Default HELP !!!!!!! HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH HOBBY KING

Hi i ordered 6 turnigy 7.4v lipos from hobby king,i got email saying they have been shipped via ems as i requested and supplied myself with tracking number.I checked hong kong post for parcel location with my tracking number and no info was displayed.I emailed hobby king in regards to this and they said there tracking and parcel delivery is behind atm and to wait 48hrs for an update.Well its been over a week now and now item arrived and tracking info still not comming up.Please help as i dont know what to do im feeling massively ripped off.

Have you checked USPS tracking to see if its cleared customs and been given to them?

Tracking is not 100% reliable!

It is hard for me to trust hobby king as i have recieved other items from hong kong that were shipped by another company the same time as hobby king shipped theirs.

ya thats why the first time i bought something it was just something cheap. i understand your concern. it took them like 1 1/2 weeks after it said it left hong kong for it to get to me in the US. hopefully it will get their soon.

I really doubt HK is trying to pull something, just give it some more time and it'll show up.

Has anyone else had any problems with HobbyKing? I am thinking about ordering something from them and this thread is giving me concerns.

Give them some more time. I ordered one of the same bats you did. I was also a little worried about the shipping because I had no tracking info either. If they were still back ordered give them anouther week or two but it will come and you will not even know because of there tracking system. Just give it a little more time and they will be there!!! it took about a two and a half weeks from order to delivery for me in Wisconsin

it depens on how you shipped your order and if it was in stock sometimes it can take up to 10 days, sometimes longer I have been ordering from them for about 4 years now and never got ripped by them so dont panic its on its way.

i didn't had problem with HK before (turnigy charger)... but if you paid for your items via PAYPAL, I suggest that you file it for dispute (items not received/sent).

PAYPAL is strict about these, and they (HK) will surely respond to you immediately.

Also advised HK that since they have not sent the items yet, you have filed for a refund so that they'll be aware.
