HLJ wake up!!

[DiGiTaLEcLiPsE]

I put an order in a little time after Christmas and it still hasn't arrived.. But they just shipped out 6 days ago.. So I guess it should be here soon..

Hmmm...i haven't really had a major problem with HLJ. They've been OK as far as I'm concerned. Sometimes when you order stuff that's in stock, they may have just run out and have not have updated their website yet, so they put it on backorder.

I bet they are still recovering from the long Christmas break they took especially as everybody is probably spending their Christmas pressie money.

It's been a week.. so I am guessing it should be here soon..

SAL is definitely not for you if you're impatient. Spring for EMS. Guaranteed 2-3 days.

if I ever have to order from HLJ again, I will do that.

still not here. who the hell even delivers SAL packages in the US anyways? I don't even know who to look out for

from the website:
"SAL: 7-30 days"

"...please do not contact us about your package being delayed until at least double the maximum amount of time shown above has passed."

2 months??

I understand HLJ isn't really responsible and I hold no ill feeling except for the super-long time it takes them to process an order.
My package must be getting raped by customs. I can't blame them for gettin excited over those sexy pictures of the cars on the box...

SAL comes via the post office just like the rest of your mail. My order shipped on 1/21, after sitting a week "processing". Will be interesting to see when it arrives.

WHY SO LONG!!

believe or not, but my recent replacement parcel sent by HLJ was lost for 50days, I am waiting for the minimum of 60days for SAL to file a loss......

this is the reason for the replacement:

Not to keep on the HLJ-bashing, but is it just me or do HLJ packages always comes slightly crushed or dented? Nothing as bad as Joe's above. I order a lot of stuff from Japan (models, magazines, DVD's, etc), from various vendors, 99% of it sent by SAL, and only HLJ's boxes come banged up. Strange.

Exactly It happens to me too.

HLJ must have been a bad ass all over the world.

Shipments made by SAL have not set time for arrivial. Sal stands for Surface Air Lift. The package goes ground to the airport where it flies "standby" (whenever we have empty space in the aircraft) and when it arrives in the destination it is also treated as a ground package.
EMS on the other hand is priority air from start to finish.
