may be you missed the 30 minutes window in which you are supposed to order and pay.

sun,

if you know the process of booking a snap slaes ,pls share with me

I only know what is written on their snap sale page.

Quote from: HobbyKing 30 min Snap Sale
Every 30 minutes a new discount will be created and the old discount will become inactive.
To take advantage of the discount you must copy the code and paste it into the discount code field during checkout and before the discount expires.

IMO this is useless, u'll have to be very lucky to have your product in snap sale, and what if it comes in when you are sleeping dont waste your time on it.

There are so many posts already about "western union", have you searched for the same ?

Hi Guys

Need some help regarding some items (Lipo Battries, ESC, Props, Motors ) ordered by me on 5th Feb'11. Tracking shows that the parcel reached Delhi IMC on 20th and was released by Customs the same day. However I have still not received tha same. On checking with the Hobby king guys through the online chat I get the same reply - wait for some time before we start the investigation.
Can anybody helm me with a way forward

Is your postal address in Mumbai or Delhi?

Its Mumbai actually. However the parcel seems to have landed in Delhi

Call: 2261 1791. This is the FPO, Mumbai. It will take several tries to get through but they will give you an update. If it has not yet reached them, try again after a few days.

Thanks Very much Sushil

Swiss Post (for Lipos) had inward center in Delhi for the entire country. No serious customs check happens on the IMCs and all the packages are checked by customs at your regional FPO (Mumbai). Its already long and I would suggest you to hit Mumbai FPO with the Tracking#, Invoice, and a small writeup regarding content and its use.

All the best!

Hello Brothers!

How are you people! I have a problem abt a package which i've order from Hobby King. I've order the package on Feb 01 2011 where as now the status of my order is showing on IPS Web tracking as below.

However, As per the previous post of our frnds, i was expecting my parcel to be moved from customs, will it be moved? any idea?
My parcel(4500grm) contains.....RTF electric plain with 6ch TX and RX and Lipo batery....i know but i was temited to buy. and now i am sure that god is with me i will get it. but please advise me do i need to contact customs mumbai regarding my parcel? or do i need to wait for some more time. if i need to go mumbai i cant cozz its far from my place. so what to do.......

your item might be detained. just wait for some more days (there maybe a backlog) and if the status does not change on ips web tracking then u need to call mumbai fpo and inquire about it.

how can we know that as the status is showind as Send item to customs (Inb)  and on singapore post is showing as heald by customs not as detained..... help me out pls

Hi

Your parcel is way too heavy for you to feel happy..it will definitely get detained since you ordered a TX. You just have to wait for the customs to send you a notice. It will take some time as Mumbai customs is slow in processing. Also sometimes the IPs webtracking website is not updated.

Regards
Ankur

Your Slurrpy  temptation and greed to save on shipping, ignoring all the advices by seniors here is deemed to put you in trouble. I won't say people have not got thru packages like these, but they were not the first timers or at least had some 'Acquaintance' with the customs folks.

Getting an ARF is still fine, getting Radio is gamble, but getting both together, and that thru Mumbai (you dont have much control over that) is like suicide.

All said and done, don't delay. Call the FPO (Not PAD/customs) and quote your Tracking no. If  the Post office folks tell that it is still waiting customs clearance or, for worse, impounded, head for the FPO immediately. You might have to furnish much of explanation (ARF + RADIO), and if lucky, would get your stuff through.

I Got my parcel today thru EMS. Indian Post took full 3 working days (1 vs HK Post) to complete the shipment, and still did not update the tracking site. Would like to remind the patriots that just like international Passport consortium, intl EMS /Post mandates country to put tracking in place. Wonder how long the biggest IT service exporter like India would trail in IT infrastructure. And Mind you, Indian Post does not cost you cheap ( 450 vs $5.45 for same package round trip)

<Edit>
Ok, I visited the Indian Post site to check my EMS parcel status, see the attached pics , how well their site functions:
</Edit>

Congrats for RX and TX!!!!
Any idea how long it takes for HobbyKing to ship (I paid 2 days ago, but the status is still 'Processing' and how many days it will take to arrive India?

Thank u buddy..All my parcels from hobbyking came by ordinary registered airmail took 14 to 15 days from the date of payment..

they would never know what that is
