this is getting ridiculous now, the batts were marked as dispatched on 18th of December, on the 24th of December I ordered a mod, both items were marked as dispatched by the same postage the mod arrived this morning (having been dispatched a week later than the batts) the bats are still somewhere en route... wanna bet they don't arrive until after the half dozen or so other items I ordered direct from china on the 2nd of jan do ?

What shipping company/s were used and did the Mod have a built in battery? . My own preferences when given a choice are China Post then Singapore Post and thirdly Netherlands post. I've never bought any batteries from China so can't comment on that

[nanotm]

well both orders say dispatched via surface mail and start with the same 4 digit code, one claims to have bene dispatched on the 18th of dec and the other on the 28th of December, and no the mod doesn't have any bats, hopefully those will show up before the crius or tfv4 tanks do though otherwise I wont have anything to put them on ....(btw the mod is the koopor plus 200w in black which looks decent and feels well made)

[sydsut]

I'm surprised they say they shipped the mod via surface mail as it doesn't have batteries. As you got it quickly I suspect the mod was actually airmail though. But which company was it.

[nanotm]

according tothe tracking info it was Sweden surface mail sydsut

Buying batteries from China ALWAYS takes ages. It's only the 7th now, and they were dispatched on the 18th? Over the holidays? I wouldn't be expecting them until the end of the month personally.

I ordered batteries from FT on Christmas eve, and I wont be beginning to worry about them until at least February.

The batteries will be coming surface mail whereas your mod would have come airmail, expect the batteries in about a weeks time.

There is no way that a surface mail item would have come that quick, are you sure the mod wasn't from the EU warehouse?

ahh now I hadn't thought of that being the reason for the time difference .....but I'm pretty sure the koopor plus was only listed as being at the Chinese warehouse /

Mine have arrived. The usual little bit of bubblewrap around them but I'm happy they've turned up.

[yourgurnard]

Am I the only one left still waiting?..............

[violetblade]

Nope I'm still waiting too mine were posted on the 18th I think most of the people who have already got theirs were the ones sent out on the 11th so hopefully this week maybe start of next week

[pj1967]

I'm waiting to

[Q]

And me

[nanotm]

mine are still missing somewhere in the postal system ...... although if they were coming via the hayes depot then its a good chance that place is actually to blame, several other items have sat in that place for over two weeks they keep posting updates as processing or sorting or awaiting collection but nothing seems to be moving out .....

[amygx]

I'm still waiting for these and a previous gearbest order I placed and was dispatched on the 5th December. Strangely my fasttech orders placed on the 14th Dec have arrived this morning before the gearbest ones, don't they use the same mail service?

These are my first orders with gearbest and I'm losing faith in them already.

Depends what you ordered amygx and which depot, this thread is talking about batteries, they are sent (by Gearbest) surface mail, which obviously takes longer, sent on 18th December should be arriving quite soon
