I have ordered a lot of stuff from Hong Kong using their Speed Post Service. I assume that this is how your parcel is coming.
Don't worry it is definately due very soon

Yes does seem a little strange.. Just confirm with the seller your shipping address for peace of mind.

For all your HK postage inquiries, you'll probably find your answer here.

EMS is expensive....
Although Where I buy from in Hong Kong I have never been charged more than $25.00US for a car kit and parts shipped together. My supplier uses Hong Kong Speedpost with a 3-4 day delivery time and on line tracking... Some suppliers do make profit on Shipping costs.
Andy at www.hobbymania.com.hk does not!!

This means they have attempted to deliver it and no one was home. Happened to me before.

Call the Aust Post EMS tracking centre and they will tell you where it's at. i.e. back at the mail hub, your local post office etc etc

Depends on what shop you get your stuff from I have gotten prices from several shops in HK and the price for EMS shipping varied from US$32 to US$18 for the same Items so just shop around and find the best deal on shipping
Buy the way the guy with the cheaper postage was also the cheapest price on goods also

If they have attempted to deliver the Item they will always leave a card in your mailbox for you to pick the item up from your post office. If there has not been one in your mail box then they have not tried to deliver. I receive one to two Items from overseas every week and know the proceedure very well. The contracted delivery person will always leave a card to let you know they have been there.

Maybe its because racing lines doesnt put RRP on most things it advertises or tests



Or could it be things are just heaps more cheaper overseas then here in aus

Lets not start up this topic here.

David you're treading on thin Ice. The Australian Hobby Suppliers and Stores get very defensive over this subject. Seems they don't like the facts
