The first thing is to take many pictures of the package BEFORE you open it. 

only pic of packaging is not important. when ever you receive the parcel... weight it and record it. open the box and take the pictures of internal only without removing the air poly bags.. then remove and check the items AND TAKE PICTURES as clear as possible. if anything missing....report it to hobbyking....next will be your luck...
AND LUCK PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE BETWEEN HK AND INDIA

Yesterday I received a Parcel from HK which was though nicely packed but the main flap was held by just a single strip of packing tape across and not along the length and since the outer card board shell was crushed partially, one could put two fingers inside the sides of the main flap and could easily pull out a small items in small packets.

Though nothing was missing I was wondering items like gold 3mm bullet connectors could have fallen down or could have been taken out.

I am thinking of giving a feedback to hobbyking to seal parcel along the length of the flap to prevent tamper, since still lot is desirable in the performance of Indian Postal service.

Till date I have lost a Dremel 300 sent to me through Registered India Post, One Canada Post Parcel from Plantraco is still on the way for last two months. waiting for the three months barrier, But never lost a HK Parcel.

Oh, so it's not just me who has encountered this. Had been thru the same situation, mentioned this in the product feedback. Luckily even I didn't lose anything though there were small items

I think most (if not all) of it happens locally. The packages we receive here in Qatar (about 40 so far for me alone, about the same number for my brother and more for others), and the packages arrive in decent shape.

oh You Lucky guys.

Yes luck plays a important role for these loosely packed HK parcels.

post man is known fellow, never had problem with him.

Parcel itself is very poorly packed.

I dont think the postman is responsible for this...ask hobbyking for a refund , or else open a dispute via Paypal
and what were the items that were missing ?

Or is it 'cos they wanna reduce packing weight(by using not so good quality paking stuff) to cut down shipping weight? I ask this 'cos I felt that the packing material used was rather cheap for the stuff I ordered. The bubble wrap was dandy, but the box was frail and decaying 

I have only purchased once from HK and compare it with other RC joints while I was in the US. So it maybe that I just got a bad box. You folks would know better.

Frankly speaking, I was rather surprised that I didn't lose anything I ordered from the box, after seeing the dilapidated package. My mother had received the package for me and on seeing it advised me not to buy stuff from such sellers. Evidently, she didn't like the aesthetics 

Yeah man !!! My parcel is on the way to my home. thanks for all of u guyz for helping me out  

Good to know this Daksha!
Have a great time!

Thanks

well guess what the post office is in the cross  behind my cross LOL

and i had told hk to attach a copy of the invoice outside my parcel

Glad to know 

Hi, i  just placed an order at HK, but still havent got the payment confirm/recieved email although i made the payment some mins ago(about 15 mins ago)

How long does it take for Hobby King to send me an email that my payment has been realise and my order is confirm?

You should get it within 48 hours. Nothing to worry. I have been in the same situation

Hai,
can i pay hk by my sbi debit card ? I have no credit card.

Me too, I have only PNB debit card, I aalso want to know whether it can be used for HK payment?
It has Visa written on it with a world map

Merged... Please keep all HK purchase related discussion in this thread.

hey i want to place another order but i guess hk wont accept debit card payments

Any Global Debit card can be used for payment. I use my BOI & Kotak Debit cards for payment on HK.

does it normally take more time if hk ships through Hong kong post
RS904296291CH is still nowhere reached india

guys plz advice!!

Hey you will get your item surely within this week! Don't follow this update, the good point is that it has departed from Hong Kong on June 03.
They won't update once the parcel leaves Hong Kong. And I think HK Post is even better!
I also have 6 different parcels coming from HK Post on the same date as yours.
So relax, its okay!
Cheers!
