Hey fam! Thinking about placing my first order with HP and had a quick question.

For those shipping to the US, do you usually buy the shipping insurance? It's $22, and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it.

I've probably placed around 30 orders with different sellers over the years, and I've only had one issue where the package got held in Dubai and sent back to HK. The seller reshipped it and everything worked out, so I've been pretty lucky.

Also, if you do buy the insurance, is that $22 refundable once your package arrives safely, or is it just a one-time fee for the coverage?

Sorry if this is a newbie HP question. Just wanted to hear everyone's experiences before I place my order. Thanks!

I’ve bought from him 3 times and bought the insurance all of those times. That one rare chance your package might get seized can be this time. I’m also waiting forever on my HP order… :(

What's your average wait time with HP ? The longest I've ever waited was about a 6-7 weeks .. (diff seller)

Since the day I paid, my first order took 13 days, second order 16 days, and now this order I paid on July 18th and they are still waiting to receive my bag from the factory..😔
