So there you have it, express from HongKong was faster than UK or Germany for that matter. The delivery from Germany wont probably arrive until monday, as there has been no update to the tracker. The UK order will arrive today I suppose as of 12:40am I have yet to receive anything from them. :rolleyes:

=== UPDATE 23/09/2012 ===
All items delivered excluding the one from Germany which is going to arrive Monday 24th.

Has their shipping generally been reasonably fast to Ireland?
Ordered 3 quadcopter batteries from them a couple of days ago and stuck with only 1 until they arrive.

From the UK 1 week. e.g. 5 working days, see my post above it tells you how long each item took with standard delivery.

Doing some browsing on the HK site, noticed shipping from the Netherlands warehouse to ireland works out around half of the UK shipping cost.
Might come in handy.

Yea I had to get a few parts for the tractor project. Dearer from UK than hong kong. Faster though, when in a hurry.

i ordered a few lipos from HK on march 3rd and they still havent arrived. even used the UK warehouse !!
it says they are being sent parcel force from the UK to here ,so those of you who have used HK can you tell me , who handles the delivery once in Ireland?

didnt realise the order would take this long to reach me

BTW, all i have is an order number, is there a way for me to track this order online ?
thanks in advance

I have received a few orders from the uk warehouse all arrive two days after I get dispatched email.On your order page on hobbyking you should have a tracking number beside your order id something like "EK123456789GB" which you can on www.parcelforce.com/.

I would contact them aswell it defiantly shouldn't take this long to arrive

eirlink

thanks
ive now tracked it don and its held in the depot here in ireland by the " delivery agent"
i wonder do you know which courier handles this ?
many thanks , youve been very helpful

Its Parcel force ring them because sometimes when they make a deliver they ring you and if you don't answer them they will bring the package back to the depot.
