Obviously if you use the shipping calculator from Hongkong Post it's going to be in HK dollars

. $75 HKD is dirt cheap, I paid around $180 for 2 rackets with regular covers. Which is still cheap compared to USPS ...
The packaging alone weighs quite a lot as well so keep that in mind.

In comparison it costs $115 to ship a 1000g parcel to the US while the same parcel would cost me $150 to Netherlands.

Thanks a lot for everything guys. It cleared everything up. I guess I can't simply jump to conclusions.

hey what's the quality difference between the TW and the SP codes for yonex racquets?
I don't feel too good about this is because it seems like TW codes are lower quality or something...

**adonis** · 12-31-2009, 06:47 PM

it is perceived to be so.. yes.

**ryim_** · 01-01-2010, 09:26 AM

Honestly, I don't think there are much if any difference between the codes.

there are no differences between the codes, the TW are cheaper because of the currency exchange its bit cheaper.

It's very hard to say if the codes mean anything. From a marketing perspective, it makes sense if Japan separates their products by quality, then separate it into tiers, from Japan, NA/Europe, SP, and others.

nice i just ordered arcsaber 10
but what i don't get is can a racket plus a box really weigh
a 1000g?
and wats da difference between surface and air mail altho air mail
is more expensive...
what type of shipping method did you ppl choose?

**dorysan** · 01-01-2010, 10:51 AM

yeah its heavy, i must say that the case (for yonex rackets you got a full racket case) is pretty heavy... 1000g with the carton it is very reasonable wight i guess.
BTW just got my second package from them... By Ems shipping (NS500+Victor Artery 8900 Cls). took only 4 days.
i always prefer Air mail, Much faster.

I've bought from Mr. Chan on a number of occasions and I must say that I did not encounter any problems. Not to mention the inexpensive shipping rates as well.

if you choose surface mail...you'll get the racket in a month or so.

I've never ordered from sohubuy as I only found out about it after I came back to Hong Kong. Its been verified that they're the same store and its to cater for those who cannot read the Chinese language.
