Can anyone explain to me why items sent from Hobbyking through CP nearly always arrive within a couple of weeks, and items sent from DHgate-sellers through CP NEVER arrive within a MONTH? It is ridiculously how long it takes to arrive from China, HK or Singapore. And often items get completely lost from DHgate sellers.
Tracking is a mess too! Sometimes you can actually see what is happening, but most of the time you see no movement for many weeks.
For instance this one:
RB757638718CN 2013 Departure from China 51805300 NL 20131011 0735

Departed for The Netherlands on 11th of October and since then missing. Nearly a month now! PostNL has not received it, so I guess I missed the news of a China Post airliner crashing down into the ocean somewhere. BTW I ordered that item on DHgate on the 26th of September!
So after dealing with that site for about 6 months now, I've come to the conclusion that its not worth the frustration of buying stuff in China. You can better buy things locally in Europe and pay a little bit more and have it arrive within a week. Or find companies that give a shit about their customers, like Hobbyking!
