one interesting thing i have observed is a small sheet off paper attached to the back of cardboard box i got my the stuff in, i never saw anything like this 

off topic 

Some time you do get that attached on your parcels and that is the correcrt way to contest the customs claims if you think it is not correct. But be sure you know your facts and figures before contesting the customs duty imposed on your package.

u guys pay by paypal/credit card

how do we buy if we have no credit card.

Ask one of your buddies to buy it for you. Buy him an ice cream or so, if not tell him you would pay him 100 bucks for every purchase u make on his CC.
There is an option of Western union, never tried it.

Open a Branchfree Banking (B2) account offered by ICICI & use VCC (Virtual Credit Card) or eWallet for making payments

My first HC order was placed on 19th Feb but still the Ware house status is "Processing"...

Hi Sriharishine,

This happened with me as well..What you need to do is immediately send a mail to and mention your order no and necessary details, probably one of your item is in backorder and that is why this happens...

So when you send this mail keep on checking your Hobbycity account and pretty soon you will get a cancel/credit for that particular item..When you cancel/credit it that amount can be used for later purchases..

Shoot a mail right away..

I have mailed along with my order number 3 days ago.... No reply so far 

HK is very short staffed in Feb/March due to Chinese holidays. Expect at least 15-20 days before they process your order. They have thousands and thousands of orders and very backlogged.

And 2 important staff have quit HK adding to the problem. It depends on the type of customer you are. I am a platinum customer(10+ orders), and If I place an order today then it will be processed and shipped within 3 working days even now

Vinay, This is my first order with HK, Hope that is why I am facing this problem.

Was it a registered Airmail you ordered through? If yes just forget about it and relax. Also check if there are any backorders by clicking on the order in the my accounts page. If any 1 of the item is back ordered, then you have to wait till it is back in stock. Below is an example of my current back order:

Z22003S20C    ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 20C    3    Backorder
F008    Part # F008 Linkage Rod Set    1    Reserved

The Reserved indicate they have it, The Backorder indicate they dont have it and are waiting. Just check that out.

All the items in my order are Reserved and  I have ordered to AIR PARCEL(delivery in 9-21 days)

Dont worry, Hobby city will ship in few days, just forget that you have ordered for a few more days. the more you worry the more the headache.
