Before I posted previous question, I was playing around in HQ site. Seems if I order 50 tubes, the S/H reduced to 0.
i hit hq reds with dan yesterday for a little warm up and to test out Arcadia Badminton Club. Also played with them at sgvbc later that nite and they're great. Lasted a whole singles game (mild game). No wonder they're 18 bucks a tube. grade a for the win!
A heads up to those with contacts in HK. I ordered some Hi-Qua Red from mybadmintonstore and had them delivered to a friend in HK who will handcarry them to Vancouver. The owner charged me $940HK for 10 tubes which converts to around $12.80CAD per tube.
Last year I bought a few tubes of Hi-Qua Red's in combination with RSL Tourney 1. In total 100 tubes. The Hi-Qua red's were around 89 HKD.
The 94 HKD price I got was for 10 tubes. I'm sure they'll give a bigger discount for a bulk order of 100 tubes. That's their HK pickup price, paid in cash.
yeah thats about what I got my last shipment for. Order in bulk and allow lots of time for shipping by boat.
On 75 tubes think the shipping was $65 US if I remember correctly. It takes about 8-10 weeks to get here to calgary from Mainland China.
Finally, get the Hi Qua Blue that I order from HK. and, the quality doesn't look that great. going to try it out this Saturday. Hopefully it play better than it look.
