Title: Hobby King International (Hong Kong) warehouse Shipping!
Post by: AdamG on March 21, 2016, 11:38:03 AM

Well this morning I am in complete shock that a package I ordered from Hobby King from their Hong Kong warehouse on Thursday 17th has arrived here this morning on Monday the 21st  :o :o :o I expected a good 3-4 week wait! Not 4 days!! :D

we're UK items out of stock?

they may have been shipped from the UK instead?

I have always found HK to be pretty good tbh!

They were items that are only stocked in the International warehouse. Definitely came from Hong Kong, had a Chinese postage label and a senders address, google mapped it and it was Hong Kong.

I don't blame you for not believing me Brucey, I didn't believe it myself at first, hence the googling mentioned above  :P

You see that's more like what I expect! I genuinely didn't expect to see the package for another 3 weeks from now.

Nothing super interesting, It was 2 x 1800 Fatshark batteries for me, 1 for my dad, and a multi-star 5200 3S for my dads GS.

These Fatshark batteries feel extremely good quality compared to the original ones. They should be for the price. Even things like the power cable is super flexible. Battery level LED is a nice feature too.

Nice, wasn't too long for you either then. No 4 day turnaround mind  :P

I went with the only option they gave me, UPS at $18

Got done by customs charges too  (?)

Haha,

Knew it was standard posting :P

I always go for dhl if available.
It never fails to reach me within 3-4 days.

And the price difference between that and standard is usually about £5 or so.
