hey premvijay bhaiya and sahil bhaiya hobbycity is very reliable they are not frauds and deliver according to the shipping method i generally use ems express and get it in about 5 days but it comes at a price. the customs declaration form on which you can enter the amount of bill decides the customs if your total purchase is less than 5000rs they cannot charge you anymore than 10% and anyway you can ask them to produce bill of your request and hence bring your cost below 5000rs

i would say carbon fibre is of extremely good quality and the 2mm ones which i bought for 50 rs each have nearly triples the strength of my space shuttle and yes it can be called better than or equal to those available in india

did you order via ems?

With so many people waiting so badly , apart from sending by EMS, they should start sending by 'SMS' as well! 

yep with EMS .... expecting the 2nd parcel next week
