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

i am going to order a edf jet and a heli from hobbyking, and thinking of put all of them as one package and hobbyking is showing a option of box size as extra large.
So what is your experience with extra large box shipping; time is not much of consurne. only thing is, i remmeber i read some where on hobbyking that they ship only one model/ARF but now i am thru to payment gateway but not been promted for single model policy. So should i go with it and they will shipped it and what is packing quality of extra large box?

Hey guys, please have a kind look at these pictures below. Can anyone please tell me the expected date of arrival of my parcel from HK?
I'll be grateful to you!

Both the screen shots are of same tracking number.

 

I haven't noticed this before

the price looks less than DX 

YA SLS but not like the one we are gonna own

I think the shipping from DX is a worst one..waiting for a cable for more than 16 days..HK rocks in shipping..

Hey I have a Hobby King parcel pending for arrival at my doorstep.
Please have a kind look at my post (with 2 pics) above.
How many days it will take to arrive? Any idea??? And the IPS is still showing 'item insert into bag'

Its strange that the status is still at "insert into bag" - is that still the current status? Sorry, but I don't have much experience with Singapore Post
I have had some luck getting my parcel status from mumbai foreign post (). Out of 30 odd parcels, i have had to contact them only once when my parcel didn't come for around 37 days

globalmilind I also have my battery parcel with the same status on the same dates. Wait till monday for an update on the ipsweb and probably by 30th we will get our parcels.

Haha.... Cool! Finally someone is here to company me!!!
Well I think IPS won't update anything, its God damn SLOW!
Hopefully we'll get it within this month!
But before this, how many days it took for your previous Hobby king parcel/s to arrive???

This swiss post seems to reach me faster. Here is the tracking of one of my previous parcel. But it reached india within 2 days. I am not sure why this one is taking more time

WOW!!!! I have never seen the yellow bar in Swiss Post at FULL!!
Have a kind look at this picture, its the parcel I already got months back, but the update is still pending!

I just received a airmail parcel which still says "insert into bag"

Congrats for parcel! It feels so happy to get a parcel after a long wait!
Hey how many days it took to reach to your doorstep???

Same here! I am addicted to the feeling of receiving parcels
I got this one in 23 days before this I got two parcels in less than two weeks.

Hahaha.... Nice to know this!!!
Hey 23 days from the date of purchase or from the day it was shipped???

From the day it was shipped.
