RKic Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The website said something about 10 to 30 business days with the SAL option. That is a pretty wide window; what was people's actual experience? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Didn't order from HLJ, but did from 2 Japanese sellers via Amazon with that shipping. Ordered March 17th, received one April 1st and the other on the 5th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) It's been a few months since my last order, but I'm pretty sure my stuff was closer to the 10 day side. -Dave Edited April 12, 2016 by 2qwik4u Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It does vary widely. I had a HLJ order That took about 8 business days then another that was just about 25. It all depends how fast it gets through Customs. If it gets hung up for whatever reason you could be looking at 30 days or more.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 forgot about customs. Oof! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I've never had an order from them take more than 10 business days. It's quite fast for as cheap as it is. If you need t faster spend the little extra for the FedEx option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Owens Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 SAL is "space available" mail, so the shipping time can vary; I'm guessing the 30-day figure is a hedge on HLJ's part to prevent "it's been 10 days; where is my package?" messages from buyers. . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I bought a new fujimi F-14 on EBay on 3/19 and I just got it today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rustywelder Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It has typically taken 10-14 days to get to me here I'm MD. Although I did have one tied up with the customs trolls for over a month once. The last order, I did EMS shipping and had it in 3 days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parche Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Bought from them six or seven times now. Shortest was less than a week, longest was about 40 days of so. Normally in the 14-17 day window. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenlilly106 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It's been a couple of years since I ordered from them but 10-14 days to western VA was normal. I don't remember anything approaching a month. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
