you are beating about the bush by tracking at wrong site. check this:
http://app3.hongkongpost.com/CGI/mt/genresult.jsp?tracknbr=RB214077844HK

Your parcel left Hong Kong on 16th March and would reach you this week max if not held for customs check.
Dont jump at conclusion so soon.

ujjwal bhaiya the other website is showing the same date...

Non EMS tracking is good only till package leaves originating country(HK)... then there is a blackout time of 1-3 weeks. Keep patience.

thanks ujjwal bhiaya now there is a silver lining for me 

Hey guys, any problem with HK kya ? I havent received any of the parcels yet. They were not even big enough to be detained by customs. My first was shipped on Feb 15 yet not reached. ALL WELL THERE ? or JAPAN Tsunami impacted their business too!!!!!!

I believe its due to the Chinese New Year.

its not due to the Chinese new year..... i placed an order on 12th feb  got it on 1st march no problem with that.....its the postal system which is f****d  from that time

Just received this mail from HobbyKing.


In an ever increasing effort to drive more value into the R/C market HobbyKing has begun piloting retail store franchises in select regions around the globe, underscoring HobbyKing's commitment to the R/C industry.
Each store will retail both HobbyKing and other branded products and will also serve as a service center for warranty and technical support.
Products sold online can be serviced in-store as well as sent back to your local service center.
At a later stage 'HobbyKing Store Front's will be filling local internet orders and pre-ordering requested items from any one of HobbyKing's warehouses locally and abroad.
We hope that the HobbyKing Store Front network combined with increased service levels and a 24hr support desk (ETA May-15) will improve quality of service and ultimately customer satisfaction.

We will let you know via email the moment a store opens in your region, in the meantime if you have a local store that you would like to see carry our products please tell them to email us at m

So they are starting franchise stores ! Might be a good business opportunity for someone in India (obviously including existing hobby shops!) ?

I was just about to post the same email.

Interesting, lets see how this unfolds.

It would be super awesome if some one would take up their franchise here in India. We have a bright future ahead.

i think everyone has recieved this mail from hk...

i rememeber someone contacted them for franchise/warehouse in India, but HK replied back saying customs rules in India are very difficult to get through....

wish we would have one.....

Wow that wud be soo cool 

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Today I had to visit Customs after a long time when I realized that the Call memo which they sent last week actually refers to 3rd last package I ordered and not the already delivered one (due to which I was ignoring it)!!

I began ordering stuff from west 2 years back on my office address, thinking since it is SEZ, customs would create less hassle . On the contrary, the Superintendent cordially told that its the other way round. They were expecting .Import licence and HS code, since they were assuming its a institutional import and not a personal one! Since it was a small (500g) package, he let it go but advised me to use a residential address now on. So who ever is ordering stuff at their office address, take a note.

On the hind site, how many of you actually get the 'Custom invoice' you can generate form HC order page stuck on the Package ? Has anyone tried to tell HC to take a little pain and actually do that ? Tower Hobbies, Heli Direct and other genuine Hobby Shop in the West always tuck the invoice in a plastic envelop with the package and all the 4-5 Tower Orders have never created a problem for me.

I would urge people here to take a reference of any of your recent order and call HC support, stressing them to do that now on. If we do in mass, they might notice. Please take it as an action item for  your free time.

I just started ordering at my office address; have received two orders without a any problem so far. i'll switch my shipping address back to my residence now. Thanks for the update!
About the invoice; i always get one taped on my packages.

Well a few months ago i order some stuff from HK which weighed less then 400grams came via HK EMS for which i got a notice,at the same time i had also ordered another parcel from HK weighing 2kg via SG EMS.It came through reason it had the invoice in a plastic cover.But the HK parcel didn't have a invoice stuck.

The one 'Taped' is 'Customs Declaration' and not invoice. IT just states the total value and not 'Part wise breakup'

See HellFire's reply. The Customs declaration invoice which we generate should be put in the the package. it would hardly cost less than 1Cent to HC. This is legal thing which they have been avoiding (Ohhh... we already sell so cheap... do ask any favor.... SHIT!).

A large package would definitely (99.99%) attract customs. The other 0.01% times people are lucky.

can you please tell how much custom duty you have to pay?

Quote from: ankurkaul17 on March 11, 2011, 02:29:46 AM
Your parcel is way too heavy for you to feel happy..it will definitely get detained since you ordered a TX.

Hi Ankur, Sorry for the long delay in response to your post. Thanks for your advise bro. I'm not feeling happy....becouse i've order too heavy.

Thanks CrazyPilot for your words.

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.

ujjwaana  Thanks fo your advise bro. i've not  ignored any one advices here. as i've gone through most of the topics and people who have ordered packages like me got theire stuff, However, It may took long time, may be very few people may not. so i just took a chance. More over i'm not doing any  kind of gamble here by getting radio......

I'll just wait for few more days or by this weekend i'll contact FPO.

Once again thank you so much Crazypilot, Ankur and Ujjwaana. I'll let you know the status in some time.

Why would HK worry about indian customs?
