HLJ's shipping/inventory system is totally whack!
For example I ordered 10 of the same thing. If only 9 are available, their system cannot pick me up and just send 9. Instead their system decides it doesn't have 10 to fulfil the order so it doesn't do anything at all.
I wrote to them and said ok I can understand your system is screwed up but now that I have written to you to highlight my order, surely a live human can do it manually and send me those 9 left. They asked me to go to my control panel and reduce the amount myself. KNN....
Oh and on top of this, earlier I had requested them to split my order into two of Qty 5 each but they refused!
The only good thing about HLJ is they speak English and their prices are lower than others but their methods and system really spoil the whole buying process. Their system can't even calculate the amount of postage needed until they actually packed and weigh your stuff. How stupid can they get? But bottom line is still about customer service. If their system can't do certain things then at least have some customer service given by a human.
For example I ordered some toys from Neon Monster in San Francisco. Their shipping method is a flat rate box. Meaning I pay flat rate no matter how many or weight the toys are. I asked them how many can I fit this and that toy in that box. They actually took all the barang I gave them and arrange to see if it will fit that box and got back to me on the same day! Now this is service!
