Two orders so far, the first one was pretty quick arriving (4 days), and a second one arrived a bit more slowly - 8 days; not too bad considering the Chinese New Year pandemonium. I used Hongkong Post EMS both times to ensure a healthy separation from those Swiss POS monkeys.
Communication was not a strong point either time, for both orders I was sent a copy of the PayPal "Payment Made" form instead of the Track & Trace number, which is not exactly helpful.
From NZPost, a bit more informative than HKPost tracking.
12.23 PM 29/01/11 Picked up
12.15 PM 01/02/11 Left country of origin
01.41 PM 02/02/11 Arrived in New Zealand
10.30 AM 03/02/11 Delivered to customer
I guess there was a minor delay in the warehouse, but the EMS worked very well.
Again, the customs declaration was for a $2.00 adaptor; not great.
The 6 motors are quite good, very well balanced but two have oversize threaded mounting holes (1/8" perhaps?) instead of 3mm. Fortunately I only needed 4 straight away, so not a show stopper this time. I'll ask them about it after the Holiday.
