yes, the owner is quick to respond too. i've bought rackets from them on a number of occasions when i was still living in toronto. good prices and he usually ships them out quick as well.

It's too bad they don't have the TC700 in 2U. I can't seem to find it anywhere besides badmintonshoponline.us

**wiifanatic** · 12-10-2009, 03:42 PM

I just ordered a racket from here. It was either going to be from here or badmintonshoponline.us. Badmintonshop would have been slightly cheaper with a free grip, but after reading about their supposed smear tactics I decided to get it from here instead.

They are quick to respond to emails and got my racket strung and out to ship very quickly. It just left Hong Kong but I'm predicting the shipping speed will slow down in the U.S. since it's the holiday. Now that I'm done with my final exams, I can go home and anxiously wait for this to come in

I know the feeling of anxiously waiting for the racket to come and checking the status of the shipment every once in awhile

This store sounds pretty good. The only thing thats bothering me is the shipping price. I really wish that it wouldn't be so high. How much did my fellow United States players have to pay for shipping?

The shipping I paid for my past orders from Mr. Chan were very reasonable. On past shipments, I checked the price of shipping online (with the dimensions and weight of the package) and it came very close if not the same to the amount he charged me. The only problem I see is if you get charged by customs.

Hmmm....I might be missing something then. When I input the United States into the shipping calculator, the cheapest rate turned out to be $75. Is there another, cheaper form of shipping? I guess its understandable, but $75 for the cheapest rate of shipping is kinda ridiculous.

$75 in what currency? I've never use the sohubuy as I use e78 (same store by the way) and I usually just email Mr. Chan for my orders.

Thanks for your help. I'm going to simply send an email to the store and see what they say. I assumed that it was US dollar, since there was no HK$.

Yeah, best bet is to email and ask. The prices on the website are in both HKD and USD so the shipping might be HKD afterall. Though you're much better off emailing them.

My racket cost $115 HKD to ship (about $15 USD) which is very reasonable since it's an international shipment and took about 7 work days to arrive (~70% of the wait time was because my package was stuck in customs).
