I've had no problems with HCK at all. The A4 is on its way from him Monday via DHL within 3 days. Fast shipping can happen, it just costs a lot.
They could use a better return process however, but this could be said of almost every Chinese vendor I've used. Shipping costs and time add up for both sides. When you stop to think of it, a return item has to make a ~4,000 mile trip total. Unless the item cost $100+, it's better to just accept a partial refund than deal with returns (my opinion). This was nearly always the risk of anything not localized or via Amazon. It isn't for everyone.
For me, I'm happy we get to experience these items we otherwise would never have had a chance to in the hobby, despite some risks.
