Default Cotd*mn HobbyKing orders!!!

Man oh man. I ordered a few things on HK back on 04/08 and its been sitting in "processing" since then. Now they were REAL quick to charge my account almost instantly. I keep getting this generic we will ship out ASAP crappola for almost 8 days now. This is straight crap man.

I know they moved warehouses and all that stuff but this is ridonkulous. Last time I buy from HK again Hello ValueHobby and HobbyPartz!

Anybody else have orders just sitting on there collecting "processing" dust?

I had the prob as well it was sitting there for almost 2 weeks before they shipped it out and i paid extra for the ems or whatever fast shipping

+100 for using hobby parts man i orders a AC6 charger from them "wich ROcks by the way!!"""
It didn't come with a deans charge lead like shows in the video and in the pic so i got on the live chat and told them about it i got one in the mail 4 days later! and a discount on my next order ! !

HobbyParts good to go~

I guess I have been lucky, several orders totaling well over $1000 and never had to wait excessively. My last order was 2 weeks ago with EMS and it took 5 days to arrive from the time I paid. I do like Hobbypartz though, cant beat the shipping from US. Even though I have been lucky ordering from Hobbyking, I do plan way ahead when ordering from them.

I've ordered 4 times from HK - 2 with standard shipping and 2 with EMS. The first standard shipping moved right on thru and was here in 11days. the next time, it just sat (like yours is doing) and showed 'processing' for 10days - that one took 3 weeks to arrive. Wonder if they are somehow getting caught out of stock and thats whats causing the wait. Their little stock counter might be a gimmick??

They know most won't order something that is listed as out of stock - maybe they are fudging that a little? Anyway, hope you didn't pay for EMS to have it sit and sit and sit!!

Yeah its not super critical. I nabbed one of those cheapo HK 2.4ghz tx/rx combos and an extra receiver. I don't think I ordered via EMS but still man my order has been sitting too long. And I hafta wait another 2 weeks for it to drop at my door? Deeyamn.

Anybody ever order through ValueHobby? Smaller selection but like HobbyPartz they have a US based office. I might order some Lipos through them to check it out.

I've purchased a few Lipos and a charger through ValueHobby. They really do ship fast but I'm like next door to them in Chicago.

My two year old 3S 1200mah Crawler packs have just started to puff up but last year's are still good to go.

I purchase a lot online and with Hobbycity I never purchase items they show low stock on.....what happens is they go to pick your order and possibly a few others ordered the same or maybe there count system is skewed for some reason.....BAM no stock and you sit in processing.....
I order from them on a Sunday night and on Thursday I have my package....
