Has anyone received their parcel from Malaysia post (the new surface method)? The one which lands at Kochi.
How long does it take to reach Kochi after the status is "Send item abroad (EDI-received)"

pls help me out how many days taken to have a parcel from hobbyking ihavent get a parcel 40 days r over no status r shown battery motor and esc r orders through EMS

sundaram

Finally delivered after three months. With one part missing RMA claim raised. That's on the way. However subsequent all six parcels reached on time.  The last parcel now ordered despatched on the same date of order via Singapore post. I am sure this one will reach well in time

intorc

So, if we choose registered parcel during checkout in hobbyking, they decide whether to send by Singapore or Malaysia or China post. Don't we have a choice?

I am traveling to USin november, i just wanted to confirm will ther be any problem if I get few motors, ESC and fresky module in checkin bag?

sundaram

Now Singapore post in the same lines as Malaysian post. Ordered more than a week back still yet to be dispatched.  

The problems seems to be with Hobbyking warehousing, stocking and inventory management. It appears as is Hobbyking accepting orders without stock position and falling back to production lines after the orders are placed.


PS : When I check back its just six days back the tracking ID was updated in store. Six days to dispatch or is it I am getting impatient.

Nithinraj Kotian

now i have decided not to use Airmail (Registered) shipping option in Hobbyking  :banghead: :banghead: because it takes 2 to 3 months to reach here, so better i pay few more $ on DHL  :banghead:
