HK and China post get the blame for a lot of things they are not responsible for so you are not alone , Royal Mail and Parcel Force in the UK are just as bad.
I had 2 lipos sat somewhere in the UK for 2 yes TWO years !

RC084773404HK is valid on hongkongpost.com. It says:

Outward Registered Letter

Destination - United States of America

The item (RC084773404HK) arrived at Hong Kong or its destination country on 30-Jun-2012.

It should be in the States since June 30.

Were they actually delivered to you after 2 years?

It's like in the movies, hiding some secrets for the future in a delayed mail.

Even email can be bad: I once received an email several MONTHS after it was sent.

For those of you who receive the later version boxes, or if your box arrived as damaged as mine did, this is a great fix to not having a carrying case. Available at harbor freight.

HK still hasn't shipped out the 9X five days after order and reservation. And I am still waiting for 2 other orders from HK made at the end of June to arrive. HK is doing worse than sellers from mainland China lately.

V929 from BG arrived today together with the 2 old orders from HK. The 9x from HK is still not shipped. Their packing bots must be on sick leave or on strike.

The V929 is shipped in a styrofoam box without the original packing. I got the correct colour of canopy but the wrong plug on the charger.

I have an ebay plug adaptor and I probably would change out the battery connectors later on so that it can share my existing batteries and chargers. Hence the wrong plug on the charger is not a big issue.

Great!

Mine arrived on the 16th ordered it on the 27th of June not bad considering it came all the way from China(Banggood). Learning slowly to bank turn at 40 and 60% no heavy crashes yet. Fun!Fun!Fun! Looking forward to the V939 or the Pet.

Arrrghh!! Ordered mine on the 26th of June, got it today. Unpacked it, only to realize that they didn't send a battery! It's one of the repack versions where it's all disassembled and in a styrofoam container....

Guess I figure out how good Banggood customer service is. Sheesh, I hope I don't have to wait another 1/2 month to fly this thing

(just in case you are looking for a quick alternative ...)

That sucks. Good thing is, you'll need more batteries anyways, so place an order for those. In fact, it uses the same battery as Blade 120SR so there should be plenty of options.

Because I have one battery myself, I created a parallel cable and hook up two of my 150mah. Gives me 5 min of flight. And it sits in the bottom of the battery cage, held securely in place by a simple rubberband. Almost like it was made like that.

Just noticed my old HobbyKing shipping history:

It's quite amusing to see the first stop of the journey from Hong Kong is Singapore (where I stay). It could have been delivered but the stuff set sail to Switzerland. Then came all the way back to Singapore again. Wow. It took 2 days for Swiss Post to send the items from HK to SG but the entire route to Switzerland and back took 2+ weeks.

If you have Li-Po in your order, HK would send it through SwissPost. Then it has to go through Switzerland even if the item is sent to the house next door. It is slow.

Hmm, I see. The waiting game begins again for me...

Yeah the lipos were actually delivered after 2 years and are working fine lol

Wanted to make you guys aware. Over on the v911 Deals tracking thread, Aaron said the are relocating warehouse and so orders may see a delay in when they get shipped out. I'd go order from one of the AliExpress dealers for the time being.
