Thats really unlucky mate - must be that they were actually out of stock in the uk warehouse so had to send from HK. I would take it up with them (how successful this would be I don't know!)
My own views on Hobbyking are mixed - when they work, they are excellent, but when they don't its a disaster. Prices are unbeleivable but I will only order from the UK website (logging in first!), UK warehouse and for items listed as "in stock", items out of stock or only available from HK aren't worth the risk.
For spares I will always use back any of the UK model shops but for electrics I will take the risk for Hobbyking as LHS prices are way too much for me to justify paying for extra piece of mind especially on good lipos and speed controllers.
