i really agree with kumardesai you should file a complaint against them.
If possible you can also take help of police to investigate because it is a case of robbers in customs . This is not the first it is also happened with my cousin as he ordered a glider from hobbyking and all the parts were stoled.

the parcel i recieved was not in a bad condition, n not good also 
it was not torn , but was loosely packed, i think that someone took out the contents and then taped it again.

By seeing that i also think somebody taped it again .

earlier also i had ordered from hobbyking using EMS and that reached properly although i had to pay customs, this time i used air mail and all the contents vanished into air. i had ordered flymentor and field programming unit and wattmeter. after collecting 4 450 size and one 500 size and 3 nitros and still unable to fly i thought its high time i should get myself some stablization unit and then being the patriotic sort i searched all LHS, i found this in lotushobby and there end of august the price was 8500 but when i came home and called them i was told it is now 11500, just the flymentor. then i thought of hobbyking where all together the price was 146 dollars including the shipping.
all very very sad.

I am also searching for good planes from hobbyking. lets see what happens.

Not to offend anyone but on checking i noticed that ,
every parcel which is routing via  CHANNAI  post office is effected

as there are few post offices where our parcels route , and i am sure about my
local post office old guys that they cannot do anything that cheap ,again this is my personnel thought .

any guy here from near chennai post office may help us .

please do not accept any parcel which routes from chennai with out checking it properly ,we will surely get these Bas****s by tracking them down . 

Does your tracking information mention that your parcel had gone to Chennai?

If you believe your stolen radio is in Chennai, you can alert the RC guys there to look out for a new Turnigy 9ch that enters the scene.  You can also alert the RC shops there in case the theif tries to sell it at a shop.  If Hobbyking can provide you with the serial number, that will be most helpful to find it.

I believe anyone in India, who is interested in using that radio, reads this forum and hopefully will inform you if they spot your radio.

not every one is honest , even if they get it , they will never let it disclose  to any one.but still there is hope we can get from the forum community ,unfortunately i donot know any one trustworthy from chennai personally 

totally agree with theleabres.

mera bharat mahan.... 100 mey 99 beyimman..... and we call it India shining...

Hello @ saintofinternet :- totally agree with you From 100 people 99 are corrupt.
Now to this topic:-
Actually guys the problem is in our indian post i was reading some complaints about indian post and i read that there are many in which persons sended their letter to their friends and it reached after one  year  .
There are many cases in which if your sending money to someone the post office corrupt guys only stoled from office.
I really salute to indian post office for their corrupt work .
Guys it is very serious it is happened with me also sometimes.
For sending a letter from mumbai to any place in maharastra there is fixed price of rs 78 .
but the officials took me 120 rs from me.
Means the 120-78=42 rs was eaten by corrupt guys.
So be careful guys while posting letter also.
If posting any Important documents post it by some good courier company that will be good.
Where you can get a refund of that thing.

Sorry, but I have never heard of any parcels landing in Chennai ... almost all land at Mumbai, Delhi or Kolkata

Mine last order containing Lipo landed in Chennai and then send to Mumbai customs.

Thanks for the info - This is news for me

i wrote to hobbyking regarding my package and this is their reply:

Hi VISHAL ,
Thanks for contacting the HobbyKing Support Team.

Sorry for the problem you have met,After our checking of your photo.It is apparently not the right parcel from our warehouse.We suspect that there are someone has changed your parcel on the way back to you.We suggest you make a complaint to your local post office to make them give you a reasonable explanation .


Thanks for emailing support.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Regards.
Rachel
HobbyKing Support Team

come on help me .... someone...
my parcel had been changed as per hobbyking, so what do i do now 

i would request all experianced public to give their inputs

unfortunately nothing can be done as you have received the parcel already vishal

Hi Vishal. First of all contact HobbyKing and ask for the Serial No , Model No etc of the Product that they sent. Then register an FIR a your local Police Station. Then register a complaint with IndiaPost. Do it ONLINE here

http://ccc.cept.gov.in/PCData.aspx

Contact Sundaram ji. His parcel was lost in transit once. And your parcel CONTENTS were lost. He eventually got the refund from HobbyKing. Can't say about your case. But there WILL be an internal investigation at IndiaPost. See what they reply. You may have to register a complaint at Central Board of Excise and Customs also. Anyway, since you imported a Radio & you DONT have an Import License for it, you may be fined. But thats ONLY AFTER they find your Radio.

Even if you dont get your Radio, you should register a complaint & pursue it so that it'll be a deterrent for the people who stole your parcel contents. All the Best 

Hi all
Thanks for your replies
I didn't order a radio, my order was a flymentor, a programing box for it and a wattmeter, it is a clear case of theft done at hobbyking ,customs or the post office.
I will contact sundaram sir,
Now I am worried to order anything from overseas
But I guess dhl is safe >:Do

I Really agree with nairit vishal you have post a complaint Or it will be a problem if your dont post.
Actually our indian public should teach some lessons to the Indian postal Service. Then only they will understand the power of Public.

Since you are in UP (I belong to your near by state), it is so common there. FLipkart and even many courrier refuse to deliver there.

It is sad, but only option for you is to file a proper FIR and make the Postal and Customs as offending parties.

It is a very sad state of some our states. Its not that such things don't happen in other places, but few are more notorious than others. Agree with HK as they would not have got hold of Hindi magazines and this has sure been done in your local PO or even Delhi FPO.

Better TV channel do a sting. But much much bigger scams continue to happen in plagued country. Lost/Stolen parcel is but a minor issue infront of them

It is better you get HK/China items shipped to friends/Families in other cities like Bangalore/Hyderabad/Mumbai etc or better opt for FedEx/DHL instead.

In future if you face any issues like this, you can simply go to online consumer forums like http://www.akosha.com/ and can register your complaint over there to get it resolved.
