Order from HK- Help appreciated

09-12-2014 7:48pm#1Hey guys
So recently (2 weeks ago), I went and ordered some bits from the site: http://store.specwarfare.com/en/contactus
I know, I know, "don't order from China, its a bad idea, local only." I've heard it before, but personally I like ordering overseas, as the items I need aren't in Ireland, plus I've had a bit of a bad experience with some orders in Ireland.
Basically, after purchasing through PayPal, the store contacted me exactly 2 weeks ago to tell me my order had been shipped. I paid extra for Speed post, as I wanted to see my new build finished by Christmas at least. Now last time I ordered from this site, I received my package within a couple of days.
However, the tracking number which I got doesn't show up on the HKPost website, and after 2 weeks I'm getting slightly irritated. I'm probably overreacting, but 2 weeks with no contact, having paid extra for a speedy transit, it sounds a bit odd to me..... I've emailed the site but have no reply at the moment.
Should my package arrive in say a week or more, and customs haven't touched it, would PayPal be able to reimburse me the extra I paid for speed post? As clearly it doesn't seem to be sent through that.
Are HKPost notoriously unreliable for tracking their items?
Thanks guys, any pointers would be great.
Am I just impatient?
Also, I posted this in the Airsoft section, as I'm sure a few of you have had similar problems at some stage.0

Hey guys
Thanks for the replies, the carrier is HKPost, and each site I use to trace it just links back to their homepage, so it's the same thing really.
I was thinking it could be in customs, do they have a habit of not telling you anything about it? It's the fact that the actual postage service don't seem to know where my parcel is that worries me.
I suppose this is the price to pay for cheap goods

Yeah I just received my parcel, was happy that it was so quick to actually get to me. BUT:
Only half my items ordered were in the parcel..... I only received one tracking number and was still charged for the lot (quite a substantial amount, too)
Anyone have ideas? I'll try ring the shop, but I'm afraid of spending 20eur just calling them
If nothing comes of it, I'll see what paypal can do for me.0 -

Yeah I opened the dispute today. Hopefully it'll work out for me.
I put down a refund as an option, in case the items I ordered are out of stock and they didn't tell me.
The missing parts are just a stock and an outer barrel, but they're quite pricey pieces, hence my need for a refund or better yet, actually receive them
Will update the thread accordingly.
Thanks for the help d.one0 -

No bother buddy ,my pleasure 😊0 -
Just woke up to a good bit of extra money sitting in my account.
It seems they refunded me straight away, I suspect that the parts I ordered went out of stock without them telling me.
You gotta love PayPal sometimes
Now to order the exact same stuff from an Irish retailer for twice the price
I'm not even sure if they have it though.
Thanks again guys for your help, it was nice to be guided through it.0 -
