Problems shipping from hobby king international warehouse...
All,
Apparently customs is currently causing issues in HK and hobby king cannot ship out any orders. My order from two weeks ago is still sitting on their dock. I will update this thread when it ships, however since they bill at order placement and not at shipping like most companies, it is advised to not place orders until they can ship again! The most frustrating part, they keep telling me it will ship for sure in 1-2 days... Thanks, Tom

Re: Problems shipping from hobby king international warehouse...
I'm having a similar experience with HK right now. I recently placed an order that included several batteries but noted on the tracking that after the shipment was turned over to Singapore Post, it was "Returned to Sender". I inquired with HK about why it was returned and they said, "We are currently experiencing a custom issue with package containing battery. Your package will return to us since Singapore Post no longer accept packages with battery included. Once we received the bounce back parcel. We will be issuing you a full refund including the shipping cost.". I wonder if they'll remember to reimburse my $34.00 in bonus points I used toward the order as well Stay tuned....

Don't they send batteries via Swiss post?
If they can no longer send lipos we are screwed!

Yet another pack of lies from HK. Really.... They can't process a refund until they get the parcel back? What is REALLY going on here is that, they don't want to lose the sale so, my guess is that my parcel HAS been returned but they're just hanging on to it and will reship it once they get their sh*t together. They simply don't want to refund $$$. By the way, HK's "professional response" is little consolation for their very unprofessional customer service !!!

Re: Problems shipping from hobby king international warehouse...
Odd, I just received a box of HK, Turnigy nano-tech LiFePo4 Receiver Packs last Monday. Delivery was via Singapore post. It took a bit longer than usual...I placed the order Aug 26. Normally I receive my orders within two weeks, even as little as eight days sometimes. I did notice my box was roughly torn open then taped up again..haven't experienced that for a while.
Perhaps it's Canada post giving the sending couriers a hard time. That would really hurt. I certainly don't want to pay LHS prices for similar batteries and other convenient accessories. Anyway, I doubt we'll see the end of HobbyKing anytime soon. They're now a global supplier and Canada is a tiny market by comparison. Den |
