Hey has anyone ever ordered off hobbyking I orderd some batteries quit some time ago then I read my shipping conformation and it said shipping can be up to 45 days is hobby king outside of the usa?

Are you for real?
They are in Hong Kong China...
They also have few warehouses around the world....
When you ordering, each product has a small icon showing where is coming from...
And yes, sometimes it takes that long. What is the tracking info showing you?

[brian6989]

well I guess I screwed up my tracking says swiss port singapore....not good

Brian... word to the wise, if youre ever looking to get batts from HK... try the USA warehouse first.. even though it might take some time (but itll be faster than hk). If not, try hobbypartz.com they have similar batteries and prices and are located in north america. And free shipping on orders over 25.

thanks for the web site I might just order another set from hobbypartz since my
batteries are on the slow boat from china.....literally

hobbypatz was awesome. i had problems with hk. i had to contact my bank to dispute a transaction that they recieved money for then cancelled my order... what a joke. hobbypartz was delivered 4 days after i ordered them, with free shipping, from CA to MA

[brian6989]

yes im starting to believe I screwed up....I didnt relize they were in china maybe I will get them by next winter.... LOL

You didn't screw up... it's just hard to predict what hobby king will do. At the right time and place it'll have the best deal and decent shipping. Other times it'll suck. I've bought cheap lipos and received them within 10 days. I've also bought lipos and gotten them 2 months later.

I also believe theyre under alot of pressure now.. its the beginning of summer and the start of rc hobbies so theyre getting mass orders from US. I've been getting twitter and email updates saying how far back they are on orders. Sucks.

ya i order from hk all the time..it will get to ya soon enough....just like someone said ...if u want it faster order from the us warehouse or hobbypartz...sometimes i get stuff from hk in 10days ,,,sometimes 3 to 4 weeks....

i have used most of the Chinese hobby sites, with no problems, but it can take up to a month to recieve an order

Pay for EMS shipping. You'll get it in a week or less.

My last HK order I just paid extra for UPS to bring them to me from hong kong.

[JackBlack26]

My HK orders from china have got here as quickly as 3 days and as long as 8. EMS shipping of course. But the US warehouse is in Tacoma Washington and I get those in 4 days. 1 day for processing and 3 days travel time.

[ron1950]

lately processing takes longer then shipping
