Any aussies having same problem?

Hey,

Any other australians who have ordered from HLJ, are you guys waiting a long time for you orders?? this i by SAL i mean. Its been 22 days and stil nothing has come. Any1 else who has bought by SAL from HLJ had the same problem recently or in the past?

Read back through some of the previous threads (including one in the last weeks) about HLJ and how their shipping works, all your questions will be answered.

My order from R10 was shipped on Nov. 22, and I received notification that it's arrived at the post office yesterday. The order I made not too long before that arrived in 8 days, and both were shipped SAL. It's that "slow shipping times" season again, I'm afraid.

i ordered somekits from HLJ on the 29th of Nov, so im guessing it wil take about a month to arrive?? bout 30 days?, similar to the time you are getn aswel!

COME YOU STUPID KITS! lol, sorry i have no kits to work on...6 on their way from diff sellers!! hurry up!

oh any aussies looking for a good deal on model kits, brand new! go to this link http://www.spc.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3909

I bought 3 kits, Mugen NSX, Calsonic r32, trueno ae86 and workmeister 19" shipped for $65 aus dollars. About $45 american and bout $25 pounds!! One of the best bargains ever, Considering when 1 kit is usually about 40 dollars! He does ship to other countries but he is preffering aussies.

I've been ordering from HLJ for a few years now and at Christmas the delivery time can double due to the amount of mail.
Don't panic, it always get here!

I think things are just bloody slow at the moment, I've got a kit coming by EMS, its taken 2 days to get from the post office in japan to being sent through customs. I was hoping I would get it before christmas, but that doesn't look likely. Oh well can't complain i guess, i've got plenty to keep me busy.

haha i dont have anythn to do :( thats why im angry lol. Pls something come!! i have also got three 3 kits comn from outer state so there guna be here today or tmoz:)

It may or may not be a problem with Christmas. I have had problems with slow HLJ deliveries in both Aus and the UK. I have also had at least one delviery never make it in both countries. I think I have about one in five HLJ delvieries get badly delayed - I think my record was about 11 weeks to Aus for an order where everything was listed as in stock! However all missing deliveries have been replaced without a problem, so I cannot complain about HLJ too much.

To be honest, whenever possible I order from MediaMix now. Prices are similar, and I ALWAYS get my order within 5 working days, even with the 'slow' (i.e. cheaper) shipping option.

It took a month after shipping for me to get one of my kits from HLJ, and I'm westcoast USA.

Actually ended up getting my kit this morning. Woohoo another present for me to put under the tree! As for the cost, the postage for the 1/12 kit was 2800yen, so about $31. Well worth it to not have to wait and take the risk of it getting lost.
