I've ordered several items from hikishop for the first time earlier this month including a hat and a pair of puttees. I checked today in tracking and it said they were still "processing and shipping" I emailed them earlier this week because I've heard they usually respond within 24 hours however I have yet to get a response from them. It's been a couple days already. I need this order before the month ends and I don't know if I'll even receive this order.

I ordered my Japanese stuff through their eBay page and it came in around 2 and a half weeks. I have heard it varies more if you order from their website though.

I don't mean to be a bother as you were helpful already but have you ordered directly from their site? How was their service? I ordered from their site and it hasn't shipped yet considering I placed my order and payed when this month started. I understand you said their service may vary in their site however they said in their FAQ's they ship within two business days unless there's some Chinese holiday I don't know about. My order still says "Processing & Shipping"

Well, there was a Chinese holiday between 1-8 October. No wonder the cute international girls at my college were wearing kimonos. Still doesn't explain why they haven't responded the email I sent the week after lol.

I don't want to jump into any conclusions but I stumbled upon their FAQ's and started talking about "cheap-chanel-watches" www.hikishop.com/index.php?main_page=faq_info&fcPath=1&faqs_id=5and I'm starting become skeptical and doubt that my order isn't gonna come in at all. I'm just wondering why a militaria website would be talking about watches in their FAQs.

I mean, I bought from him a couple years ago a couple of different times and had no issues. I wouldn't call it quits just yet. Did you order via EMS shipping or HK shipping?

I ordered from him via EMS during the start of this month. It's now the middle of October and my order's status is still "Processing & Shipping". Idk if he doesn't really update his orders and for all I know my package is on it's way right now. Have you had the same experience? I don't wanna sound rushy but I need this order before the 31st.

I just went and looked at my past orders and they were still in processing. I am not sure why he hasn't emailed you back but if this stuff was really needed by the end of the month, I can't say ordering from overseas was the best idea in case stuff happens.

I'd like to thank you for giving me some feedback. I feel a bit better knowing my order is most likely on it's way as well. And maybe I'll be a regular at Hiki's knowing how the business runs now.

Hikishop just got a new regular. I just received my order in the mail today and when I took it out I was first skeptical because the sweat band was sticking out and the neck flap was too short but I realized it's how it was originally manufactured. I assume this hat is based off an early model used during the Sino-Japanese war? May explain the length and color of the hat. Hiki is after based in China so these models may be more prevalent than the "tropical" ones I'm used to seeing. In movies, I usually see them wear blackish-green hats and long white neck flaps. I wanna portray the China front so this is definitely appropriate. Really, the only flaw I have with this is that the last loop for the neck flap comes off when I put the hat on but it's not a major deal at all. It won't kill me.
