Discounts @ Hobbking

Thanks, I don't need any of those items just yet, but I'm sure someone will save a buck out of it.

HobbyKing are Ok - IF its in stock at your particular warehouse - IF not then its from the "global store" and that means more $$$ in shipping.
Being in Aussie.... I have found most of the good, must have items - are not in stock or on back order - which requires you to place the order and wait.
No quibble warranty - return an item for refund even if you just changed your mind!! - Item packaging etc, must basically be as you got it and if you ask to return you will be expected to pay the return shipping with insurance. When it received and checked you get 80% of the item cost only.. No shipping cost - coz you used it!
Receive a busted item....submit your claim and wait - a video clearly showing the problem will be required. You may then be offered a refund ( less your used shipping cost !) or a replacement.

Tip about the pop up added discount if you linger on a page and it happens - put it in your cart - it holds the price while you decide in full.... but if you were browsing and not logged in....log in and the item may not be in your cart - is what I found. I also found that most - if not all of the discount items, I tried were NOT in the Aussie store , maybe others in aussie had better luck.

Other than that, as StormMJ states - HK do throw out some good discount offers occasionally so you need to be quick to order.

I can agree that global is pretty terrible. Before I was experienced in buying I bought a lot of stuff for a build or so and paid a shipping fee over 100$ as I bought from international warehouse and then waited a month after that hahahaha. I live in the US so there were no import fees (in the US import gets charged to the sellers and we never know it is happening) so if your country charges you import on top of the ridiculous shipping charges you really don't want to order from the international warehouse.

HK East warehouse has managed to screw up two of the three orders from them and one I got someone else's package hahahaha. So if you are in the US you might order from US west because their East has been pretty good as messing orders up hahahaha And if you have amazon prime by all means use it. Things come faster and there are no shipping charges.
