what was the shipping cost

It was registered airmail (1kg package).

3 months!!! Thank that you got all your items intact. if you dont get any notification within 3 weeks of item reaching FPO should ring a bell. I oppose to popular saying that just keep quiet. Customs are very lazy in actually sending the Memo for invoice. One of my fellow flyer's package was sent back as Customs was expecting him to turn on a notice which they never sent.

My parcel reached from Hong Kong to me in about 13 days, from date of postage, ie date of franking on my parcel.

@ foamybuilder, Yes this matter of joy and celebration if HK parcel reaches so early. I think there's going to be a big bash on field this Sunday.

HK can give you wrong stock status, can give you wrong track no. can eat your money can send you faulty products, and still people are ready to advocate for them, yeah that's what makes hobby king so great.
Just a simple question here, asked by a LHS owner to me, "Will People forgive me if I do same things as Hobby king does regularly ?"

I know Hobby king is certainly cheap but not inexpensive.

"Peanuts", no, my money is hard earned not earned by cheating people like Hobby king

+1

Now its time for all 'Indian Post bashers' who praise HK for a fairplay and put all the blame on our own postal system, to begin accepting facts.
This is the straight Third package in as many months, which has taken much less time to delivered after landing in India than being put on the plane in Hong Kong (HK/HK Post whosoever's fault)

I made this order on Jan 12, and received it today (30th Jan).

Hobby King (??) - Total 6 days to deliver the package to POS at HK Post (whatever fibs they say)
HK Post            - 8 Days (OK! Chinese new Year. Fair)
Indian Post       -  3 days (including 2 holidays - Sat and Sunday! )... Now that I call SUPER!!!

Now tell me who is being earnest and truthful!!! I dont buy to argument that HK Post held my package for 8 +  (4 days, If I go by HK claims) due to all practical warehousing challenges (Heathrow cannot accommodate 7 day's passenger all at once in its terminals). I can accept compassion towards HK Lies, not such logic.

had placed another order recently, which got shipped today, weighing around 250 grams coming thru air mail, which got shipped out of hobbyking today, any idea about how many days itll take to come to bangalore ? this is my 4th order at hk, previous ones took around 8 - 9 days from the day it got shipped to the day it was delivered, but now i dont know how much things have changed, so would be glad to get some info from people who have recently ordered from hk thru air mail and got their parcels.

Average - 3 Weeks
Best      - 10days -2 weeks
Worst    - worst is yet to come. 3Weeks to 3 months!!

you are lucky your order got shipped, mine was placed on 26th and still waiting to be packed

yeah ... same here. HK is sleepinggggggggggggg.

Yeah somebody has to wakeup HK.  End January HK has gone sleeping!!!.... 

Order on 18th yet to be shipped.

You know I have a feeling, with so many new Indian online stores coming in picture, HK now has no priority for small or retail orders placed by people like us..... .

HK is busy catering bulk orders placed by so many Indian online stores.....

exactly, so everyday i used to contact the online cs through the chat nd bugg them up like hell, used to screw them up badly, so maybe they got fed up of me nd shipped my order out lol

Time to share some of my experience. I am a loyal TowerHobbies, HK , and other China based stores' customer. Over the last 12 years of online ordering, I have had parcels from Tower come up as soon as in 10 days ( standard shipping ) and as long as 3-1/2 years ( True - I had a 2008 parcel delivered in Jan 2012 ).

I have also placed 2 order from HK on 23rd-Jan and stil not shipped, I taked to Customer support and they said they will do it in next week, but still not any news, now chat customer portal is also not connecting

You placed the order on Chinese New Year day (for 2012), and most Chinese shops close for 7 to 10 days.  Being HobbyKing, they may not divulge these "minor" details for fear of loss of sales, but then we are all big fans... aren't we

Heres wat my order tracking status says

so more how many days it might take guys

HK guys are sleeping for sure. Ordered on 31st and still showing "Paid, Processing". I wanted to place another order, but now I will wait for them to recover from the delay due to Chinese new year.

@dhaksha_dx: On what date you placed order on HK which got shipped yesterday? Please tell us, so we can expect our parcels to be shipped on "What Date".

i placed my order on january 20th

13 days... 
Well, still good. According to it, I will receive my parcel till end of February.
I pray to god, HK recovers from delay soon.

Thanks Dhaksha.
