I just placed my first order ever with HLJ and was wondering what is the average transit time for an order when shipped to the U.S. via SAL? I'm assuming it's 2-3 weeks...correct me if I'm wrong.

THat's funny, I just placed in an order too.

But I chose EMS just wanted to be more sure and plus shipping is faster.

But the prices for EMS is like sometimes more than double SAL.

What did you order?

After seeing the Garage MAK silvia I had to buy it! :biggrin:
I also bought Kranze Shoki set of wheels. EMS shipping cost almost as much as my order! :bloated: But I had to. I feel safer with EMS even though it hurts my wallet. For those 2 items it cost me $52 USD.
Shipping was probably 22 USD.

Saddening though the AVS model 5's are out of stock. :frown:
I also wanted some 19" equip 5 spokes but they too are out of stock. :frown:

EMS shipping is incredibly expensive, and SAL shipping is incredibly slow... :icon16:

same here, someone pointed out that garage mak silvia on this board (thanks again!) and I went straight to HLJ and ordred it. everytime I order and think Im done for a while, I wind up placing another order because I just can't help myself. the change from UPS to SAL is a bad one IMO though. I don't have a problem I don't make a change. I liked UPS, my orders always arrived promptly. oh well

Bah Humbug.....I just ordered a bunch of upgrade stuff for the Enzo, a couple sets of rims and the Tamiya William FW24. I'm not in a big rush for the stuff but it would suck to wait over a month for the package to arrive.

I just received my first order from HLJ. I ordered the IN STOCK items on the 25th of june...and got the order on the 5th of july. So it took about 10 days using SAL. Hope this helps.

I just received my order today.

I'm from Canada and it took 29 days to receive by SAL (over 1 month since I ordered and everything was in stock)

Price of my order was 73$CND and I payd 16$ of custom/dutty fees.

This brings up a good point... Is everyone that's waiting very long for HLJ shipments ordering in stock items, or is the delay due to low inventory or backorders? I don't mind the long wait for backorders and low stock but, if they request payment and I send a Paypal or credit card funds it usually arrives in two weeks or 10 business day.

for me it took 30 days after they actually ship. 6 day to proceed my order (everything was in stock)

You wanna know why? 'Cause some people buy 10 - 20 sets of one wheel. IMO that is absolutely sick. 3 sets would also be enough.

Just recieved my first HLJ order shipped via SAL, it arrived in perfect condition about three weeks after I got the shipping notice. :smile:

processing time for all in-stock items -

7/3/03 - place order (all items bold in stock)

7/22/03 - shipping notice

8/1/03 - arrival of package via USPS

my original thought was to pay extra for EMS shipping, which i've used many times from JP with great success - it's VERY fast - 2-3 days. but, if you look, they took the most time to process the order, not ship.

i guess they're backed up?

i remember seeing a post where a guy bought like a dozen boxes of the same wheels - maybe over 100 boxes total. why would one want a dozen sets of the same wheel design? just curious...

My recent order was placed on July 20th, and it was shipped on July 30th, and arrived at Kansas USA on Aug. 2nd by EMS.
Process time is 10 days, which is rather too long for a mail order firm, I think.
Depending on the weight, EMS is actually cheaper than SAL. (up to 1.75 kg, actually.)

I finally got a shipping notification for my order that I placed back on the last week in June. I still find this process much slower than when they used UPS. My order broke down like this:

8 model kits, 5 Subaru WRC2002 Transporter Set, 7 Fujimi wheel/tire sets, and 1 New Impreza STi Perfect Guide= 31650Yen/$263.86US + EMS Freight= 11800Yen/$98.37US

Grand total 43450Yen/$362.28US

I'm actually happy I chose EMS since I hate waiting so long after a shipping notification to receive my orders. We'll see in a couple days if it was all worth it.

Well, the package is here. Not bad at all with EMS, they notified me Tuesday and I got it today. Ship cost is still rather expensive.
