Dankung has the non-stop improvement of products quality with global users. Our slingshot bands and fishing lures are overwhelmingly prevailing in market.
Recently we had a sharp increasement of sales, now there are hundereds of orders to fulfill. We decide to pause the online payment for 5 days (May 18 to May 23 ) so that we can focus on fulfilling and shipping existing orders. At the same time, we will recruite more ......................................

Hope my last week order will be shipped soon..

Anyone notice prices have jumped dramatically?

And I think I really think they need to totally re-due their web site (it is just horrible, one of the worst web sites I have seen), their shipping has gone dramatically down hill, there prices are getting higher and higher.

I used to order from them all the time, but not now. For me the only reason for me to buy from them is to get their tubes. I just ordered from @Slingshooting two+ weeks ago and their order is at least on its way !!

That is why I order Kent tubes from @Latex-Tubing many times, it may not be "TUNED" for slingshots but it works well for me. I just pulled out some old Kent #302, and if that works for 1/4" steel and sends it quick, I will use that, and save my 2040 for serious work ;- )

I have never ordered from them. And it sounds like now would not be a good time to start. Thanks for the heads up

Please keep us posted on the Kent #302. I just got a load of 1/4" steel and plan on using 2040 for now. Would be good to have another alternative.

To be fair - once you managed to find what you are looking for on the DanKung webssite - the ordering process and shipping (Free, or rather included) are very good. Also they do respond well to emails.

The pricing increases seem to be general to China currently - noticed in the last few months everything coming out of there is becoming more costly.

But as an example - I've ordered a few X6 POM's - which I have usually paid $12 each for, now retail at $17.

agree. It's in fact very easy to use Dankung website.

about cost, Dankung had an email about it, the shipping cost grew up 70% because of Covid-19 !

Dankung slingshots, albeit that they are reliable products, are a shade expensive in my opinion. I prefer Piao Yu at Aliexpress these days.

On that note, this looks like a bargain version of the so-called "Heaven Emperor" slingshot:
