I can see something like this here...

See how Hobby Kings 'Slave' members pounce at you if you flame them ... Such a pity other 'Free' members don't challenge them

I would request to people who share same opinion  to give some fitting reply to those paid henchmen,,,

One has to login with their ID to HobbyKing and then click the above link.

Ujjwaana, I am a lucky guy not buying from this chepo chinese, thanks to  members(akshayb and yourself to name a few) for opening my eyes.

I don't mind paying a little more for a good night's sleep.

LHSs are better stocked now

Better safe than sorry

Is there a way to track courier items after it has been released by customs?

In my case, items were release by customs on 01/Aug/2011 but still not received them?

Can i directly query the speedpost/post office? If so any pointers to the domlur post office. I think my parcel comes from there.

No worries dear friend!
Just wait for few more days!
I am sure your parcel will arrive within this week! 

Also, you cannot track after this stage!

hi all
 i have i.o.b. debit card .....
net banking can be done from this card.....
i want to purchase some accessories from hobby king........
but actually doesn,t know , how to order?
asked from customer care of h.k. , they just said without caring......
Use your Credit card........
plz tell me the procedure of ordering to hobbyking step by step.......
In previous attempt , my transaction failed , don,t know why?
they asked me many options....
what options to be selected?
even asked for my pin no...
although i gave them......
but transaction failed.....
and Rs. 1 deducted from my account....
thanks

NEVER EVER use your Debit Card for transactions over the net. If you don't have a credit card or if you don't want to use it, get in touch with someone trustworthy like Anam and he will get you whatever you want. He may charge you something extra, believe me, it is well worth it.

I have major debit and credit cards but I still leave it to Anam as far as ordering stuff from HK is concerned.

Peace of mind guaranteed!

Hi Aditya,

U can use any debit card directly with hobby king if it has

1) mastercard or visa logo
2) international transaction facility (meaning if it can be used in overseas ATMs)

if ur card satisfies above conditions then go to ur bank site or relevant (master or visa) verification site. register ur card with the service provider then only ur card will work. i also tried my BOI card without registering with mastercard it never worked. but then i contacted my bank any they told me to go with procedure. after getting my secure code i am able to use it anywhere on the net. and its somewhat safe as after the transaction it asks for the code. I hope it helps.


PS- Please refrain from using Debit card for online transactions if ur bank does not allow u to create a virtual card for online transaction. my other debit card (kotak mahindra) creates a virtual card for the amount everytime i wish to use so after using it no one else can misuse the same.

CrazyPilot, I hope that the point that I was trying to make is not lost amidst your helpful hints. You can but you SHOULD NOTuse your Debit Card over net transactions. After all we all use (majority of us) unsecured net connections. Would you REALLY advise the use of your Debit Card (your hard earned money) under these circumstances?

If your money is NOT hard earned, please ignore this post.............

Sir, whatever little money i have it very hard-earned.  I have duly edited my earlier post.

OFF TOPIC!!!

Sunday ka funda ..... 

.......Or register on PAYPAL easy and swift. Just login to Paypal and transaction is done. As experts said, avoid using debit card as CCs are safer and wont let your hard erned  fly  even by mistake.

in past , many modelers  used there debit card for payment.....
and successfully purchased from h.k. without any hassles.
that,s why , i also want to use my debit card.
and
don,t know about paypal.
can i link my bank account with paypal?
what is the procedure?
i have only debit card ,no credit card.
thanks

Got my biggest shipment from hk (all the f*v stuffs) not even a single item missed/defective

I have done over 40 payments to HK using PayPal and even more on e-bay. no hassles. In fact Paypal is the best way of paying HK. HK absorbs the PayPal commission.

Hi Guys
I ordered a motor and a servo form Praveen. As the motor was not in stock,he directly ordered it from Hobbyking and added my shipping address. Its almost 5 days the parcel is pending for custom clearance. Please help

Ur item is on its way.

Thanks a lot

I have selected to buy few HK items the total comes to around 2700 rs (converted from dollars) would this invite customs,duty ?

If your question was to know what if you order the items directly via HK, customs etc. then i suggest you should use forum search on top right with keywords like customs or hobbyking you shall get lot of info on it.
