I placed an order for some zippy Lipo's from Hobbycity over a week a go, my order still shows 'Processing'
They have plenty of stock but dont seem to answer emails very quicky.
I know its Chinese New Year but anyone know if they usually ship items quite fast?

Shipping and attentant enthusiasm for HC varies from 'Wow, that was great!' to 'Miserable s%^ts, I've been waiting 2 months'. I've been in both categories. If ONE thing is OOS, you are screwed. I'm VERY careful what I order now. Even low stock numbers are not safe.
Answer email? You've got to be kidding.

Its funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing yesterday, then I saw they shipped my stuff. It has taken an extra week and I think it's due to the New Year holiday, which is the largest pilgrimage in the world( just saw a program on CBC) back to the peoples (factory workers) home towns. Things will probably get back to normal pretty soon.

I must admit it was not in any holiday periods. |

That about sums it up. I've ordered stuff from them and gotten it all, eventually. Best delivery in 10 days and longest in 3 weeks (never tried EMS and if it's out of stock then I've learned to not order it 'cause they'll hold up shipping the entire order until it's back in stock)

ems shipping is amazing, i don't know how they can ship half way across the world and clear customs in 3 days, but im not complaining. air mail is about a week for me and registered air mail is about two weeks.

Badlands,
For UK speedy shipping you can try birminghammodelcentre.co.uk I ordered a pair of pushrods from them on Monday afternoon, amazingly, the posty had em for me on Tuesday morning! They also don't charge ridiculous postage, £1.30 for those. Some UK sites were quoting £5 for 1st class!

My HC order has just changed to Shipped.
