Question for those who ordered HID's...

[milesyboy1]

Hi, Can anyone tell me how long their HID's took to be delivered from Mydepots? I ordered mine on the 28th Feb and I'm still waiting for them . Thought they might have turned up by now but wasn't sure if i'm just being impatient.
Thanks in advance, Miles

10 days is the average time. Don't forget Chinese New Year has cropped up in the mean time so all production lines and shipping grind to a halt.

Have you dropped them an email yet? Or have you checked the EMS website to track your parcel with the tracking number you were given when you received your confirmation?

 

[milesyboy1]

Was gonna check the average time with the guys who have received them before putting my letter writing hat on. Anyway, been checking with EMS and I didn't think it was working because always displayed '???????????' when entering the code, however, just looked now and it seems it's been dispatched from Shanghai - any rough guesses of how long it takes from this point on?
Thanks again, Miles

i'm still waiting for mine. ordered 13 days ago.

as Rob says it was Chinese NY, so i'm not worried.

tracking info still hasn't been updated though

 

[RobM]

I have to admit, the EMS website is beyond useless!

 

[Wackojacko]

I wound't worry at all, they just take a little while to arrive in the country, for your info the english side is opperated by Parcelforce.

parcelforce?! oh no

if the package gets hit by customs, then parcel force charge £13.50 'handling' fee

here's hoping it gets through

 

[RobM]

My HID's arrived as a 'gift' with a declared value of a few pound, so customs didn't take much interest

Don't know if that's the same for everybody though?

 

[Arnolfini]

Yeah - both the HID kits I ordered were declared as gifts too, so no nasty customs charges on either of them

Mine took about 5 days once they'd left China...it'll tell you on the EMS tracker once it's left Customs...and if you get a PF at then end of the notation then it's with Parcel Force.

parcelforce?! oh no

Mine too were labelled Gift with total value of 29.99 I think from memory.

Check RobM's fitting guide in the sticky at the top...TOTALLY INVALUABLE!

 

[milesyboy1]

Cheers guys some reassuring words there. I asked for mine to be marked as a gift but didn't declare a lower price. I seen the sticky of how to fit and seems spot on! I'm still a bit crap at this type of stuff so expect soem dumbass questions from myself when they turn up
