How long does it take United Hobbies/HobbyCity to ship?

[myp]

I order a couple of in stock items (there were over a hundred in stock when I ordered) from HobbyCity 4 days ago and my order is still listed as "processing/waiting to be printed". What is your experience as to the amount of time it takes them to ship items that are in stock?
thanks,
mike

It varies constantly. I think they are getting real busy right now because everyone is trying to get their orders in before the shutdown(Chinese New Year) coming up next month. I placed my latest order on the 20th with all in-stock items; it's still being processed after 4 days.

mine have all been 3-40 hours for shipping in the past month. *shrug* I'll make another order tonight, you know, just to see :D

7 Days to process and ship and another 5 to 7 days to get to the US on my last order.

My experience has been they hold the record both ways Fastest Shipper AND Slowest Shipper :D

Assuming no back orders, as little as 7 days from order to delivery and as slow as 3 weeks. Typically it's about 15 days.

Add in back orders and the time can easily go to 2+ months....

Order place on 1-3-08, arrived today.

Another order, placed on 1-10-08, arrived with it.

Another order placed on 1-17-08, still waiting to be printed.

All items were in stock. No PayPal problems.

An order with one of their many competitors in HongKong, placed on 1-19-08 arrived today as well!

Order placed 6th January received today. That would be about the average time for my last three orders.

I only order if items are shown to be in stock.
