why does it take so long

[Big G]

to get things from HK takes like 2-3 weeks
to get things from USA takes 2-3 days

Odd, I've always found it the other way round, stuff from HK or Japan comes quicker then a lot of stuff from this country, stuff I've ordered from the States, takes so long, I've almost forgoten I've bought it.

sometimes I've found the same. I just find it strange I order a single lipo and it takes 3 weeks from HK. do they drive to the UK lol

I,ve had stuff recently from HK in less than a week. I cant think of anything I,ve ordered from there that has taken longer than 10 days but that was stated in the delivery terms. Maybe you get yours personally delivered by Rik Shaw

i have found that the items stay sat around on the shelfs for a few days after its bought and my most recent item has been sat with hk post for 5 days now waiting to be processed. add a 2 day stop over in uk customs and then hey presto 3 weeks later you get the item.

on the other hand tho i have saved well over £200 getting things from hk and for that i can wait a week or 2

I ordered two lipos from HK late at night a week last Tuesday after our 8 minute final. I thought I'd have to wait a long time as the planes were only just getting going after this volcano business, but they turned up last Tuesday in time for racing!
