Shipping Delays

About 4 months. And it was sent EMS but from the Chinese mainland which always seems to be a lot slower.

4 months! That's going to be tough to beat.

Another day passed. The post man has arrived but............... BUAAAAAAAAAAAAAA no one of the 7 untracked items, and the tracked one continues saying "was posted on 23 october".....


This is bad for a flashaholic............ I have the "mono"

22 days LT untracked. Fastest one 7 or 8 days (counting sunday) after placing order on DX.

LT usually takes a whole week more than dx. Based on about 5-6 orders.

At the moment KD orders seems to arrive faster than anything else.

Now that is a change from the old KD.

The founders of KD and DX used to run a store together Axshop if memory serves), then they split - this would have been 4-5 years ago.

OMG! ALELUUUYA!

The tracked item posted on 20 oct has left HK yesterday! If all goes as usual on this wednesday it will arrive to me house! (yes, tracked mail usually arrives in 5 NATURAL days after leaving HK)

Let´s see how performs the second AA-S1 and the 14500 ordered with it..... hope this second sample is as good as the one I received yesterday

Good for you fran. You've been waiting way too long.

Mine are still on hold from 23-25 cotober...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slk6zeM4Of8&amp;feature=related <- i suspect this is the usual package treatment. Anyone wonders why the bubblewrap packaging is like it has been through vietnam in times of war after arriving?

I bet that UPS guy got fired for the way he treated those boxes. Laughing

I always make a mistake....surprise myself for Christmas with some flashlight. I not learn after several years of experience with HKP, DX, KAI etc. Christmas season is s..ck! (and always will be worse)
HKP not grow up to the task....over several years

I have 3 registered airmail "on the way" yet:

1. The item (xxxx) was posted on 16-Nov-2010 .......
2. The item (xxxx) was posted on 18-Nov-2010 .......
3. The item (xxxx) was posted on 19-Nov-2010 .......
4. "packaging" on KD, so that's not the HKP "fault".

And what i read on HKP?!:

I hope my packages arrives before 2011.

Tracked parcels arrive to my house in 4 to 7 natural days after leaving HK. (Now, not leaving,,,,)

Untracked parcels arrive to my house in 10 to 30 natural days from shipping date. But i order rarely untracked parcels.

Another problem for me, that not one package arrive to customs addressed to me. Now landing 3-4-5 packages, at once.
If the packages arrives 2-3 days apart, i have better chance i don't must pay tax, becuse one package "as gift" and "lower value" scrape through customs. (Yes, those damn EU customs laws + my country regulation) All packages outside from EU.........

With this HKP delays, i will gained new customs experiences.
What can we do?! Waiting....waiting...and pray:o)

Sorry for bad english!

Destination - Australia

The item (RT072436461HK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 20-Nov-2010

Ordered 7-10-2010

Holly smoke HK post is slow !

I am still waiting an un-tracked item shipped on 19 SEPTEMBER!!!!!! and another untracked item shipped on 11 october.......

Lol!

My orders from around 12 september finally departed from HK post as of 20 of november! They were marked as posted 27, 28, and 29 oct. Usually it takes up to 8 days from confirmed departure to me.

I noticed, that those packages which tracking number begin RB leave Hongkong faster after posting date.
Which begin with RT (typically DX) are still "was posted on.."
I don't know what that means, but i have now five package "on way" and only those DX packages are still at HKP.
Possible this "RT-RB thing" may not mean anything.


Some update:
1. The item (RT...) was posted on 16-Nov-2010 from DX /ordered on 11/11/2010)
2. The item (RB...) left Hongkong on 21-Nov-2010 from ITC-Shop /ordered on 12/11/2010, posted on 18/11/2010)
3. The item (RT...) was posted on 19-Nov-2010 from DX /ordered on 11/11/2010)
4. The item (RB...) will leave Hongkong on 26-Nov-2010 from KAI /ordered 11/11/2010, posted on 21/11/2010)
5. The item (RB...) will leave Hongkong on 26-Nov-2010 from "another online store" /ordered 19/11/2010, posted on 20/11/2010)


As you see, on 21/10/2010 was a flight to my country. But only "non DX" packages are on this flight.

The formerly ordered packages still not have a date when will leave Hongkong.

Interesting...

Maybe DX don't pay to HKP?! Maybe DX posting so many packages/day, (Christmas season) that HKP realy have not enough capacity?! I do not think so, but it would be nice to know.
Or this thing is a fortuitous......

From 4. Nov. are 500 post on DX forum about this "thing"
I'm not against DX! I was always satisfied with DX! I don't want make panic mood! But, all is not well between HKP and DX, in my opinion.


Ohh those lucky days when i ordered something from DX and i received after a couple days. The fastest was in this year. Ordered on 06/07/2010, posted on 08/07/2010, left Hongkong 10/07/2010, and after 4 days on my letter-box.

Now, waiting, waiting, pray!:o) (Sorry for the long wailing post!)

Had item ordered from KD the 5th of november. Shipped the 11th and arrived here at my door in

Europe to day the 22nd. Not bad at all. The normal 3 weeks from HK I would say!

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my missing orders, in this case, the one shipped on 19 SEPTEMBER arrived just now!!!!


Oh My God! This is fast shipping!

At last!

At least it got there in the end!

Hope it was worth waiting for.

I'm impressed of Kaidoman. Had 4 deliveries.

time from order to arrival: 11, 11, 16, 14 days

(arrival dates nov. 3, 11, 22, 22).

That's because they don't lie with the shipping date as others do.

Received yesterday some untracked stuff from an ebay's seller, 30 days from shipping date, usually 12-15 to my home, registered last 6-8 from 'left' notice.

I'm waiting my first two purchases from FP surprisingly shipped both in 24 hrs, the bad news this was almost 45 days ago, ha ha

Received some days ago in 'normal' timing a torch from the much hated here Neverbuy, a ZY-C84 Q5 which appear to hold the real stuff, much brighter than one bought before at half the current. After reading the comments here just ban that seller from my list.

As a side note I think most sellers are good enough before the first problem arise, doa, not received and such, the good ones are the ones who past that issue with decency.
