.
If you are stressed pay 100X the $ for the same thing out of a large hobby group and still get the "its someone elses fault" service backup.
its a bit rude to cry " Ive been ripped off " without a real understanding .
Ive had dozens of transactions with them , had the odd issue which extra patience solved ok and saved thousand $.
Unlike many Local Hobby shops who claim service, expertise and ability to guide purchasers when in reality they have massive mark ups (the whole wholesale / retail marfia network), flog anything they feel stuck with and and most often dont give a damn hiding behind the its a factory policy etc.
