About how long does it take for an order from Hobby King to arrive in your experience? Says was shipped 9/30 to the East Coast.

If you chose the cheapest shipping method, probably a month. If you paid for EMS or some other quicker service about 7-10 days.

Remember, Hobby King (or any other vendor) ships it out on a certain date...then its the POSTAL SYSTEM that either gets it to you quickly, or not.

depends usually 7-10 days if coming from hong kong. if come from the U.S. warehouse shipping can be really quick

I've found that shipping hard parts from the International Warehouse to California by the less expensive Air Parcel (vs. EMS which costs more) usually arrives in just a few days (if that) longer than if shipped EMS. Usually about 8-10 days. Not sure about batteries which are regulated differently.

Just ordered a Tfl Genesis Cat from the US warehouse. Email from HK says 30-45 Days. I paid for UPS shipping. Guess it depends where it comes from, I think the boat is coming for China.

I've laced several orders via HK. I liked the idea of the US warehouses when they opened. I am not sure if things have changed, but I thought it was stupid that they charged considerably more for any given parts if you ordered from the US outlets, rather than from HK......

I've also placed several orders over the past 3 years. I live west coast. Mostly ordered batteries, esc's, and running gear. Typical wait time 15-20 days. Don't be in a rush. The US warehouse seems to have only improved shipping time by a few days. Still seems like Moses or Molasses runs their shipping department. Also, would suggest using paypal or some secondary protection to purchase over the net. Using paypal instead of sharing a card number adds a layer of protection.....Just sayin.......

Got another E-mail from HK today. Now the Genesis is going to be delivered tomorrow. Customer service wow, not holding my breath. We will see if it makes it tomorrow.

TFL Genesis from HK ordered on Mon 9/30 Delivered 10/4. UPS paid $15 shipping.

[Snowride]

I have to assume this is from the USA warehouse facility which would make sense on by fast delivery.
