Title: Happ orders take how long?
Post by: Gaston77 on June 10, 2006, 11:05:10 am
How long does it take HAPP to ship goods via DHL Economy International? I have been waiting for 2 weeks now! Do you have good experiences with Happ?

Shipping is one of the biggest complaints people have with Happ. While it's been a few years ago, my order of a Super, 8 pushbuttons of assorted colors, 2 miniature pushbuttons and 2 illuminated pushbuttons took about a month and 4 shipments to get. That was the first and last time I've ordered from them. I'd rather order them from Ponyboy or someone else in B/S/T.

All of this was within the US, though.

Took about 2 months to get my monitor. Shipping was high also. To give credit where it is due, it was packed very well and received in good condition.
I would recommend ordering buttons, joys and such from either ponyboy or divemaster. Both have great reputations, good prices, faster and more resonable shipping. I have yet to have a bad encounter with either of them.

Since Happ Controls is buying out all the other parts suppliers they will soon be the only game in town. Then they can take as long as they want and charge as high as they want (like they don't do it now).

I've never ordered directly from Happ since their prices are almost double that of Happ resellers. Is there a Happ dealer in your country?

Call them ... and be curtious ... that's what I did after waiting a couple of months for a backordered montor ... went out next day and I had it a few days later.

Cheers.

I've only ordered from them once (about a month ago), and they shipped the very next day.

They ship the next day, unless the item you are requesting is not in stock. Sometimes I have had to wait a few weeks for items out of stock.

I always have them ship part orders so I am getting so stuff to start with. If you wait until your whole order is ready then you save on shipping but get nothing until its all in.

This is true...I guess I should have mentioned that my item was out of stock when I ordered it. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression on the length of time to ship.

Also someone mentioned calling them...good suggestion...when I called the lady was very nice and gave me an estimated time of delivery...she was right on.
