Hobbyking online

[Guest]

After asking about lipos i was told about hobbyking so i am there 2lipos set of rotor blades and some connectors in the basket.
I am at a page where its asking me what value i want to declare to customs 10% right up to 100% of value so i ask you guys as some of you have ordered of them before how much should i declare i want to do 10% obviously but if it gos missing can i only claim 10% of the value .
Your input much appreciated.
Thanks david.

Cos then you are taking the gamble and if you get caught they say you told them to put that value down.

i think i normanly set it as 30-40%, and take the risk, never had a issue, bar a customs charge on my TZ frenzy kit

[Guest]

Yeah its set to 30% default but if it goes walkabout can i still claim the full value of the package or is it a gamble to get em cheap

[Guest]

Ordeard them and left it at 30%.
£38 for two ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 20C lipos a set of TIG 325mm Carbon Fiber Blade and EC3 plugs (10pairs/set) and that includes the postage :)

Hi
Never even realised there were options for declared value. always left it at default value, and never had a problem ( touch wood)

if i remember correctly it was just over 3 weeks, it was running up to chistmas and there were postal problems in HK at the time.

So two or three weeks do you get tracking numbers i know its registered post.

You get a tracking number. I've always paid for EMS delivery and orders usually arrive in 4-5 days, longest has been a week but with current difficulties I'd expect longer.

Hi all

Placed an order with Hobbyking on 11th. Same day, I received E-mail confirmation of my order, and my payment had been approved.
On the 13th, I received an e-mail saying my goods had been packed and were ready for despatch.
On the 14th, another e-mail that my goods had been despatched, with a tracking number.
Parcel arrived this morning, 20th, only 6 days from despatch.
Given this was by airmail, not any express method, I have to say this is first class service. Have placed several orders with this company, and with the same result.
Highly recommended.

Cheers

Jeff

I have used hobby king, very good site, delivery slow though. very cheap though.

So HobbyKing get a good write-up from you guys then. Might try them instead of my usual Honk Kong ebay outlets next time I order budget LiPos, Electric Ducted Fans, ESCs etc.

Any early feedback on which of their budget LiPos do well in TREX 500s or 600Es ?
