Maybe it made it soon cos you may have ordered fast moving items, less volume and because it weighed less.

weight was less , and normally i never order heavy product or product with large volume.

What connector does the truinigy 2200mah 20C lipo come with? On hk a review said the 2200mah , 25,30 c etc come with xt60 while 20c comes with EC3 commector. On another site it said the 20c comes with XT60.

So which one does it come with?

My 2 orders showed the status as "Left Hong Kong for destination" in the morning but now when i check it says "processing for departure".  Anybody faced the same issue before??

On HK all Turnigy batteries come with XT60 Connector....
Except Transmitter or receiver batteries...

And I don't know about the other places that which connector they are supplying...

Thanks Sumeet.

Hi,

(Sorry...read below)

Alright, so I've ordered some stuff including a Turnigy 9x 2.4GHz and (no surprise) its got stuck in Delhi Customs. I got a letter from them today. I think the oversize box that HK packs the radio in got their attention. Anyway, what is the recommended plan of action? Will a letter from my Department in college (I'm in BITS-Pilani) help? What should the content of the letter be ("This is for research project work meant educational purposes, and has no commercial resale value" etc etc)?

The Customs letter asks for several supporting documents
-original bank attested documents/GATT documents
-import license/OGL documents
-importer's code
-certificate from competent authority
-other relevant documents
What do these mean?

2.4GHz is the ISM band which is actually license-free. I've read that 2.4GHz is a delicensed band

(search for 2.4GHz)
Do I take a printout of these documents as 'supporting documents'?

Now here is something new..i ordered a axn floater jet to be delivered at Delhi...i dont know why they have send it Mumbai FPO..why are they playing football with my parcel ?

Regards

Till now i ordered 8 parcel. All my parcel which is through registered airmail land in kolkata & then sent to trivandrum. But when i ordered my AXN floater which is through air parcel (same case as yours) it landed in mumbai(only this parcel all other landed in kolkata) & then sent to trivandrum. So what i am guessing is, larger parcels are sent to mumbai.


when did they started selling AXN floater for 30$ . what i suggest is for larger parcels like AXN floater(atleast 3 & 1/2 feet long) declare the correct value cos the possibility of attracting customs for such big parcels is very high & you would be informed to produce proper documents(you will get caught red handed)

Hi  azhaguvel

Thanks for your info..SO did they charge any custom duty on your AXN ? and also after how much days did you get the plane after it was sent by Mumbai FPO?


I had around $15 bonus points in my account...so it was a deal i couldnt resist   . I declared 80% of the value.

Regards
Ankur

Hey Guys

I am happy to announce that from now on Hobbyking will not mention "Toys" on its invoice. Check the thread on Hobbyking..this is for all shipping types.

Happy days ahead.

Oh I see Now...! I was trying to order some parts and while checking out, I select the toy parts in the drop down list and it results to payment failed.  It happened to me 4 times for the same order...
But in 5th try I select hobby parts in that list, the payment was approved after entering details of credit card etc.......

The moral of the story is: Don't declare your parcel under "Toy parts". Declare it as hobby parts...

Thank You Buddy!
 

Hi Sumeet

Please do post a screen shot of your customs invoice..so that we can see if the Word toys has been removed or not.

Buddy I checked! Both of my processing parcels have the "Made in China"/"Plastic toy parts"...
Any problem...?

Hi Sumeet

When did you place the order?
What are the contents?

Please post the invoice screenshot.

The First one was on 7/12/2010.
And the second one was on 10/12/2010.

Alright the invoice mod was done on 12 Dec and you ordered before that..i dont think your small packages will face any issues.
