If you're going to Hong Kong first, have it done there

Don't bother doing it here. I made that mistake earlier this year and I ended up waiting in line for over 2 hours at the china visa office. Their ticket system there sucks ass.

Sooo if I'm not going to HK, does anyone have any experiences with these type of services?
I'm not too keen on lining up in Vancouver.

if your not going to HK, Then I guess you can only do it here if you are flying to china directly.
Last time I did it here. I went to line up at 6am or 7am I believe

I just got mine done at Travel Gallery Tours Ltd @ 1265 West Broadway
they charged me 20bux service fee to do it on behalf of me.
came to 95.00 for double entry.
20.00 is better then lining up for 2 hours at the passport office.
took them about 3 business days

Looks like I'll be doing a really short stopover in HK too. So I just got it done here, $20 as magster mentioned.
Yo geoff when you going? Me and Justin will be in HK in Nov, I'll be heading to Shanghai afterwards too.

took them about 3 business days | my travel agent offers the same service, basically it's the same guy running around town collecting the passports... totally worth the $20
