Arranging Chinese single entry tourist visa in Hong Kong

Hello

I am going to fly to Hong Kong (from New Zealand) next Thursday and intend to spend 1 week traveling in China. I plan to fly from Shenzhen to Beijing, spend 3 days in Beijing, then catch the overnight train to Shanghai and spend 3 days in Shanghai and then fly back to Shenzhen and then catch the train back to Hong Kong.

I intend to arrange to get a tourist visa at FBT (www.fbt-chinavisa.com.hk). I understand that they arrange for tourist visas to be processed within one day. However, I would like to know if anyone has ever used them before and whether they actually process the visas as quickly as they purport to. I am planning on going into their offices next Friday, getting the visa and then flying from Shenzhen to Beijing on the saturday, however, I am apprehensive about going ahead and booking a flight from Shenzhen to Beijing because I feel I am taking a risk that if my visa is not processed on the Friday then I'll end up missing my flight (yet to be booked).

Accordingly, my question is: how reliable is FBT, can they really get it done in one day and should I feel comfortable relying on them to process my visa that quickly. I understand they only cost HK$200. Sounds like a great and well priced service.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I have never used their services before, but they are the most-recommended visa agent in HK on the TT.

To be fair, same day service really depends on you delivering your passport and photo before noon. They have never let me down in years and I decribe them as being casually efficient.

Keep banging those rocks together, guys.
