Daithi O Buitigh Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This tracker is also handy for POS Malaysia. Unfortunately the POS Malaysia database is about the slowest thing on record - it never updates for ages (they never give any info until it's got to Kuala Lumpur so it can be some time before it turns up). 'Sent to' is another misnomer with them - that just means it's been cleared for forwarding and is probably sitting in a container waiting for a flight. To be honest, it will probably arrive while the tracker is saying it's still over there (oh and once it does get to England, it will vanish from tracking as Parcel Farce no longer give any tracking info) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks for that tracker. Still unable to find my parcel though. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willhappy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 hi kevin i have been looking at hobbyking uk to order some stuff but is the delivery like the globle shop, are they slow to deliver will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 willhappy HK UK delivery is basically as fast as Parcel Force is. You have the option of 24 or 48 hr delivery. HK claim they dispatch within one day so its 2 or 3 days (ish!). LiPo take a bit longer as they now have to use a courier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All order arrived within 2 days. The Items I have ordered from the Global warehouse are not available in the UK warehouse. If they did I would have had my parcel by now.

Daithi O Buitigh Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Elmslett delivers inside 48 hours (or 24 if you pay extra) from the time it leaves the warehouse. That presumes, of course that (a) it's in stock) and (b) you don't order at 5 pm on a Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 To track the item on the Malaysia POS site, you normally need to select "FlexiPack" That said the tracking is not very helpful! My betting is that your item will turn up around the 12th of August. [We could run a book on this!] I made an order last night that has been posted by my tracking number is not yet live.

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 UK warehouse is OK but not as quick as my favoured postal suppliers (e.g. Puffin, Electric Wingman, Model Fixings, Giant Fish of the Day etc.) who invariably ship the same day if ordered at a reasonable time. HK UK take a couple of days to work things through their systems (silly me on the first order opting for 24 hours when I needed something the next day) - even an order at 09.00 on a Monday wasn't posted until late on Tuesday afternoon. My own update? My 20th of May Air Mail order (received 25th by Malaysia Post) still appears to be in a dusty corner of a warehouse somewhere or bobbing about on a boat on the world's oceans but I did get an email from them asking for more package details after I contacted them a week or so ago...and HK have kindly opened an investigation but of course, omitted to give me any updates! Funnily enough, I'm not moaning about the missing parcel - these things happen - but I would appreciate a little more response to my (in my opinion) reasonable requests for information!

Tim Hilder Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 As mentioned on another thread, my order placed on 3rd June (not July!) arrived in the post today. Almost 2 months...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 You lucky so and so - my 20th of May order is still in limbo. PayPal not interested and despite being a "valued" platinum customer, HK have yet to make any comment to me on their "investigations"...

Tony Cooper Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 My package from the global site arrived yesterday it only took 62 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Ordered some stuff from UK site last night & had a look at my order history. 13 orders in total, 5 from Global of which 2 cancelled through Paypal. It is what it is! UK seems ok. If you order from Global be prepared to wait (and risk loosing the right to get your money back through paypal) Of the orders from Global not cancelled I not yet had one go missing or never delivered yet.

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Day 9 As I am off to Tibenham today, I will guess that no delivery will take place today. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daithi O Buitigh Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Doesn't that mean Murphy's Law kicks in and that's when you will get a delivery? Seriiously though, I don't think weekend deliveries are the forte of the Royal Snail anyway. And repeating myself yet again: Paypal cut-off for dispute is now 180 days and it has been since late June, so please, PLEASE stop with the 'claim after 44 days or lose protection' stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
