Importing...again...

[snuff]

My m8 has ordered a RiF from the hong of kong,I've never used the company myself and I've never ordered a RiF from overseas anyway,I've ordered plenty of kit though.
I digress.....he ordered it about 5 days ago and immediately got a confirmation but he has heard nothing else since..should he start worrying?
I can only find good reviews about an Asian hobby shop..Cheers...

Re: Importing...again...

Check their shipping procedure, I ordered something from HK, it was meant to be posted within 48-72 hours, 5 working days later it has still not been posted,

It wouldn't be the first time the site I bought off (not the asian hobby shop) are slack about posting items.

So anyway, I emailed them, demanding they post out my item Monday, or i'll open a paypal dispute, It may seem like overreacting, and giving them time may result in it getting posted eventually, but a retailer should keep to their promises.

Sometimes these companies need a little kick in the rear to get things moving.

And to this:

I think the problem is, its not been dispatched after 5 days. Not that is hasn't arrived after 5 days.

Edit: I have had a bad experience of waiting months for something from that shop, gave up and got a refund via paypal in the end. Wasn't a gun though

Yes.

Basically, find out their processing time and ask why it has not been processed yet.

The mountain can be pretty pants as well. I mean, not always, but the only one I havent had a problem with is R***.
