I'm a newbie and after reading all the stuff about people's problems with Hobby King orders and everything I've been very hesitant to order anything from them. Two golden rules seemed to always come up.
After a lot of back and forth I decided to give Hobby King a chance. I figured I'd keep it simple for my first order. I ordered my very first transmitter, an OrangeRX T-Six (mode 2) and two HXT900 servos on May 17th. Both items 'In Stock' from the US warehouse. $73.29 + $14.37 USPS shipping to Ohio.
Days went by and nothing happened and then the order was 'Printed' to be pulled from the warehouse and finally on May 28th it was 'Shipped'
On May 29th USPS showed it had "Depart USPS Sort Facility FEDERAL WAY, WA with a Expected Delivery By:
June 4."
So I've been anxiously waiting for my first RC gear to arrive and.... nothing.
Now USPS is showing :
Processed at USPS Origin Sort Facility
June 6, 2013, 12:54 am
FEDERAL WAY, WA 98003
It went back to Washington? I even checked the address in the Hobby King custom's invoice and it has my correct address. I'm going to take the USPS tracking info to my post office today and see if they have any answers.
Does it usually take Hobby King this long to ship two 'In Stock' items from the US warehouse?
Has anyone else had issues like this with USPS with their Hobby King orders?
- Buy from the US warehouse
- Only order 'In Stock' items
